Re: what exactly goes on at your first
At my first appt. (about a week after my BFP) we went in and the Dr. did a blood test to test for HCG levels (pregnancy hormone). Also, she did a sonogram to see if there was anything there yet (which there wasnt b/c it was too early). She took my "pre-pregnancy weight" and thats about it.
About 3 weeks later I went in again and did a sonogram and surely enough there was a little baby there, lol.

Re: what exactly goes on at your first
they might do a pap smear, depending on whether you due for one
lots of blood tests, I remember vial after vial after vial, I was really dizzy afterward. Bring a snack for afterward 
you pee in a cup and you get and a sonogram to see if anything is going on

Re: what exactly goes on at your first
At my first appointment, they did a urine test, did a sonogram, took our family medical history and then we sat with the Dr. to go over some other stuff. They also gave me a prescription for blood work.

Re: what exactly goes on at your first
They did a pap smear because I was due for one and an internal sonogram to see the baby's heartbeat. We got a sonogram picture and that's what we used to tell our parents.
My doctor does not do bloodwork so he wrote a prescription for me to get that done ASAP at a lab as well as a urine screening.
Doctor sat down with me and DH and talked about what foods I can't eat and the type of activity I should be doing.
