I live in a small rural town down here in Tassie. I guess there are probably quite a few differences depending on where you live and what your doc likes to do so it might be best to have a good chat to your GP about what happens.
If you have an OB then you might see him every once in a while but it'll probably be your GP who you see most often (probably also depends on whether you're going public or private). I'm going through the public system and I was only referred to an OB because of my history and being classed as high risk, otherwise I would have just seen my GP (who's surgery is a couple of towns away!) about once a month and then at around 20 weeks I would have started seeing the midwives at the hospital over in the bigger town.
As for ultrasounds, a lot of the girls on BB seem to have one at 12w and then around 18-20w like Tracey mentioned, however down here if my pg was only low risk and I was just seeing a GP/midwives I would have only gotten 1 u/s at around 18w.
