My GP usually doesn't get a urine sample on my first appointment (this is my third pg) & has just ordered bloods - although with my second baby I had to give a urine sample at the pathologist when I got my bloods done.
Depends on your GP really. Mostly they just take a quick history to check that you are not high risk, check your BP, possibly have a feel of your tummy and may talk to you about your prenatal care options.
The GP will ask you about your LMP because they always make a note of it, even if it isn't at all relevant to when you conceived. They will also write you a referral for an early dating scan if you think your LMP won't make for the right EDD (though they still usually work out an EDD based on LMP ... just for fun, I guess).
Congratulations on your BFP!!! Wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months
ETA: Lots of posts while I was typing - Andie, my GP has containers that they give me to take home for urine samples (even if it is for the pathologist). Maybe you could ask if you could take one home and bring it back to either the doctor's office or the pathology lab when you go in to have your bloods done.
