I have my first visit tomorrow with the perinatologist. I'll be 10 wks and I was just wondering what to expect.

my first appointment was at 16 weeks, so i got a very detailed u/s, then talked to the doctor about his expectations and what the rest of the pregnancy would be like, and restrictions and stuff like that.

at 10 weeks, though, i guess you'll get an u/s, but i think it's too early to do all the measurements and such. i imagine you'll get some bloodwork done too?

blood work and an u/s to measure the spine and fluid surrounding it...usually called an NT scan.

I see mine every two weeks. They never did any sort of blood work or anything. My first appt was when I was 19 weeks and they did an ultrasound and took measurements. Since I am at risk for TTTS at my second appt they did another ultrasound to check to make sure both babies were getting enough fluid. My thirs appt they took measurements. I have another appt on Thursday and I think we are just checking fluid again.
