First appointment tomorrow♥️

I have my first appointment tomorrow and I am an absolute bundle of nerves. I'm so excited for baby but the nerves are just eating me up! With that being said, is there any questions that would be good to ask at the first appointment? I'm a ftm and we haven't announced to our family just yet because we want to make sure baby is good so im just googling everything and trying to learn as much as i can♥️ tyia!

Definitely ask for the NIPT test

Here is what I asked: - if I would ever see other doctors or just who I was with - which hospital I’d deliver at, does it have a NICU and which level NICU - what’s considered something “concerning” I should call about and who to call - i checked that she liked my prenatal vitamins - checked that she approved of my exercise routine - medications that are safe for nausea, pain/headaches/etc. (mine gave me a paper with common symptoms and remedies) - how much weight I should safely gain - future appointment schedule and what to expect at each - pain in my lower belly (I learned this is round ligament pain and totally normal - phew) This appointment was so fun, I was so scared something would be wrong but in hindsight I wish I tried to relax and enjoy it more bc it was so fun and intimate to see our baby and feel validated that I am pregnant. GOOD LUCK 💕

My first appointment is tommorow too ❤️

Mine is next week and I am also nervous! Good luck! Let us know how it goes 🙌🏻

Definitely ask about things that are safe to eat ! My doctor gave me a packet & it included things that are safe to eat & drink. If I really want something that isn’t listed I just message her through the MyChart app.
