When should i go to the gynecologist during pregnancy?
Just got my positive test and im so happy but also clueless about next steps. Dont know if i should book the gynac right away or wait a few weeks. Pls guide a first timer.
Haan, jaise hi test positive aaye, apko doctor se appointment le leni chahiye, na! Vo pehle folic acid shuru karwayenge aur phir 8th week ke aas-paas scan karenge.
Your first appointment should be around the 6th to 8th week for the first scan. After my C-section, I realized how important those regular doctor visits are to monitor everything, so dont skip any scheduled appointments.
I remember the overwhelming emotion of my very first gynac visit where I heard the babys heartbeat. Pls book an appointment as soon as u miss your period, it is a beautiful and important first step.
My MIL told me to wait till the third month before seeing a doctor, but my husband and I decided to go in the 7th week itself. Its always better to go early so they can start your folic acid tablets on time.
Oh, I ran to the clinic the very next day after my home test, thinking it was an emergency! But actually, they usually call u around 7-8 weeks for the first heartbeat scan, so dont panic and just call them to book an appointment.
Usually, u should go as soon as u get a positive test to confirm the pregnancy. While minor things like gas can be managed at home, any serious symptom like bleeding or sharp pain means u must go to the gynac immediately.
