58 Comments. 1  I always find this topic amusing â coming from the UK â as we use grams and kilograms for food and similar measurements, so we use a âtrue weightâ. My parents are of the âpounds and ouncesâ generation and counting things in 12s is just weird now in the uk!
Here are a few things you may expect in your 1st prenatal visit: 1  Your gynecologist will help you understand the process especially if you are a first-time mom. 2  It is important that from the very first visit you feel free to ask your doctor about any query or concern you have.
Check you out and run some tests. Some healthcare providers will do an ultrasound at your first prenatal visit. But if you don't have any medical problems or concerns, it may not be part of the routine. You may also request a screening to see if you have antibodies to cytomegalovirus (CMV).
