First OB visit, bloodwork & what to expect
I had my first u/s this week, but I go back on friday for my first real OB visit. What should I expect? I'm assuming an internal exam, PAP, u/s #2 and some bloodwork. My doctor told me it's quite a few vials of blood. Anyone know how much and what they are testing for? Are my expectations correct? Am I missing anything?
Thanks!!

I was sent for blood work, had an internal sono and that's it. I didnt have a pap - I had just had one a couple of months before.

If its your first child, I remember them taking down a lot of family history information. I also had about 5 vials of blood taken, then I had an internal sono which the doc used to date the pregnancy (since I didn't have a LMP that I could remember). Of course, you'll also pee in a cup, have your BP take and be weighed

They also take an HIV test, and some other std tests. With the internal they also take a few diferent cultures from you. It was a long visit.
