Its a good idea to know that you are starting out on the right foot. They won't say anything about your not being married, or too young, since it is not their business.
The only thing realy is to have your annual exam and to ask any questions you may have. The doc can also help you to chart your ovulation to make getting pregnant easier.
Good Luck!!

They may mention those things but it is your decision. My husband and I found out I was pregnant a month before getting married. I had the security of getting married right away but people were skeptical. Thought it was only because of the baby. People will always look at you funny for being even slightly different. Don't worry. It's normal. And it doesn't mean you are doing something wrong. You aren't 14. You are an adult.
If your doctor tries to change your mind and won't listen to you then you need to switch doctors. You need a kind and caring doctor who will listen to what you want and need. Not just what they think is best. If you need me to ask my doctor if he has any colleages in your area with similar practicesand such I would be glad to. I have had an opinionated uncaring doctor through my first pregnancy and it's no fun. I chose this doctor through a friend referring me. He likes to make jokes and he listens to any questions yo have. If you are concerned about a repeat bad experience you can voice that concern and tell him what went wrong. He explained to me why my doctor was absent for most of my delivery but also said that I was right he should have been there before he got there. I hope things go well for you. Give me a ring if you have pregnancy or conception questions.. I can't always be online so that's why I'm giving you my cell. (313)515-7710 if you ever leave a message just mention this question so I know it wasn't a random wrong number... I get those a lot.

GOOD LUCK!!

The fact that you are worried enough about what the doctor might say, that you are considering putting your health, and the health of your future child at risk, by not getting the proper treatment, tells me you aren't ready to be parents yet. A child isn't a pet. It's a living human being, that is going to need you and it's father for the next 20 years or so. If you haven't made a legal/spiritual commitment to each other, how can you even consider entering into the commitment of parenthood? Wait until you are married.

i could defintely see the OB/GYN - surprisingly in case you haven't any longer had a examine up or pap smear in the previous 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. they could get all that stuff out of ways. The pre-being pregnant seek for suggestion from is probably with a nurse practioner or something like that rather of a doctor who can do an entire examine up. proper needs and different toddler airborne dirt and dirt!

I just went to see my OB for a pre-pregnancy screening and he did not do much. I was not due for my yearly pap. He did give me prenatal vitamins which you should take for 3 months before pregnancy. Extra Folic Acid also VERY important. You should not ever feel uncomfortable at your doctors appointment. He/She will probably not say much to you about your age or status. However, if you are already assuming that there will be judgment that you want to avoid that judgment.... then maybe you should evaluate your situation.

You are an adult and the doctor will think you are responsible. It's not her job to lecture people, just to keep them healthy. It's a good idea to establish a relationship with an OB/GYN ahead of time. What if you found you hated your doctor? It would give you time to "shop around" and make sure you find someone you like and have confidence in their medical skills.

I doubt the doctor will say anything about that to you. Ultimately, this decision is up to the both of you, not your doctor. Just think about it like this... the very same doctor you are seeing likely has patients that are 18 and 19 years old.
Hope that helps set your mind at ease.

Of course! It's none of their business (they dont get personal with you like that) My husband and I tried, and we weren't married...and i had just went in for a paps...and like amonth later iw as back. Hes like wow that didnt take long! Just make sure you choose something who you are comfortable with, because mine never pays any attention to my questions and i always feel rushed...Get somebody good because when the time comes youll have a lot of questions and the last thing you want to do is be ignored!!

if your insurance will cover it, or that could be pretty pricey.
Also keep in mind ob/gyn's typically book far out, especially for something like this. Dont be suprised if it takes months to get in.

Its not for your doctor to judge you on when you can/cannot or should/shounldnot have a baby unless its for medical reasons. Its an opioion that he might have but ultimately it should be up to you both.
