Prenatal visit!

I have my prenatal visit on Tuesday, any advice on what to ask or talk about?

 

This is my first pregnancy, so I am just unsure if there are certain things I need to ask and everything.

Thanks!

    My first appointment is on Tuesday as well.  I have a few specific questions to ask related to symptoms I've been having, but other than that I'm assuming they'll be asking most of the questions. 

    I've been told it's a wise idea to bring a notepad to jot down any information from the doctor and to list any questions you may have since you may forget by the time your appointment rolls around.

    Make sure you write down the questions you want to ask. I always seem to forget one of them!

    Most of my questions revolved around food and health. I was reading a lot of books and online articles about what to eat and what not to eat. My biggest problem was that my DH and I decided to keep the pregnancy a secret, even from our parents, until the 13th week. Well, going to my parents' house and telling them that I didn't want clams and mussels (my two favorite shellfish, caught fresh down the block from their home every summer) caused them to panic that there was something wrong with me, that I must be sick. But the doctor reassured me that shellfish is ok in moderation as long as it is fully cooked. The other questions I had involved what medicines I can and cannot take, emphasizing the fact that I am a teacher and will most definitely be exposed to many germs on any given day. Your doctor will give you a lot of information at the first visit. Always keep a running list of questions to bring with you to the next appointment.

    Thanks y'all!! My appointment was yesterday morning and it went well. I was also really concerned about what to eatand everything. So I actually have an appointment to meet with their dietician on Monday to try to get a good healthy eating plan!
