First appointment. Anything to be prepared for?

Question

My first ever OB appointment is tomorrow! I'm already super nervous and afraid. I have severe anxiety and it definitely keeps impacting the pregnancy. I keep worrying myself sick that the baby stopped growing or something will be seriously wrong. Is there a way I can address this with my OB without sounding like a paranoid psycho? Because that's what I feel like. Also, what should I expect tomorrow? I'm 9 weeks and 1 day. My fiancee AND my mother are going. Will they both be allowed in the room? If not, who do I pick to stay? Is there anything I should kick them both out of the room for?

Answer

Tell your Dr how you’re feeling. You will not be the first!!
If only one can him you it really should be the babies’ daddy. Your mom had her turn when she had her own kids.

Answer

You should just be honest with your doctor about your anxiety and that you feel it’s affecting you. There’s no shame in that and they won’t judge you. You can typically bring in whoever you want but if I had to choose I’d choose baby daddy.

Answer

I was always super worried that something was going to be wrong too, but that’s pretty common especially for your first pregnancy. 
My 9 week appointment was just my midwife talking about what options I have and what I may start to be feeling (as in symptoms) they weighed me, checked my height, blood pressure ect it was pretty casual.

Answer

be prepared for a papsmear that's for sure so I doubt u will be allowed anyone with u unless they do an ultrasound but that depends on ur doctor good luck

Answer

Tell the dr how you feel. Don’t hold back. It only helps you to tell the truth, lying to Drs doesn’t help anything at all. It prevents them from treating you completely.
