Pregnant after IF

What to expect at first exam?

I have my very first "exam" on Tuesday at 11w5d. I saw the OB once before and just got random info. I'm just wondering what they'll check on me physically at this one? Do they look at your cervix and all that this early?

Re: What to expect at first exam?

  • Depends on your doctor.

    My OB was going to do a pap since I was due, but I had been spotting so I declined.

    I got weighed, b/p, and an u/s. He answered my questions..that was it. Pretty quick.

  • Mine did a pap since I was due, doppler for heartbeat but did u/s instead because I asked, weight, blood pressure, and got sent for a ton of bloodwork (I think it was 5 vials worth).  That's it - it was easy and painless :)

  • They'll probably make you pee in a cup, and check your weight and blood pressure. I also had an u/s and she checked their heartbeats with a doppler. She did a pap but it was a few weeks after my first visit with her.

  • I had my first appointment today, and I had a PAP (mine was due anyway, but I think they typically do one if you haven't had one within a year).  They also took 6 tubes of blood and I had to pee in a cup and all that.  They also did another vag. u/s.

  • Thanks girls! I've already had 2 ultrasounds and did the blood work and the pee in a cup, so I guess we'll see!
