What do early "routine" appts consist of?

veebug22

I have an appt tomorrow with my midwife, and the office told me it was just a "routine check-up". What do these appts normally consist of, other than taking my blood pressure and weight? I know later on there will be various types of fetal monitoring, but I'm curious about what happens this early. I know there won't be an u/s, but will they do anything to check on the baby, like check its heartbeat? I should add that I've already have my initial appt and an ultrasound. Thanks in advance!

That's pretty much it - they will weigh you and take your BP and probably ask how you're feeling and if you have any questions.  Later (after 12ish weeks) they will measure your fundal height and listen for the heartbeat.

is this your first appt?  if not, all the appts are basically the same until about 36 weeks.

weight, BP, pee on a stick to check for protein/sugar.  listen for HB on doppler.  Do you have any questions?

if not, see you in 4 weeks!!

 

my appts were about 5-10 mins depending on my questions.

Weight, BP, pee in a cup. As you et further along the peeing in the cup gets harder, lol.
