2nd gynae visit in 1st trimester

Hi fellow Mummies, which week was your 2nd gynae visit? My first appt was 6+ weeks, and doc scheduled my next one at 8+weeks. Initially thought of going in again at 10+week where we can do NIPT etc., and another at 12+ week for further tests required. Thinking if it’s necessary to go at 8+ weeks or if it’s fine to wait till the 10+week to go in again.

I think the 8-week visit is usually just to confirm the heartbeat and check everything is progressing okay, so if you're feeling fine and your doctor didn't flag anything at 6 weeks, skipping it and going straight to 10 weeks for NIPT might work. That said, every pregnancy is different and your gynae may have scheduled it for a reason, so might be worth checking with them first why they booked you in at 8 weeks, just to be on the safe side. Most mums I know do the standard visits, but some have also managed by spacing them out a bit depending on their doc's advice.

some would prefer to err on side of caution but at least for me, i think can wait :)
