  • When's the appointment date? 1st appointment with the NP on October 14th, I will be 8 weeks 2 days. 1st appointment with the OB on November 5th at 11 weeks, 3 days. It is going to be a long 3 weeks!

    What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? I am looking forward to confirming my EDD and (hopefully) getting an ultrasound. Most importantly confirming that everything is ok and moving along as it should be.

    What questions will you be asking? So many questions: if my prenatals are ok, what to expect from future appointments, exercise, etc.

    GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? This will be our first (possibly first and second, fraternal twins run in my family and I am one) and we will hopefully have 2 or 3. Depends on how this pregnancy goes I suppose!

  • Finally scheduled the appointment for 9/29, at exactly 8w. My husband just changed jobs and while the insurance went into effect immediately, the cards were taking their time in arriving. I was worried I wouldn't get an appointment at 8w (which is the norm with my obgyn) but later.

    I am most excited/anxious just to see that there is actually a baby -- last year I had a BO and the empty US was devastating. And since my body was entirely oblivious until 14w I am worried I might be disappointed again. Seeing a little smudge of a baby is all I want. Heartbeat would be awesome too, of course.

    Questions-- mainly regarding what is ok for my RLS. Melatonin? Peppermint lotion? Peppermint oil? RLS ointment? Avoiding all in the meantime, and night is not fun.

    GTKY: This will be my first. I would love to have five or six children, Lord willing, but since I am 29 now, that may not happen. I can still pray though.
  • When's the appointment date? October 7th- I'm counting this as the first because my other one they just had me pee on a stick and said YUP! You're pregnant and answered a few questions. 

    What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? Seeing Baby Who and knowing that everything is growing and moving along as it should. I think I'll stop worrying quite so much at that point- I hope.  OH and finding out if we're going to have 1 or 2. My Dad is a twin but he and his brother were adopted so we don't know if it runs in his family. 

    What questions will you be asking? I'm not sure yet- I know one I will be asking is what my restrictions are on tea because I've been limiting myself but Fall = lots of tea for me usually. 

    GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? I only have 2 furbabies right now (2 pitbulls who are adorable) but DH and I would like to have two human babies. 
  • I had my first appt with the OB nurse today, got some lab work done. Now to wait 3 weeks for my 1st OB appt. (IM)Patiently waiting.

  • First appt was last week.  First real appointment is next week.
    Most looking forward to hearing the heart beat and knowing everything is OK.  I have had spotting and cramping and I just really really really can't wait for this appointment.
    Questions I will asking, good thinking.  I will prepare a little list beforehand so I don't forget everything.  I forget when I am suppose to start the weekly shots, I don't know how long I can haul around and carry my toddler who loves to be held, how much traveling I can (we travel a lot as a family) stuff like that. 

    We have one wonderful toddler.   Having two kids would be great, even 3 but I won't push my luck. 
  • Just had my first appointment with my midwife group :) They offered me an early ultrasound, and I'm taking it as my symptoms disappearing has me nervous. I'll find out next Tuesday if all is well with the amoeba (what I call the baby...ha). Then, heartbeat check Oct 29!

  • My first appointment was just an intake where I met with a nurse. I POAS so they could confirm, filled out a huge questionnaire on health/family health etc. then had blood work done. My second appointment was with my midwife and she did an u/s + physical exam/pap smear. NEXT appointment will be my "first trimester screening (blood word + u/s)", this appt is with a specialist.
  • When's the appointment date? Tomorrow, 10/7!! New to the state, new patient, new everything. They'll probably want me to pee on a stick. What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? The date of the first ultrasound. What questions will you be asking? How likely will thing 2 arrive early like thing 1? How much shorter is my scary short labor expected to be with this one? GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? We have one perfect little hellraiser right now, and want 2.

  • Wow - you ladies all have super early appointments! My GP has me booked back in for a blood test at 10 weeks (Oct 28), and a scan at 12 weeks (Nov 10), that's about it though - I've not yet been referred to an OB or had any other tests (she didn't even feel my belly!). is that normal? it's my 1st pregnancy so I want to make sure it's all in order! I didn't know quite what to make of my first appointment with my GP!

    When's the appointment date? Oct. 19 I'll be about 9 weeks.

    What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? Hearing the heartbeat, seeing the baby, and getting the "everything looks great" speech.

    What questions will you be asking? I have all of the questions! Lol. Most importantly though I want to make sure I am eating right. I have always been underweight and don't want that to be an issue. Also make sure meds I'm taking for allergies and eczema are OK to use during pregnancy.

    GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? This will be our first DH and I are thinking 2 or 3 in total. But I only want one girl so if this one is a girl that might change some things lol. ;) =D>
