Tomorrow is my first doctor's appointment.  The first time I hear my baby's heartbeat. What should I expect? What goes on during this appointment?

My first appointment the doc asked a bunch of history questions, asked about any symptoms I had, drew blood and listened for the baby. They couldn't find her the first appointment but they said it was normal because she was so small then. It was at my 2nd appointment that I had a transvaginal ultrasound to see baby and my cervix.
