There is nothing wrong with going to the doc early. Sometimes the doc looks like they don't know what to do with you because they aren't always used to it, but go when you want to go. Use it as an oppertunity to ask them about what sort of care and testing is available to you - and don't let them fob you off with "there will be plenty of time for that later". the earlier you start collecting information relevant to your local area, the more time you have to consider all your options properly. some area's you need to book into hospital's nearly as soon as you find out you're pg. Other's (like canberra where I live) the hospitals won't book you in until you are further along, and the midwife program, doesn't see anyone until they are at least 16weeks (I will be nearly 18weeks, when I finally see them).

Your doc may or may not confirm your pg with either a urine or blood test. they may or may not take your weight and blood pressure. they may or may not give you referrals for standard blood work-ups and u/s. I always go in prepared to ask for these things, if that is what I want. I have had doc's tell me before that there was no point giving me a referral for the nuchal translucency u/s that early, that I had heaps of time. But I know from experience that it can sometime be hard to book into the u/s place, so it is best done early. Also this time round, the first doc I saw, I really didn't like; and the u/s place he referred me to was going to cast $100 more then the one I ended up going to (after getting a referral from another doc).
