Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

First appointment.: That depends. Some primary care providers follow patients throughout pregnancy and delivery. Many providers see patients between weeks 6 to 8 of the pregnancy. So, there isn't a rush. You can call now to schedule the first appointment with an OBGYN as their might be a wait time. Congratulations.
