Q: When Do I push the doctor to see me?

Back where I am, docs don't see you until you're 8-10 weeks pregnant. Im feeling very low, dizzy at times, want to throw up, heavy in my lower tummy at times.

Its affecting my work. I haven't been going to the gym in about 3 months and im really starting to get a big tummy because of this. Everytime i work out I get worried I might be doing something wrong as I had a miscarriage fairly recently.
Im about 5-6 weeks pregnant now

You can always go to the emergency room if you have immediate concerns that your doctor's office won't address.

At 5-6 weeks pregnant there really isn't much a doctor could see or do for you, which is why they don't have you come in then. If you call in you could probably get them to prescribe you some anti nausea meds if you really want, but all your symptoms are totally normal, so try not to worry :) Working out won't cause any miscarriage that wasn't going to happen already, provided you aren't going above and beyond your bodies abilities.
good luck!

All these things are normal pregnancy symptoms. Your big tummy is bloat not lack of exercise, gentle exercise won't harm baby but your muscles are receiving chemicals to help them get ready to support the growing baby so it can be easy to pull something so they suggest not working that area much.
It can be hard trying not to worry when you've had a miscarriage but if you were to see a dr now he wouldn't be able to reassure you much even with a scan as it's still to early, this is why they don't see you till later.
I know it's difficult but try to hold out just a little longer.
Congratulations though x

If your primary doctor does not want to see you I would suggest calling another ob to get in and let them know about your history. If its going to put you at ease do what you need to
