Hi


I am 7 weeks pregnant and have my first check up with Dr Robert Dawkins next week. What should I be expecting?


Thanks

You can google this, but from what I remember, weight check, urine dip stick (start checking sugar and protein levels), scan (vaginal u/s) to see heartbeat, measure fetal size/age and estimate due date, and a consult to review how you are/should be caring for yourself, vitamins/folic acid, etc.


The most important and thrilling thing is seeing the baby's heartbeat. Bring hubby along :-)

Thanks - am still pretty nervous about the whole thing but good to hear what to expect. From what I have seen on this forum, seeing the heartbeat is meant to be quite amazing

It's actually an important scan Starbucks...yes, absolutely fabulous to see the heartbeat, but also quite sobering if there isn't one. I've had both.

So far so good. Heartbeat and normal measurement
