Hi,
I am more interested in pregnancy care than the actual birth at the moment as I have found that a little easier to find things out about and it also seems a long way away!
I have seen my family doctor and he has referred me to the Obgyn at our local hospital. I presumed at this first appointment that I would have a scan as my family doctor was insistent that if the appointment was after I should be 12 weeks I should insist on having it between 8&12 weeks. As things happen I will be 9weeks at my appointment tomorrow but in my paperwork that I have just dragged out very little is mentioned and certainly nothing about a scan/full bladder etc. Can anybody tell me whether a scan is likely at this appointment.
This is my 3rd pregnancy & child but my first in Spain. How often am I likely to be seen? When are routine scans given? Are they really as "strict" on weight gain as I have been led to believe?
Any experiences much appreciated - thanks in advance
