When should I book my first doctor appointment?

Some sources said 7 weeks, some said 6 or 8.

If you don’t have any underlying issue (ie miscarriage or health concern), the doc will usually recommend you to have your first appointment on week 7-8. That’s when you can start detecting the heartbeat.

best is after 7weeks to better detect heartbeat. But if worry anything go at week 6 is ok. I booked my gynae at week 7 but he ask me to come at week 6 just to make sure all’s good. 😅

i booked my gynae at week 8 but they told me to come at week 7 too haha

I am going to have my first appt in 2 weeks time which is about 5 weeks so it depend on individual i guess. You can call up the clinic to check with them. 😄

best is after week 7, higher chance to detect heartbeat (but don’t fret if you don’t hear yet, mine was week 8)

I think best to just call the clinic and book. Sometimes it’s hard to get appointments.
