Can't believe the doctor refuses to see me until 11 almost 12 weeks? Is that even normal?

Everyone is different, but at that point your passed the most crucial point..aka the chances of miscarriage drop. Its a little ridiculous but that could be the reasoning. Maybe look into other providers

Yes. because the baby isnt big enough to see anything anyway. My appointment isnt for 4 weeks.

it was for my appointment, which is so annoying because the first like 8 weeks are the most crucial

mine seen me for the first time close to 11 weeks...

Yeah my doctors had me wait too.

Really nothing they are going to do for you anyway. they can't prevent anything, you should already be taking prenatal and a ultrasound wont anything but an empty hole in your stomach. It's scares women more than waiting

My medical card only covered certain places this hospital has pushed my appointment back twice now and not even told me about it i got a paper in the mail a couple days before and I'm worried they aren't taking it seriously because of my age @heatherlg88 @answeredprayer16 @2queenbee9 @rmreed

Don't worry. Honestly there is nothing they are gonna do. They will get bloodwork and do an ultrasound at 11 or 12 weeks which is perfectly fine. You dont need to see the doctor this soon unless you are high risk.

@2queenbee9, thanks honestly just worried to death I don't know what to expect and some guidance would be nice

That's totally normal. Kind of a bummer, I know😕

Yeah. Just start taking prenatal vitamins now. Drink plenty of water and don't worry. You dont really knoe what to expect and seeing you now wouldnt give you any answers. It's only a few weeks away!

thats normal...most dr.s like to wait till after 12 weeks because that is considered the safe point as most women, when they do miscarry, they do it before 12 weeks.

they do that because after the 12th week your a little safer to not have have a miscarriage and that's when they let you hear the heart beat anyways. but for me I didn't hear his heart beat til the second trimester 14 weeks .so just take it easy n take your prenatals hunn

Thanks everyone I'm just a paranoid first timer 😹😅
