Active User, very eHealthy

At your first appointment they'll get your height, weight, blood pressure, they'll make you pee in a cup, and you'll also get a blood draw. Then they'll go over prenatal vitamins, what to expect during the pregnancy, answer any questions you have, and some doctors will do a vaginal ultrasound to verify the pregnancy. They will also get a complete family medical history from you.
