first appointment
8 week scare
Yesterday was our RN intake appointment. Lots of counseling, handouts, labwork, etc. We made it through in one piece and I received the best news possible - I'm allowed to eat turkey sandwichs! I have been building the perfect one in my head for the last month and yesterday I finally got to eat it. It was a dream come true. :)
At the appointment we were talking about symptoms and how I was feeling and if there were any signs of trouble. Nope, things are good. Most days I can eat okay, constipation seems to be coming under control, mild cramping but no spotting...until afternoon.
First Prenatal Appointment
QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
I am 4.5 weeks pregnant and just called to schedule my first prenatal appointment. They have scheduled the appointment between my 11th and 12th week of pregnancy. My pregnancy books say the first appointment falls earlier than that (approx. 6-9 weeks). Is it normal to schedule a first prenatal appointment so late?Tristine's Triumph -- Entry Four
This is going to be more complicated then I thought. Already I am running into difficulties to just getting my records sent to the right office.
What to Expect at Your Baby's First Doctor's Appointment
After you leave the hospital, you will be in close touch with health care providers for the first months of your newborn's life. If you leave go home within 48 hours you'll probably be asked to see your pediatrician when your baby is 2-4 days old. Learn what you can expect to happen at that first appointment.
