Your first appointment with your provider will be scheduled around 8-10 weeks gestation. At this visit, your provider will review your history, perform a physical exam and either listen to baby’s heartbeat or do an ultrasound. Your provider will discuss pregnancy plans and answer your questions. Labs are often drawn at this time. This is a great appointment to bring a significant other if you choose.

If you choose to find out baby’s gender this can be done at the ultrasound that is ordered at approximately 20 weeks. You can also learn gender if you choose the optional Panorama genetic test at approximately 10 weeks.
