Prenatal care

I am the only crazy one who called my midwife's office before anyone else?
Anyhow I got an apointment at 12 weeks or so. I am so excited.

So anyone else already have apointments lined up?

I called my mw at 3w4d I would have called her the day before, when I got my first BFP, but it was Sunday and she doesn't take calls (unless you're in labor or it's an emergency) that day.

I don't have an appointment scheduled yet because I don't want to be seen until 20 weeks, which is January, so she doesn't have a calendar to put me on yet We don't do ultrasounds, doppler, or early testing, so any apppts before 20-24 weeks are extremely boring.

I called to get in for betas, but no official appt yet. I will have a u/s in two-ish weeks. I am hoping no MW appt until 9-10 weeks at least, since I don't see a point to it before then.

I called my midwives' clinic the day after my first BFP - no idea when I ovulated but I think it was day 28 of my cycle. If you don't call immediately here, you end up on a waiting list, so I wasn't taking any chances! I love my midwife so I was so happy to hear she's able to take me on.

Yep, I called my midwives and I have an appointment for the 6th. So excited!

I'm working with an OB this time around because my first two pregnancies ended in losses. I called her the day after my second BFP and have an ultrasound appointment on October 20th for dating. I can't even express how badly I want to see a little heart beating away!

I have to call on Monday to see when I can be seen....hoping to get an u/s soon!! I m/c around 12 wks last pregnancy and never got to hear the heartbeat

I just made an appointment for our first interview with a HB midwife for this Tuesday. I'm so excited! It's just an interview, though---If we use her, I won't have an actual appointment with her until at least 12 weeks.

I've got my first ob appt on Oct. 5, right now, according to my dates, my EDD is June 2. Cannot wait to get in to the doctor. I know they won't do one on the 5th but maybe in Nov. they will do an u/s for dating. We had a loss before our yds and I never miscarried. We found out during an u/s at ten weeks that the baby didn't make it past six. Awful!!! So, I am on pins and needles til we get to the heartbeat stage.

I just called and made an appointment for Oct. 9th. They wanted to know if I wanted to come in tomorrow (Sept. 29th) but I would just rather wait. I'm using a different CNM this time and I've heard awesome things about her, but I don't see a point in going in a 5 weeks compared to almost 7 weeks.
