Doctor Dilemma

Literally the day I found out I was pregnant I called my doctors office.  I asked if it was too soon to come in and the receptionist kindly let me know, its never to early to come in, so I asked to see my doctor.  She informed me he left that office, which was 'ok' because I was going to switch to a female doc anyway.  Then she told me they would have to set up a billing appointment with me first. OK, that I can do. The first possible appointment would be a week from the day I called.  THEN after that I can schedule something with a doctor. So much for trying to come in as soon as possible.

I now know, from preggy friends that most doc's will ask to see you no earlier than 10 to 12 weeks.  Well this whole 'billing appointment' was not going to work out.  Charley has a class right at the time we would need to go in for this appointment and since I would be looking for a new lady doctor anyway... I cancelled the appointment and found someone else.  Its really hard to know what I need to be looking for in a doctor at this point, especially since its my first, and on top of that its been over 10 years since my mom was pregnant and any friends I have that are pregnant don't live in the same state.  I went with my gut feelings on the doctor I chose.  I made an appointment with her and its not for over a month away!  But I did go get my blood tested yesterday for them and now I am stressing.  The office hasn't called me. Isn't it like a rule that they have to call you for any tests you get done and the nurse who took my blood said they would know the next day.  I just really hope its positive!  Other than all this doctor craziness (and now that its typed out it doesn't sound like it was a huge dilemma but let me tell you, IT WAS!) the only major symptom of pregnancy I have is that my boobs are killing me!!!
