There is one common question when to consult doctor during pregnancy? It’s recommended to call a doctor as soon as you receive a positive result on your pregnancy test. Some clinics may be able to fit you in immediately to confirm your pregnancy or put you on a waiting list. The first prenatal appointment itself usually takes place between 6 weeks and 10 weeks of pregnancy.  You will need to see your family doctor or specialist to arrange a referral letter prior to your first appointment. While waiting for your first appointment, it’s important to start practicing basic habits such as eating a healthier diet or avoiding alcoholic beverages to support your pregnancy.
