Hi bkkgal,
dunno if i remember correctly, i think my gynae mentioned that for first tri, usually frequency is about once every 3-4 weeks.
But depends also...for my case, first visit only in 4th week, so cant see anything...i went back 2 weeks later and saw heartbeat...she schedule me to go in another 3 weeks time, ie my 9th week...so i guess after that will be at 12th week, ie 4 visits in first tri...
actually personnally, dun mind freq shorter cos i wanted to have the assurance that my bb is growing fine...esp during first tri...and my fren also told me, bb develop very fast, so you might missed out something if delay too long...
so depends on how you feel...if you think 8 wk too soon...maybe can ask your gynae ok to delay another week or so?
as for change of gynae...if you wan, think do it soon...cos otherwise your records all at the other gynae (but you can ask them to fax over any tests you did, i previously visited once at a gynae but change to my current one after frens rec) ....and the first gynae visit is usually more ex...so u have to incur that if you change...but if really not comfi, better change, cos doc gonna follow u for 40wks leh...
