How soon should someone see a doctor after discovering they are pregnant?

Asked by ItalianPrincess1217 (11979points) January 9th, 2011 from iPhone

On my birthday (what an amazing gift), I took 3 pregnancy tests and all were positive. I went to planned parenthood and they confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. They gave me someone paperwork for insurance but until I actually have the insurance I can’t see a obgyn unless I want to pay $600 for prenatal care and $200 for a sonogram. I’m going to apply for the insurance on Monday but I’ve been told it can take 30 days or more for it to kick in. Is it safe to wait this long to see a doctor? How soon after someone finds out they’re pregnant should they head to the doctor?
