Hello all!
First time preggo here, and I am 5 weeks! The doctor wants to see me on Mar 6th, ill be about 6 weeks 4 days, and then again on Mar 21st for a "psychical exam". Which one can I expect an unltrasound? I am assuming Mar 6th is just for blood work and to go over things? Does anyone else have a doctor that has them come at 6 weeks and then back at 8?
Re: What to expect at Doctors visit?
Don't assume you are getting an ultrasound. Some doctors do a dating u/s in the first trimester, but not all doctors offer this, and not all insurance policies cover more than just an anatomy scan at 20ish weeks.
And it is physical.

I had a quick doctor's appt at 4 w 5 d and it was basically determine the due date and send me off for 2 rounds of bloodwork and urinalysis, advise me to take a prenatal vitamin. I only had the 2nd round of bloodwork done because I had a m/c last year.
She wanted to see me again in 2 weeks to start my prenatal checkups, ie: weight, histories, etc. Go over my bloodwork. She is giving me an u/s at 11 or 12 weeks again, only because I had a m/c last year. Otherwise I'd be waiting until 18-20 weeks.
But where you live may be different

Before I was even given an appt with an OB I had to do the bloodwork to verify pregnancy. This is how my insurance works so I dont know if yours does it too. Anyway, at my first appt (9w6d) I filled out a lot of paperwork and did more labs. At my second appt (10w) I went over my labs with a doctor, did a full physical (breast and pelvic exam), a PAP and an u/s to verify age of baby.
