hi! so this is my third visit w/ my obgyn (minus the nt appt) and i just wanted to know what to expect. i've already seen the little peanut, heard the heart beat and went in for my nt scan (each appt. more amazing then the next!). i just wanted to know what a regular, 'run of the mill' dr. appt. consists of. thanks!
With my Dr, I pee in a cup, the nurse weighs me and takes my blood pressure, the Dr comes in and we chat for about 15 minutes, she lets us hear the h/b with the doppler, she asks me if I have any questions, and that's it. I go every 4 weeks, then towards the end it will be every 2 weeks, and then weekly.
My regular appointments now consist of me peeing in a cup, measuring weight and blood pressure, the nurse uses the doppler to hear the heart, and I see the doctor just to talk about how things are going.

I, too, go every four weeks for now. A usual for me consists of giving a urine sample, weight and blood pressure. The the doctor asks a few questions, measures my uterus externally and we get to hear the heart beat and see the baby on a portable ultrasound machine. How many weeks are you? I go back in two weeks (which will be 20 weeks for me) for our first official ultrasound.
