Well at my first appointment I asked:

When the risk of misscarrige decreases

If there was anything he could give me for nausea

What week could we know the sex

What over the counter medicine could I take

Did I need to take folic acid

When the first ultrasound would be

I asked alot of things though, I can't remember everything. It's strange I was so excited to be there I forgot half the questions I had been dying to ask him. You might wanna make a list and take it with you. I think that's what I'm gonna do this time. Congrats on the pregnancy! Very Happy

It might be a good idea to get some books from the library about pregnancy. I loved reading about my baby! Smile

You can ask for your pregnancy how far along you are able to excercise for.
what are positives and negatives to look for in your pregnancy.
what are signs of worry or concern.
what you can do for morning sickness.
prevention of strechmarks.
what is a healthy weight gain and an over gain.
How many ultrasounds you will have.
If you will have the same doctor through out.
etc.

It's really not as bad as you think, yeah it hurts i'm not going to lie to you. i had the plan of going drug free but thanks to my complications i had pamergen and then because i was hyper sensitive to the pain relief it actually did the oposite and made the pain worse so in a way i went pain relieft free because it didn't work!
