How early was your first appointment?

Here, it seems typical to get your first appointment between 8-12 weeks. My sister told me that her OBGYN said after 10 weeks. But I've noticed a lot of people here posting about their appointments at ~6 weeks. I wonder if this is dependent on the country you're in, or if you just specifically requested an earlier appointment?

Do you think there's any pros or cons about going in at 6 weeks vs waiting until 8 weeks?
