Having My 3rd Baby And Am Scheduled For My 1st Ob Appt Ever!

Well, I scheduled my very first OB appt!! I'm so excited to (hopefully) be a normal pg person this time. Although, gotta admit I will miss the regular u/s and the reassurance of the cervical checks and seeing the babies. With the girls, I saw a peri the whole time and never once saw a regular OB.

I just thought it was a little funny that I am on baby #3 and OB #1.

What should I expect at the 1st appt??

 

Congrats again! It's so exciting! For me, the first appts always included basic health info, blood draw, urine, my ob always did an u/s to check dates since my cycles are so screwy. They gave me a packet of info about the practice as it related to ob stuff (I got the same packet all four times! LOL) I think that's it...Good Luck at the appt!!!

 

Congrats!! The first appt. is pretty routine, though they may do a pap, answer questions, etc. You might find it downright boring after a twin pregnancy, LOL.

After the morning sickness passes, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to carry "just" one! At least, I'm guessing so, because I did it backwards -- and am a little horrified at how much harder it is to carry twins.


Good luck! Hope everything goes well.

 

ditto on the pp.... I'm planning on being pretty bored this pg...although it has had a bizarre beginning.... My first pg with my dd only had 2 u/s done... I don't even know how many I had with the twins....it was a lot. But even if this pg turns out to be "just" one... I already got one more u/s than I had with dd...never had an early u/s with her. They were 12wks and 20 wks. I'm going to miss all those interactions though. I remember that with first dd I had to make sure I wrote all my questions down b/c you don't go in that often. So if you have a more routine question to ask you have to make sure to fit it in. I also plan on scheduling with each of the doctors at some point so I can get a variety of opinons on vbac.

 

You'll probably feel a little neglected this time around. The amount of visits with a singleton is nothing like with twins.
