Hi jbie,
I was concerned about having an internal too, but with both pgs, didn't have one the first OB appt...in fact, the only internal I had was when I arrived at the hospital (5cm dilated)!
First appointment both times was a chat, paperwork, BP, an ultrasound and getting referrals for Nuchal tranlucency and 20 week scan. The first OB asked for a urine sample, the new one didn't.
Hope this helps,
G
