Hi everyone
I have my very first obstetrician appointment tomorrow and have no idea what to expect. Feeling a bit nervous but excited. I'll be seeing a private ob and I'm 10 weeks along.
Hopefully some of you will be able to fill me in with some info on what I should expect tomorrow?! Thanks :D
Same as Kim88 only I had some blood and urine tests ordered (routine checks) got weighed, checked blood pressure, ob felt my abdomin and booked my hospital for the birth. I didn't have the internal u/s at the ob's my ob ordered it and I went to an ultrasonographer for a date scan to confirm EDD and check for heartbeat etc.
My dh came along with me.
Thanks Kim and Tiff :) Guess I will find out tomorrow! I feel like I should be going in with a list of questions, but I really can't think of any!
How did you go Lyn?? :hug:
I've never had an internal ultra sound. I've always had a dating ultrasound before 12 weeks, but a normal one. Checked blood pressure, weight, bub's heart beat, urine, order bloods & u/s, work out EDD, talk about symptoms & discuss hospitals. Maybe do fundal height - measure size of uterus if far enough along.
This is how it went for me anyway. How did u go?
Tiff & BJ - it went very well! I love my OB. She has the best sense of humour. She started off by saying well done on getting pregnant! And then went on to stress how pregnancy is a completely normal life event, which gave me the feeling she is all for natural normal events to happen :)
But basically as you guys said, just went through my medical history and I talked to her about my endo and how my tubes are supposedly blocked from it, but not anymore! Had to give a pee sample and go and do a blood test. She didn't do a scan because I already had the previous two scans from 5 weeks and 8 weeks which had all my dates on them. My next scan is Saturday week (at about 12 weeks) for the NT test. She gave me a brochure on eating in pregnancy. My next appt is in 4 weeks time. That's about it.
I really like her, she explains everything well and just made us laugh the whole time. I didn't really have any questions for her though but I feel like I should have so I think I will write some down for next time.
