First prenatal appointment tomorrow
Hello I see my gyno tomorrow for my first appointment! I was told that I will be having an ultrasound at this appointment but not too sure what to expect other than that? What happened at your first prenatal appointments? How far along we're yo at your first appointment?

For me it was mainly going over history and getting some information. I had my first appt with the nurse to confirm pregnancy with their test...then I had an ultrasound to find out how far along I was (I was about 6 weeks...I really had no idea how far I was since I had a miscarriage and never had a period in between) Then I had another appt with the nurse for the history part. The next time I had an appt was when I was about 12 weeks with my OB and I had an exam done and we went through history and talked about so e of my concerns. I also had labs done when I had my appts with the nurse. Hope that helps a bit...do you have a general guess how far along you are? (Or know for sure). There will be a lot of info thrown at you...if you need to, make a list of of questions so you get all the answers you want/need! Good Luck tomorrow.

Thank you Rebecca! I'm not sure how far along I am as I had what I wouldn't even call a period more like spotting on may 2nd and my last actuall period was April 6 so I really don't know! When you had your ultrasound at 6 weeks were you able to see anything?

We had a good heartbeat and we got a picture...(to me) it looked like a baby...you could see the shape of the head and the shape of the body. (Like a blob type shape). They pointed out the placenta...don't remember what else, but those were the main things. (I had a vaginal ultrasound since I didn't know how far I was and I knew it wasn't more the 8/10 weeks). Let us know how it turns out and how far they estimate you to be! :)
