First OB appt:)

I went in this morning for my first appointment and annual checkup. Aside from having nowhere to park and waiting 20 extra minutes to get into the exam room, it all went well. They did another HPT, which of course came up positive. Then they did an exam, gave me some samples, and listed all the tests I'll need in the next couple of months. The doctor told me everything looks and feels right on target, so they weren't going to recommend an ultrasound right now. Apparently they won't do an ultrasound until the 2nd trimester unless there appears to be some sort of problem or we want to screen for down syndrome, trisomy 18, or a neural tube defect. The screen test for those three things is done along with an ultrasound for measurements. Which means if we don't do that screening, we'll have to wait for the 2nd trimester to hear the heartbeat or see anything at all. She wants to see me again in 4 weeks for a follow up, so I go back on June 13th. She also gave me a lab slip, so I went down and had SIX vials of blood drawn to check for things like hGC levels, toxoplasmosis exposure, and some other things. I should hear back about those tests by the end of the week. I also got the OK to do some yoga and elliptical for exercise as long as I start of slow since I wasn't working out regularly before. So I got a prenatal yoga DVD and looked up how to measure heart rate:P

Everything is looking good so far!
