What do they do?

Question

Hi August mommies🌻
Today is my pregnancy confirmation appt. As this is my first pregnancy, what should I expect to have done at this appt? Will I get a ultrasound or will that happen at my next appt? I’m estimating myself to be about 7 weeks☺️

Answer

It's almost like a physical imo. 
They did a breast exam, height, weight, medical history, family medical history, vaginal exam, vaginal ultrasound, bloodwork, urine test, and discussing the tests for next appt. I'm 35 so am considered  "advanced maternal age" (yuck, lol) so these genetic tests are strongly recommended and not covered by insurance.

Answer

I had my confirmation appointment yesterday and I am 6 weeks 4 days. They did a urine test, scheduled me for an ultrasound in 2 weeks and just went over a lot of information with me.

Answer

They’ll do a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm your pregnancy and urine test then talk about tests that you can get

Answer

They did a urine test and answered my questions,  got a brief family medical history and told me what to expect in the next month. No ultrasound for me 😭

Answer

Mine is also today. It’s a physical so vaginal swabs, urine test, ultrasound referral for dating and then for Down syndrome testing at 13 weeks and blood work. Then book next appt for following month.
