Hi NY Bride!
I think you and I wrote a few weeks ago and you said that you see Dr. Simonson. I have my first appointment at 9 weeks on Wednesday! I feel like I have waited forever, and I'm really looking forward to it. What should I expect that he'll do? Does he do a sonogram, and if so, is it from outside of the belly, or through the private area?
I hope you are feeling well. I feel like time is flying in a way.

hi!! you're going to love him! i see him tomorrow after our big ultrasound!
first appointment:
when i got there: i gave them a urine sample. the nurses took my blood pressure, weighed me.
when we were called in: he was extremely nice and easy to talk too. he asked me a bunch of questions about my family history, and information about me and my husband. that took about 20 minutes. then he did a sonogram of our LO and it looked like a little bean! He printed out about 6 pictures. We were so excited we left with pictures. After a 10 minute sonogram he did an internal exam. It didn't hurt at all. He did a pap smear. Gave me the paperwork for the finger prick test. Also, gave me a referral for my 1st trimester screening. After the exam, I gave a lot of blood. We were there for about an hour.
He told me not to any processed food (i failed at that lol). We asked us to schedule appointments with him every 4 weeks. HOWEVER, the next appointment you have will be with Dr. Ballard. She is amazing as well. They like you to rotate every other appointment so you get to know both doctors.
Good Luck!!!!!! Let me know what you think!
