First real doctor's appointment today!

So, I'm 13 and a half weeks, and I'm just now getting into my first appointment. I saw baby at 8 weeks for confirmation, but I had been teetering on whether or not I should get an abortion (for reasons unstated). Of course, I decided against it, and I'm so excited to go to my appointment today! I'm just worried because I'm starting so late.. Is there anything I should be expecting today? Specific tests?

    I think a pelvic exam is usually pretty standard at 1st prenatal visit.  Also, since you are 13 weeks there is a decent chance that they will listen to baby with the doppler.

  • No worries, I'm at 12 w 2 days and mo appointment in sight ( but that is thanks to health insurance complications). :( women all over the world and all across time have gone through pregnancies without appointment s all the time, I'm sure your baby is doing wonderfully :)

  • I'm almost 13 wks and had my first visit with my midwife last week. She just made sure I had gotten my most recent pelvic exam and everything was normal (asked for records to verify). She asked all kinds of health questions, listened to the baby's heartbeat, and let me ask questions. Are you seeing a midwife or ob?
  • I had my first appointment last week at 11w6d. My doc did a pelvic exam and listened to baby's heartbeat. Hope your appointment went well!!
