I just started my 7th week of pregnancy. As an activity, I thought it would be important to setup an appointment to meet with an obstetrician. Everything I read online suggested that most OB's meet with their patients between the 6th and 8th week of pregnancy. The office I'm going to prefers to have the first appointment between the 8th and 10th week.
When I called and spoke to the receptionist, she asked why I needed to see the OB... making sure I was pregnant. When I told her I was, she said "congratulations". That was the first "congratulations" I heard. I called her while I was at work but went outside and away from the building so no one overheard my conversation. I don't know why, but for some reason I get kind of nervous when I have to call people I don't know. When she asked if I was married, I was grateful to say "yes". I can't even imagine not being married and finding out I'm expecting. For me, that would be a terrifying experience.
My appointment isn't until the 12th of June... more than three weeks away. I got the earliest appointment possible (8:30am) so I don't have to miss as much work. I was kind of hoping to meet with the doctor sooner... but I guess it's protocol.
