mindhugs, I was told by my FS to find an OB after our first scan (7w2d). Like you, I was apprehensive about it, but did it anyway. I was booked in by 8wks. When I booked, I was told I was the 2nd last one they'd take for around our due date. So, as difficult as it is, if you want your choice of OB (rather than whoever is left), book now. My OB normally sees patients at 10wks for the first appt, but we couldn't get an appt that soon, so we had to wait until 12wks. We had our 2nd scan with the FS at 10wks anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. And Possums is right - nuchal scan window is 11-13wks. You need a referral but it doesn't have to be from your OB. I just got my referral from my GP. But the GP did require proof of pregnancy. Fortunately they had a letter from my FS since I was referred to him by another GP at that clinic.
Kaybee, symptoms will come and go. It really did my head in during the 1st tri.
Possums, FX for a perfect 10wk scan!!! Uncharted territory is great!!!
Aimee, I'm sure bub is fine. No amount of flopping on the bed is going to hurt them at this stage.
