congrats on ur first pregnancy! im guessing its ur first? if not congrats anyway of course! im pregnant with my first. i was seeing an OB doctor that no longer did pregnancies so i had 2 switch doctors which really sucked because i loved my old one. anyway with my old doctor she tested my HCG levels twice & when they shot up over 11,000 she put in an order 4 me 2 have an ultrasound (i LOVE ultrasounds) i was having irregular periods so there was no way of telling how far along i was (i hadn't had a period in about 3 months when i randomly ovulated & got pregnant!) we never found a reason for my periods stopping either! anyway so i had an ultrasound but that wasn't my first "appointment" it was just an u/s. we seen baby & heartbeat & i was 6 weeks at that point. i then had 2 call around & find a new doctor & i did & shes okay.
anyway so at my first appointment (i was almost 8 weeks) i had blood drawn to find out my blood type & to be tested for things like HIV & hepatitis. i also had a pap smear 2 check for other STD's or any kind of infection. at every appointment i have she has me pee in a cup & i think they test the pee for bacteria for UTI or something else. she would've done another ultrasound but said since my baby & his heartbeat were seen that there was no need 2 do one. i have had 2 more since then though.
so that was my experience with my first appointment with my new doctor. i asked about everything.. why my morning sickness was so bad, why i was having slight cramping, why she wouldn't try 2 listen 2 the heartbeat with a Doppler yet, if i was at higher risk for a miscarriage since its my first pregnancy & i hear a lot of women who miscarry their first, signs of miscarriage or even a missed miscarriage, asked if i should be worried i've lost 12 or 13 pounds, & so on. if i were u, when u think of something u want 2 ask ur doctor write it down & take it with u so u don't 4get anything. ask anything u want! good luck!!
