8 weeks - Question about Blood Work

I went in for my first appointment with my OB and had my first ultrasound. Everything looked great and baby’s heart is beating at 132 bpm. My question is this: I had to get 9 vials of blood drawn! Is this normal? Anyone know why they would have to draw so much blood? This is my first pregnancy.
