My doctor sees me every 4 weeks...I had my first appointment and u/s at 6 weeks. What do they do at the follow up appointments? Will they do an u/s every month?
They will test ur urine and listen to the heartbeat I think they only do 1 or 2 us but no more than that if baby and everything else is ok. They will do a pap early on to mid way then check you later on to see how ur cervix is......
they're mainly going to be looking for protein and glucose in your urine, and checking your blood pressure; I think :-) also checking the height of your fundus (measuring where your uterus is)
the girls above are correct too--a pap smear, checking your cervix
my OB performs only 2 ultrasounds but I'll still be seeing her once a month at first for all the stuff above. And I am very low risk.
My doctor I had for my other 2 kids never did the urine checks. So when I went to my new doctor for the first time I told her m.a. I had to pee and she's like oh good. I was like why are you getting so excited about me needing to pee for.
