I didn't get an ultrasound until 12 weeks, unless there was a problem. They did listen to the babies heartbeat though.

My first OB appointment was at 6 weeks, they took urine, blood, blood pressure. I had a pap and pelvic exam. And then my OB just spoke to me about things to avoid and what to expect. I had my first ultrasound at 7 weeks 4 days, that was at the hospital where the OB referred me. They have better equipment at the hospital so they do the earlier ultrasounds there.

It depends on your office. I got a dating u/s at my first appointment with OB. But no pap because I just had one that year.
I know my friend's office they did not do a u/s at her first appt.

My first office visit was with a NP and we talked about visit frequencies, hospitals they delivered at, dos and don'ts and basically any questions I had. If I remember correctly that same day was the dating u/s. Then my next visit a month later was with a OB.

I went at 9 weeks for my frist appointment with my actual OB, at 6 weeks I had a meeting with a nurse to go over medicial history and take a pregnancy test to confirm for them. At my 9 week they did a pelvic exam and then I did have an U/S which is not common, she just wanted to make sure I wasn't further along then first assumed. Normally my practive only does a 20 week U/S.

I had an appointment at 4 weeks and then my first U/S three weeks later. It just depends on your doctor's office if you'll have one or not. At my doctor's office, you have to schedule an appointment for an U/S w/ a tech and it's done in a whole other area. For my first pregnancy, it was a smaller office w/ just one doc and I got an U/S at my first appointment.

I had an ultrasound at my first appt. at 6 weeks. We were going privately though, so our doc did one at every appointment.

Wow your first OB appointment is a lot earlier than mine! My OB office wont even see you until your 8-10 weeks and at that point in time it's just with the NP. The following appointment would be with the midwife or OB.

For me I did not have my first appointment until I was 15 weeks (actually 16 because my due date was later moved) and at that time it was still only with the NP. Even though we knew I was further along they still did the appointment as if it was my 8-10 week one...family history, went over what you should/shouldn't eat and sent me for labs. They also sent me for a dating u/s at 16 weeks which turned out to reveal I was 17 weeks and moved up my due date. I had my next appointment with the OB at 18 weeks and standard u/s at 20 weeks (my husband wanted to know the sex of the baby which we actually found out from the first u/s which was a good thing because DS was not having it on the second u/s).

I went in at 6+weeks because I had a lot of bleeding. I sat and chatted with my OB and had an u/s. I was SO relieved when I saw my LO's heartbeat!
If I hadn't had bleeding, I would have seen my OB closer to 10 weeks.

My first OB visit was at 8 weeks. I did blood + urine tests with my GP when the pregnancy was confirmed. I had an ultrasound with the OB. I didn't have a pap smear as I was not due for 18 months.

I peed in a cup, and then I was weighed, had my BP taken, and the doctor did a transvaginal u/s. The nurse then took about a million vials of blood from me for genetic testing. My doctor asked me a few questions, and that was it! Pretty quick. No pap as I'd had one about 6 months ago. Good luck!

My first appointment was 7w5d. They did an internal ultrasound and were able to see the little bean in there. There's not much to see at that point but it makes your heart swell to a thousand times it's size when you see it for the first time, no matter how big it is.

The last time I saw my primary care doctor, it took 14 weeks to get in (8 weeks to the first appointment time, but she was off that day, then 6 weeks to the time I actually saw her.) I called to set up an appointment, mostly for referrals for GBS and RH testing... "Does tomorrow at 1 work for you?" Uh.... Sure? I'm only 4 1/2 weeks pregnant, and you're actually willing to see me? Who are you and what happened to my (rather crappy) doctor?
