Primary ok?

Wed Sep 26, 2012 3:35 pm

Hi, I'm currently 8.5 wks. Pregnant but can't get an appt. until oct 25th (12wks). I'm 35 and nervous about waiting that long for my first appt. & this is my first child.
Can I go to my primary practitioner until I can be seen by my midwife? (Pregnancy has already been confirmed by blood test, and I am taking prenatal vitamins)
I'm also finding that my prenatal vitamins are making my " morning sickness" last all day.

Hello Leia1977 and I see that you found us in Pregnancy in General.

If it were me I would give my primary doctor a call and schedule an appointment. He or she knows you and your body and can offer help until you can see your midwife.

I also found this article for you: Q&A: My prenatal vitamins are making me sick so I've stopped taking them. | BabyZone

I hope you will feel better soon!

I agree, give your primary a call.

About the vitamins, you could also try switching brands and see if that helps. I think I took prenatal vitamins that were Target brand since they didn't make me feel sick.

Good luck!

I take my prenatal vitamins at night before I go to bed. That may help you to not feel so sick during the day.
