Late prenatal visit?

I'm 8 weeks pregnant. I called and scheduled my 1st prenatal visit when I was 4 weeks. My appointment isn't until March 3rd when I'm 9 1/2 weeks. I've seen so many posts of women having their 1st visit at 6 weeks and now I'm a little worried. Anyone else have their first prenatal later in the 1st trimester?

It also depends on where you are. In England they schedule later than the US. Also if you are healthy and in your early to mid 20's, they are less worried about anything going on. It's the pregnancy prime.

Thanks ladies for your comments. It makes me feel better.  I started taking my prenatal vitamins before I got pregnant so I'm super good there!  :)

During my first pregnancy I didn't have one until I was 12 weeks you'll be fine. As long as you go in your first trimester

To be honest you're fine. I didn't find out I was pregnant till 26 weeks due to not having any symptoms what so ever. Everything is going great with my baby and I.
