Not sure how it's done there but at my 17 week OB appointment they weighed me, took my blood pressure, and we listened to the baby's heartbeat.

Good luck with your appointment!

I think in some places you have to ask to hear the heartbeat at 16 weeks. I didn't

i have recently had my 16 week appointment and the midwife tested my urine, took my blood pressure, weighed me, discussed the results of the blood tests i had at 12 weeks, took another blood test to screen for downs syndrome, had a feel of my stomach and we got to listen to babies heartbeat which was amazing.
