I'm having trouble finding a good OBGYN. I'm 7 weeks and they haven't done an ultrasound I haven't even saw the doctor. Just the nurse. Is that normal in USA? Any advice? #new mom #obgynsucks #wherecanigetmyultrasound
Seems ike it! Just I didn't like ther nurse sje gabe a bag with vitamins samples and she just said.. Take one of each until you find the one you like it... Is.not make up are vitamins for my baby... In Any case I decided. Switch :)
Thats very normal. When finding your OBGYN you should be very careful & do your research because you want to be sure that your baby will be cared for by one of the best ! Also you want to make sure that your doctor Truly cares about your health 💕 I wish you a blessed pregnancy & a beautiful baby
Thank you so.much lovely latanaca! I will keep and eye on that. It just seems more difficult of what I tought actually find a OBGYN 🤦... Blessings back to you!!!!
That’s how it is everywhere. Most wont even schedule first appt until after 8 weeks. Usually first appt prior to 8 weeks is for blood work, pap etc
Oh I see what a boomer. My Sis in Mexico had a ultrasound since 6 weeks I thought will be the same here in USA. But thanks so much for the information now I will.be more calm and waiting I guess ;)
My first appointment was an education visit with the nurse at 9 weeks. I had an obgyn visit at 10 weeks and they did an ultrasound to check how far I was. This time around I did midwives, which typically don't do ultrasounds. So my first one was my 20 weeks one, however I had an emergency one at 12/13 weeks because I was bleeding (cyst on my ovary burst)
That happened to me on Friday I start bleeding and run to the ER they did a vaginal ultrasound and say baby is ok probably bleeding was due to a ovary burst. Thanks for sharing with me !
Typically the first ultrasound is done between 8-12 weeks I would say in my experiences (at a US doctor). Those that have earlier ones typically are high risk or there is another reason for it as that isn’t what I would say is the norm because typically earlier on you can’t see much yet.
Very normal. Sounds like your OB doesn’t suck and is just following standard care guidelines.
