Things they did for both of my pregnancies were urine tests, blood pressure, weight, and my doctor, I don't know about any one else's, but he does a pap smear the first appt if you are due for one. He's very careful with it. I was due for one in March so I know that if/when I become pregnant, that he'll be doing that the first thing.

We had to schedule an ultrasound to determine actual due date when I didn't know my LMP. He did check me and pressed down on my lower stomach and up with his other hand inside to get a quick estimate by hand about how big my uterus felt. Which isn't always accurate. The last time I was there when I was pregnant he estimated my uterus to be around 6 weeks but I was 9 weeks along. Don't be nervous. It really is a piece of cake.

Its usually between 6-12 weeks pregnant. They do a pregnancy urine test, protein (urine) test, ultrasound;to give you due date and make sure the fetus is growing good.

Urine test , draw blood,  get your weight. And check your blood pressure. Some may give you an ultrasound but my first appointment they didn't.  Whens your first appointment?

I got an ultrasound done with all 3 of my pregnancies so they could see how far along I was.
