1st appt

I walked in to get my pregnancy confirmed. They took some blood. They also wanted to do the glucose test today. I couldn't because I had to get back to my kids and couldn't wait an hour. Is that normally given the first visit?
Dr. was really friendly, which I like. I'm not sure if we are sticking with these people or going to a birth center(which I would prefer but they've raised their prices). I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Monday, can't wait! She gave me a prescription for progesterone just in case, which i'm thankful for. All around, good visit.

  • Eh. Kinda weird to do the glucose test at the first appt ...esp when you didn't even get an ultrasound first. Actually that's very odd....

  • That's what I thought, @babeRN101. I didn't remember it so early. I don't feel bad now for putting it off.
     
  • That seems way too early to me.

    I had to do one on my first appointment because I have a family history of diabetes. My midwife says it is routine if you have a family history or if your BMI is over a certain number.
