Maybe it's just me?

Question

So I'm 12 weeks 4 days.  I just had my 2nd appointment and literally all the doctor did was let us listen to the heartbeat (which was amazing!!!) Then asked if I had any more questions and left us.  No urine sample for protein. No checking my stomach to make sure my uterus felt right.  No measuring. In my 1st appt I didn't do a pap since i had one a few months ago but at my 1st prenatal they didn't check my breasts or anything.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this kind of experience?  Maybe I'm just over thinking.  But this is my 4th baby and I don't remember it being like this with my last 3.

Answer

This is my second & this doctor does urine sample at every visit . I had my blood work and Pap smear done . I’m 10 weeks today

Answer

Here in the UK I've not even seen a midwife yet! And I think I'm around 11 weeks. My first appt is on the 28th and first scan is on the 5th of March. Dying to know if everything is ok! It's my second so I'm not so stressed!

Answer

I give a urine sample at each visit, but haven't had any blood work or a pap yet. I'm supposed to get blood work done at my 12w appt.

Answer

I get bloodwork, urine sample, and ultrasound at every appointment. I’m in Germany though..

Answer

My ob takes urine at every appointment...

Answer

All of my kids have been pretty much the same, pap and bloodwork and urine at the first or second visit with an ultrasound at the first visit as well 🤷🏼‍♀️ maybe it’s all depending on your location, I thought it was prettt standard to do an initial work up by twelve weeks.

Answer

I got a pap at my first appt, no breast exam and a script for my dating ultrasound, I just had my second appt at 10w6d and the just did a urine dipstick and listened to the baby.....I don't think they felt for uterine placement until my 3rd or 4th appt because it's still so low now

Answer

I think that’s pretty standard. I know most hospitals do a urine sample every visit but I never did with my first. And every appointment all it was, was checking vitals, listen to heartbeat. And as I got bigger checking fundal height. And then going over results of tests I’d have but at 12 weeks you don’t really have a ton of tests yet.
