After 8 weeks my appts have been pee in a cup, vitals, heartbeat and maybe some blood work. My dr did u/s at 6 weeks and 8 weeks to ease our minds b/c LO was a total miracle. I had the 12 week and 20 week u/s at the hospital. Then the next "big" appt would be the glucose test. I don't remember 16 weeks being anything out of the ordinary. A majority of your appts will be rather quick.
Re: what usually happens...
Make a pregnancy ticker
I went yesterday. It was basically standard stuff, pee in a cup, get baby's HB, weight and a blood draw.
I also scheduled the a/s, Dr.'s interested in having it done in 2 weeks. I am so super excited!
Here is how mine went.
Weight, blood pressure, pee in a cup, listen to heartbeat.
OB asks if I want to do the extra blood tests. I said no. I asked about VBAC he said no and the appt was over.
No ultrasound and scheduled the A/S appt
