So, I had my first appointment today at 7 weeks - little Ham is due June 26, 2014! I was a little disappointed, though. All I did was see the nurse, pee in a cup, and have blood drawn. Since my periods are so irregular, I was hoping for a dating ultrasound. Oh well! Next appointment is in December!

I'm surprised your dating ultrasound is so far out! Either way, congrats and yay for a EDD! To a healthy and happy 9 months!

I didn't have a dating u/s either- I was hoping to see the little flicker of a heartbeat. But my periods were regular and I'd been charting so I didn't need it.

Wonderful news!! Congrats. FWIW, you can always call your midwife/OB and request a dating scan. They can either do it in their office, or write you an order for a local lab. You'll have to pay for it (but you would have anyway). Seeing that little peanut is pretty amazing, but even if you choose to wait, I'm sure this will be such a fun time for you!!

@Mrs.Ham: Congratulations!
My first appointment was like that too. So boring

@Mrs.Ham: Congratulations!
I only had a dating scan because I had had a recent-ish miscarriage, and they wanted to get a solid date. And I was a nervous wreck during the sit-down with the nurse....she got us in to ease our minds. Otherwise I wouldn't have had one until 10 weeks?

That stinks. But it sounds like that's normal for a lot of offices. My ob is the same way. Makes for a long few weeks of waiting. Just think though, at 12 weeks you'll be able to see the baby's features and not just a blob.
hope the next few weeks pass quickly for you!
