I was actually 7 weeks before I saw the doc. Sometimes it is hard to get in to see a dr. There are many people that don't go until later. Don't worry about it. I would, if you haven't already, go get some prenatal vitamins. On my actually 1st visit to the dr. he examined me and did a pap smear. I also had scheduled an ultrasound the same day. I had already seen the nurse the week before and talked to her about my concerns of having another miscarriage. The nurse gave me my due date and they also took a bunch of blood and took a urine sample. Pretty sure they will do all of this in the 1st visit for you. Good luck and keep in touch. Take care

As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I made an appt, but they wouldn't take me till i was about 8 weeks, so 11 isn't too far off. Expect a big question and answer session - about you and your health history and stuff. Also a pelvic exam and pap if you need it. They will examine you, to see how your pelvis is shaped. Also they might do a breast exam. They'll take blood and urine. At 8 weeks, they didn't even attempt to listen to the heartbeat ,but maybe'll they'll see if they can find it at 11. Just explain what happened with the scheduling and they shouldn't be TOO mean about it. I ended up not having my second appt til 15 weeks and they asked what happened, but I was just honest and they didn't push the issue or make me feel guilty. Good luck and have fun!!

awww don't feel bad many people are that far before seeing one due to insurance or just finding one! I was 6 weeks with baby 1 and about 8 weeks with baby 2 and now this one! LOL Usually they do a complete physical. They may do a U/S or schedule you for one to verify dates. You need to get bloodwork done which they may do there or send you to a lab for. They usually explain a bit about what you can and can not have as far as meds and food. Then you can express any concerns you have to this point! Its not bad! I always feel better after evry appt. I am now 17 weeks almost 18 weeks actually!

i too am 11 weeks pregnant and just went to the dr. yesterday i wasnt able to go until this week too i got to hear the babys heart beat yesterday it was pretty exciting good luck with ur visist write me and let mwe know

My firt apt they did a pap and asked a lot of questions of health history. It was good. I also got to see a sonogram. The baby's heart beating was so cool to see. Every Dr is not the same but maybe you will get to see your baby's heart beating too.

Thanks for the reassurance I really appreciate it! :) When i told my mother in law that i was nervous about the first apointment all she said to me was "OH dont be SILLY" so yea... i feel better now thanks guys XOXO

sweetie i was 28 weeks at my first appointment!! I had a really rare pregnancy though where i showed absolutely no symptoms - and i mean NONE what-so-ever for the first 27 or so weeks. I have a friend i worked with however who is pregnant, about 24 or so weeks along, and she's only had one appointment, because she just doesn't like the doctors and she will only start going routinely around 26 weeks. Women do everything differently and i really doubt you'll be looked at strangely for going in later. I can understand why you're a bit nervous though, its so important we feel comfortable with the doc's we choose so dont be scared to ask questions, and make sure you're happy and feeling satisfied after every appointment :) Lots of luck xox

There's no reason to go to the doctor before 9-11 weeks. Especially if you don't have reason to be high risk. You will be fine, and the doctor won't think anything of it. You're far enough along to be ready for all the fun stuff. Utrasound, heartbeat, ect
Good luck!
