Dear friends;
well i had my first appt. and it was sort of anti climatic. I am 8 weeks 2 days.
no ultrasound; urine, got weighed pelvic exam and pam smear. i don't go for ultra sound till december 12.
did any one get the bun test?

Some offices are kind of anti climatic. I think those of us who are used to the infertility clinics also get used to much more feedback and tests than the regular ob office provides so it feels weird.
Did they keep your due date the same or did it change?
What is the bun test???

No ultrasound? What is a bun test? I am glad through that you went, was this your "intake appt" with the Dr. or a nurse? I know that the way my Dr. does it is that you have your 1st INTAKE appt with the nurse without U/S and than you go back to see the Dr. at 10-12 weeks...

Are you done with your fertility Dr.? I "graduated" from mine last Friday, I was so sad to leave his office. :)

no u/s? I think julie is probably right. we are so used to being given so much info. I really felt that i was an active participant with all the fertility treatment.

Ladies - since most first appointments with the OB happen within the 1st week of being released they don't do any u/s it is pretty routine...They get your info, you see the doctor they give you a pap smear and test your urine and then they talk a little to you and out the door you go...We are all so used to and get spoiled by the throughness at the fertlity center we get kind of lost in the "normal" shuffle once transferring to an OB...Like I said this wait in between appointments is worse then the 2 week wait....All will be fine...

yea we have been spoiled. my obgyn is 5 months pregnant and she is big as a minute. i asked why she is half the size of me and i am only 2months pregnant hehe. Anyways she is very nice. i go back on dec 12. for the bun test . the bun test is to check measuremnt for downs syndrome. I am so tired all the time and my boobs are huge.

My OB calls that test the first trimester screening...It measures for down syndrome, trisomy 13 and trisomy 18...It is pretty neat that they can lok for all that on such a tiny baby...The test is done between weeks 11 and 13...

I was tired most of the time during the 1st trimester...My boobs have not really changed much...Are you having any morning sickness?....Talk to you later.
