Hi Katiegirl,

Yay you get to finally go to your 1st appt! Bummer that DH cannot go. At the first appointment it is really just an introduction to Dennis, he gives you your ultrasound forms, asks if you have any questions or concerns, he has a feel of your belly to see how things are going, checks blood pressure but apart from that not much else happens. If DH cannot make it to the 1st appt, then definitely see if DH can make it to the 12 week appt which you have after your scan as it is good for him to meet Dr D and also a lot of what he said to me went in one ear and out the other as I was worried about things going wrong, so it helps to have DH there because he will remember everything that you don't!

Can't answer question about pre-natal exercise because I haven't even thought about it yet! I am still playing hockey and training for it 2 nights a week so until the season finishes will not be looking at any extra exercise but I will be reading what others have to say so I know what to do when hockey finishes!!

My pg didn't feel real until I had the scan and saw bub but hopefully you will feel more pg once you have seen Dr D!

I am the same as you in regards to m/s, no vomiting here just nauseous when it comes to red meat and weetbix!

I was just on the Cabrini website and saw that you should be doing pre-natal classes between 12 & 20 weeks. I hadn't even thought about it yet and am 14 weeks. I suppose I had better ring and book in. I just assumed you would do it closer to your delivery so you don't forget!

Good luck for Monday - enjoy!
