question on gestational age

[Guest guest]

Hi. Was wondering about the first pre-natal visit. Mine is in 2

weeks (assuming I'm pregnant--2+ HPTs) and I read that a lot of you

went to see your OBs during the 8/9th week. Is that gestational age

or time since conception? I will be at 7 weeks gestational age

during my first appointment, so I am assuming there won't be anything

to see on an ultrasound, but would the heartbeat be audible? My DH

is irked because I didn't ask any questions of my OB's nurse, but to

be honest, I was so shocked they were scheduling an appointment I

didn't think to ask any of the detailed questions.

Thanks,
