I finally get to participate, too! YAY!
Day of Appointment: 7/18. Thank goodness my OB does Saturday appointments!
Weeks+days at appointment: 10w1d. I know its a little late for my first OB appointment, but I've already had 2 u/s with my RE so I figure its ok.
Will you have an ultrasound? Yes! So excited to see Baby P again. It'll be strange, though, not having an u/s at every appointment. Working with an RE for about a year, I've had more u/s than most people will have in a lifetime.
Heading in, what are you thinking? All the questions. I'm going to start compiling my list soon. I do really want to know if my OB will support a med-free birth.
Yay new week! Good luck to all with appointments coming up!
Day of Appointment: Wednesday 7/15
Weeks+days at appointment: 9wks by LMP, 8wks 2days by O date...
Will you have an ultrasound? Nope, just an intake with the nurse.
Heading in, what are you thinking? I'm hoping she will be understanding about my PGAL brain and they will schedule a "quick peek" ultrasound (that's actually what it says on the prescription) between now and my NT scan. But I'm not holding my breath on that one....
Day of Appointment: This morning! I had a quick peek u/s last week, and today was the first prenatal with my OB (and I also got another u/s and pic - can never have enough of those!!
Weeks+days at appointment: 7+2, but the nugget was measuring ahead a few days, just like last time. Little heartbeat flickering away...eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Will you have an ultrasound? Yes, did. Pic below!
Heading out, what are you thinking? Had the genetic testing talk. I know I want it for peace of mind, but now I'm just scared about the cost (and the results). Going back for a quick peek at 10 weeks before we announce to ALL the family, then 12 for the NT scan. Can't come soon enough! Parents are getting the news tonight :-) (Although, DH's parents probably already know since they got a bunch of texts from us today about chromosomal disorders in the family (his cousin and great uncle have the same one, but we didn't know exactly what it was) - and there's not really any other reason we would be asking them about that, you know!)

Day of Appointment: Had it this afternoon!
Weeks+days at appointment: 9 weeks on the nose.
Will you have an ultrasound? Newp. No proof of life (as it were). Disappointing, but not unexpected.
Heading in, what are you thinking? Too late for this, been there done that!
*Update Us! Let us know how it went! Went fine. Just a talk about family history, a pelvic, and some bloodwork. The first nurse messed up taking blood, so that was "fun". I have passed out in the past giving blood, so I'm always nervous to begin with. That did not help. Free soda though, so yay? And by free I mean, not. Medical care is expensive. *sigh*

Day of Appointment: Tomorrow, 7/14
Weeks+days at appointment: 10 weeks, 3 days
Will you have an ultrasound? No, I don't think so.
Heading in, what are you thinking? I graduated from my RE after my 8 week appointment and this will be my first appointment with my OB. It's mostly to talk about NT testing and get a sense if she is a good match for us.
Day of appointment- it was today! 7w3d I had my first ultrasound and we saw and heard a perfect heartbeat! Baby is measuring right on track.
Before the appointment, I was anxious to hear the heartbeat. We talked about pretty much everything, including the plan to monitor me for placenta accreta. I had a retained placenta last birth and lots of problems along with it, so we're looking out for it this time.
Heading in, what are you thinking? Hoping to hear the heartbeat and see the flickering on the u/s. Last week I saw the flickering as well.
Edited for Update: Ultrasound went well today. Baby blob looked a little bit bigger this week. It was easier for me to see the heartbeat flicker on the ultrasound. They checked my estrogen and progesterone level and I can finally lower myself to one pill a day instead of 3 for the estrogen. Yay for baby steps! I go back next week for my 8 week ultrasound.

Day of Appointment: Wednesday 7/15
Weeks+days at appointment: 8+3
Will you have an ultrasound? yes
Heading in, what are you thinking? With my MC, the little bean probably stopped growing somewhere around 8w0d. I am nervous we will discover the same thing has happened. I'm glad they gave me the first appointment again so I don't have to spend all day waiting.

I'm on vacation and mobile, so I can't copy and paste the questions.
My next appointment is Friday morning to check the baby's heartbeat. I requested this appointment to hopefully relieve some anxiety.
I'll be 10w1d at the appointment.
I believe the doctor will be using doppler.
Heading in, I'm just hoping everything is still OK. The baby had a good, strong heartbeat at my 8 week appointment, so hopefully that is still the case. I just still don't really feel pregnant, so that's fucking with my mind.
Heading in, what are you thinking? I was insanely nervous due to my loss in March and the bleeding that I had two weeks ago.
*Update Us! Let us know how it went!
It went great! I'm measuring about 4 days ahead of where my last u/s placed me but we're keeping the original due date of late Feb. we saw the baby and the hb was 168bpm. No signs of issues so far!

Day of Appointment: today!
Weeks+days at appointment: 9 weeks exactly
Will you have an ultrasound? Yes, for dating since we will do the 12 wk NT scan. They will do a tranvaginal, which usually gets great pictures.
Heading in, what are you thinking? First appt so it includes all the basics. I will do bloodwork next time i think. I went to this practice for my daughter so this time just looking forward to the first pictures of baby #2.

I appreciate everybody's reassurances and thoughts yesterday. My appointment this morning went great! HB was 179, and my due date was adjusted to Feb 20. We even got to see the baby wiggling around. Here's a pic:
