I Got An Appointment Posted: 03-09-06 15:25pm
I got an appointment for the 13th at my
family doctor, apparently he does do
materinity. My mom is taking me to the
appointment and for some reason they are
going to make me do a urine test again, do
you know why they would make me do it
again when I already did a home one and
one at the walk in?
Is there much else I should expect at this
appointment other then alot of chit chat
and the urine test?

You'll definately receive a pap smear,
which is never a fun thing. And you'll
definately have to get blood work done.
Depending on how far along you are,
they'll try to find a heartbeat too. That
makes the whole visit worth while!!!
Is you Dr. Male or female?? It doesn't
really matter. Mines a guy...He's really
laid back and cracks a lot of jokes...Some
are funny and some are like..Ummm...Ok!
Lol
They'll make you do a urine test at every
appointment.
Be prepared for the doctor to check you're
boobs & to give you a pap.
Lol the joys of pregnancy

I was 6 weeks at my first appointment and
they did a urine test (you will have to do
one at every appt it's to check for sugar
and iron in your urine I think), blood
work, and he did a pap which I didn't find
that bad it was over really quick. He'll
probably ask you some back ground
questions too about your family and
yourself.

They do a urine test for thre obvious 'is
she pregnant' reason. :). They also do a
urine test at every appointment to check
if their is any protien in your urine.
Not a good thing if there is. My doctor
was quiet a bit differant from the states
so I got an ultrasound every appointment.
I do know you get a papsmear on your
first or second appointment though.
Usually the first appointment is an
initial background information.

Well I unno if ill get a pap test since he
isnt a gyno, he's just a family doc. My
mom want to see if he can reconmend me to
her gyno cause she thinks he is good. I
dont know how comfertable I would be with
a complete male stranger looking around
down there you know? But if it must
happen it shall happen.. Would I be
allowed anybody in the room when they do
the pap smear like my bf to keep me more
comfy?
As for parents knowing only my mom knows,
im planning on telling my dad later this
week threw a note I plan on writing and
leaving on his pillow. Anyways I shall be
on my way to bed so I can get up in the
morning for school *sigh*

you should be able to have anyone you want
in there with you, as long as space
permits. I had male doctors throughout my
entire prengnacy. You really don't care
once you think it's all for the baby. I
felt the same way, but I was just fine
:).
Regular doctors give pap smears, but your
right, be may not just because he won't be
your primary obgyn provider. And no
matter who you have in there, its not
going to be comfortable :). Those things
are just yuck. Good thing you usually
only need one your who pregnancy.
I'm glad you stepped up and told your
mother. Its at least a step! Leaving a
note could and could not be the best way.
Yes it would allow you to not be there
while he gets upset, but its also showing
that you arn't ready to stand up and face
the facts and responsabilities. You and
your mother should sit down with him, and
tell him togeather. You should not do it
right after he gets off work, or if he
seems to be stressed.
I hope everything works out for you, if
you have aim and needs to talk, i'm

i like the word :).
I know what you're saying. I only wanted
a female doctor at the time too. They
checked my cervix several time while I was
in labor. Men and women. Let me tell
you. It hurts either way. You should be
more worried about their reputation then
how big their hands are :p.

Having my mom in the room while telling my
dad would be like the stupidiest thing I
could ever do. My dad hates her,
everytime he sees her he raiges and even
hearing her voice he gets upset.(they got
divorced 2 years bck in a not so good
siduation) I believe the note would be the
best for him because him and his side of
the famliy tends to over react about every
little thing. Also if my brother eric
found out he would prob hit me, and call
me names.
