    Me!  I love them!  8 week appointment you'll meet with a nurse and they'll go over any question you may have, tell you what you can and can't eat and basically ask you questions to set your chart up.  You'll have blood drawn, pee in a cup and have blood pressure taken.  My DH came to my 8 week appointment with DS and they gave him a first dad's book.  :)

    CONGRATS!

    awesome. i cant wait for the appt. it seems like it is taking forever to get to 8 weeks. i really like alliance too. did they give you an u/s at your 8 week appt?

    No ultrasound at 8 week.  At the 12 week they listened for the heartbeat and had a pap.  Unless you are getting the NT scan, (which I didn't) I don't think you normally get an u/s until 20 weeks.  At least I didnt.

    Who is your main doctor?

    My main doc is Dr Guerin who is also great.  But I met Dr Halverson during the rotation when I had my son.  She also seemed very nice!  How did your appointment go?

    I see Dr H!  Love her!

    Cramping is not too unusual early on. I had cramping off and on for a couple of weeks......and the bloat!  Yuck.

    8 weeks is just with the NP and in an office, sitting at a desk and talking.  No U/S.  I had bloodwork, pee in a cup, tb skin test, flu shot (it was flu season).  Lots of talking and basically an "intake" appointment.

    I had a quick U/S at 12 weeks because they couldn't find the HB on the doppler (not unusual).  The portable machine was there so they did a quick look see.  Most do not get an U/S until 20 weeks.

    GL!

    Oops sorry!  Should have read all the replies first.  I only met Dr. H on rotation but she seems very laid back and nice : )
