Well for me they talked mostly. They want to know your health background (you and your family) if it's your first pregnancy, and things like that. And if you haven't had a pap smear lately they will probably do one of those. It's not as bad as it seems. I know going to my appointments isn't a big deal, but I still dread going. I couldn't tell you why (other than when they start checking to see if you've dialted it hurts! For me anyways) my next appointment is friday, and i'm hoping like crazy I don't have to go. My due date is today!! Good luck at your appointment and i'm sure everything will be fine.

I am about 8 weeks I think.....Do you really think i'll be able to hear my baby? My mom isn't mad anymore but she is still acting kinda funny....My dad is like trying to avoid me :cry: it's really sad because we are really close....I feel like a big goof.

At 9 weeks I went to the er and she couldnt find the heartbeat so they did an ultrasound and saw it but the lady said 8-10 weeks is normal for hearing it so maybe youll get lucky!

Re
You have to pee in a cup but they make you do that at every appointment. They take blood and do a pap smear thing and he'll probably push around on your lower gut to get a measurement of what size your uterus is cause they can see if your mearsuring where your suppose to be. Sorry the bad typing I am really tired and kinda sick
if you dont know the start date of your last period they'll probably do a ultrasound
