I am 6 weeks today.

I also have cramping if I do too much. I have slight insomnia even though I am so tiredChat Icon

My sore boobs went away so of course I am freaking out.Chat Icon

I go back to the Dr. on Tuesday for another sono.Chat Icon

Six weeks tomorrow and I go to the doctor's on Monday.

I don't really feel any "symptoms" either. I have light cramping if I overdo it, but other than that I am just tired. No sore boobs, no m/s nothing.....

I don't really know what I should be asking the doctor......if I need to ask anything at all.....



I found this for youChat Icon

What to expect during your first visit to the doctor

On the day of your first visit, your obstetrician will do the following things.

~ Determine your due date.

~ Ask you several health related questions to assess your general health

~ Ask you about any genetic conditions associated with you or your family.

~ Find out if there are any pregnancy risk factors based on your age, health and/or personal and family history. If there are any genetic diseases (like sickle cell anemia, thalassemia) that run in your family, you might be counseled for genetic screening.

~ She will assess your weight, check your blood pressure and do a general physical examination.

~ A pelvic exam will be done to assess the size of your uterus and pelvis.

~ Order blood tests and urinalysis to rule out the presence of any other health issues.

~ Prescribe prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid.

~ Schedule your next visit.

Your doctor might also:

~ Check for your baby's heartbeat using a fetal heart monitor (usually the heartbeat is audible after 10-12 weeks of pregnancy).

~ Have an ultrasound performed to verify your due date and check the baby's heartbeat.



Questions to ask the doctor

Here are some examples of questions to ask your obstetrician:

~ Do I need to take any other medications?

~ What medications should I totally avoid?

~ Are all my symptoms normal for this stage of pregnancy?

~ What should I do in case my morning sickness becomes severe?

~ Are there any guidelines regarding weight gain, nutrition and exercise?

~ What activities and foods should I avoid?

~ Do you consider my pregnancy "high-risk"? What does that mean?

~ Can I sleep on my side/stomach?

~ What medicine should I take for flatulence?

~ For what symptoms should I call you?

Dr Anjali Rajurkar, a gynaecologist from Mumbai says, "Most women who come to me are very excited and apprehensive at their first visit. I usually encourage patients to ask me every single question they might have. When it comes to the health of your baby, no question is a dumb question. When in doubt, ask".

Hi everyone! I finally got my doctor's appointment- he is booked until July and I am out of town the first two weeks so my first appointment isn't until July 14th!Chat Icon But at least by then, we will have a heartbeat and be able to see something on the sono.

I am also going to schedule a CVS the first week in August. I had one with my DD and it was so much easier and quicker with the results than an amnio.

Also, what is up with this insomnia! I am so anxious at night and worry about the silliest things. Chat Icon

I check every time I go to the bathroom for bloodChat Icon I can't wait to get passed these next couple of weeks. Actually, I can't wait to just see my babies heartbeat. That will put me at eaze somewhat.

Other then that, I am feeling nothing today. I don't even feel PG. I want m/s soo bad just to let me know everything is ok.

Hey ladies...so glad to hear everyone is doing well...we have a lot to look forward to and some days we will be a biotch and some days we will be sentimental fools...isn't it wonderful..all for our little pumpkinsChat Icon ..today I went back to get more blood work done because my dr said my levels were a little low last week..she said not to worry because I was only 2 minutes pregnant at that time, but just wanted me to get this weeks level to be safe...still have sore boobs and jeans just don't seem to want to close without a fight, and a ofcourse trouble sleeping..other than that can't wait for my first sono on the 23rd! Have a great weekend ladies!!!
