My first appt they didnt do much to be
honest... They are gunna do their weird
way of measuring your tummy to measure the
baby, they do a boobie check, just do the
over all like how u feeling and what not,
they confirmed my pregnancy (each time I
go in they make me to a urine sample) and
they weighed me that it as far as I
remember at 8 weeks they trieeed checking
for a heartbeat but normally dont hear it
till 10 weeks

I am always regular. My fiance and I have
been almost trying since april! I was 3
days late and took 2 different hpt. They
both were positive. Oh and my neighbor
said you get a pap on your 1st appt...Is
that true?

And to reply to kitty. Yes, a hpt can be
wrong. Are you pregnant and not showing
on hpt?
Good thing it is just a check....Pap's
freak me out. I am 24 and still hate
them!

First Visit

Shelly,
i just came back from my 1st visit this
morning, and they did a pap, checked to
see how big my uterus is, and they also
took some blood to check my blood count,
check my iron, and other tests i'm not
exactly sure of. Probably not what you
wanted to hear, since you hate pap's and
needles...But i'm the same way...And it
wasn't that bad. My only thought was
that I better get used to it, since i'll
be having a lot more of the same over the
next 8 months. I'm only 5 weeks, and my
doc wants to do an ultrasound in 2 weeks.
I'm excited, cuz we'll be able to see the
heartbeat. Yay!

Rlr...
Yeah, I guess I had better get used to it!
Did they tell you right away what your
hormone levels were and things like that?
I hope I can see the heart beat too...How
fun!

I had 2 get my blood taken atleast about 5
times! I had a miscarriage so they had 2
check the levels everyother day and yeah
it was crazy, I got used to it though.
Wait im getting more blood taken this week
to see if im pregnant again so I guess it
would be 6 times.
