woohooo how exciting! can i ask who ur OB is?

U can expect ur 1st exciting scan! which will than give you and EDD! also u will have a chat with ur OB about ur history health wise extra - ur OB might weigh you - you might get handed a little pregnancy journal and some pamphlets with information etc.. than at the end book your next appt! Oh and at all my OB appts i had to give wee samples! Im trying to think back to what else happened on my first visit, but i really cant remember - i think i was way too excited to take any of it in!

I had a chat about my history, had a scan and an internal examination..

If you are due for a pap smear, your ob may also do that too if you agree to it..

GL, and don't be afraid to ask any questions to the ob or midwife..
