How soon to see the doc?

All the information that I've been reading stresses the importance of seeing the doctor. How soon should this happen? I'm in my 7th week of pregnancy...very much a newbie. My doc won't see me until the 9th week. (Part of that is also due to the 4th of July holiday.) Is that normal to wait until then? This is my first baby and I'm CLUELESS! I don't know if my back is supposed to be hurting already...or what the deal is with a lot of the other symptoms I have...any advice is greatly welcomed!

I depends on when you found out. Most Dr.s don't get you right in. Takes a couple of weeks. I have been preg. twice, eight and half years ago with a health girl and recently had a misscarrige and my midwife see me around six weeks. As far as the back pain. If it's concerning you than you should call and tell them. I don't know what other signs your talking about, but sore breast, bloating feelings are normal. You may have little pains from your uterus strechting. If you are spotting, really bad headaches, you should be seen soon. Try not to worry to much, stress isn't the best for the baby either. You should have cut back on any or mostly all caffine and no smoking. Take a prenat. vit. with folic acid is very very very important. Hope this helped.
