I have a lot of pregnancy symptoms, I’m late, and three pregnancy tests have said I’m pregnant. I can’t be more than like one month pregnant.
Pregnancy is calendared from the first day of your last period. Just FYI.
Call your regular doctor for a referral to an OBGYN (if you don’t already have one). They may want to do a blood test to confirm your pregnancy. Most OBGYNs will see you between 8-12 weeks. It depends on their practice.
Depending on your area, you may need confirmation from your doctor that you are pregnant, meaning you peed on one of your doctor’s tests and it was positive and/or they did a blood HCG test. So call your obgyn and find out if that applies to you.
After that go to the doctor if they need confirmation, even planned parenthood will work then call and set up an appointment. Depending on how many OBGYN’s are in your area is based on how soon you will see a doctor, and if they have a policy regarding how far along you have to be.
Some have a policy where you have to be 8 weeks, others get you in when they can, it took me a month to get into mine, the only other OBGYN in my area was going to be 2 months. So call now and see what has to be done before you go to your appointment.
Congrats and Good luck!!
You should call your OB and make an appointment right away. I went in when I was 6 weeks along, only a couple of days after I found out I was pregnant.
At the first appointment, you fill out paperwork about your health/family health background and that of the babies father. They do a pap smear, and run blood tests to check for diseases and blood type, etc.
They will also give you info about tests they’ll do throughout the pregnancy, diet concerns, prenatal vitamins, and answer any questions you might have.
Congrats and good luck!
