1st Prenatal Appointment

Nothing much to say about this appointment except it was exactly what I expected.  The first appointment is just the fill out the questionnaire, pee in a cup, donate half your blood to testing, and talk to a "prenatal intake nurse" for 30 minutes discussing your next appointments, your concerns, genetic screening, and of course your EDD (estimated due date).  They did assign me a new doctor - a family doctor, but she says she does prenatal and labor and delivery.  So technically she is not an OB.  I told her that I had some complications with my last pregnancy, and she just said, "Well, if they start to repeat themselves we will get you a specialist."  hmm... ok well ok.  What do you say?  The nice thing was that she was really eager today to please me so I got the beta hcg blood test I wanted, even though she said it wasn't necessary, and an ultrasound a week from today, then a week after that, then two weeks after that.  So I should be sitting pretty as far as ultrasounds go.  One more week and I should have some much better and more interesting news and maybe even a picture!  :)
