Yes, I thought it was lame also but everyone here says that is normal. In the states someone my age would be considered high risk and they would have already done all sorts of tests.

here they check urine, blood pressure and send off bloods to get a baseline, so further into the pregnancy they have something to go by. | |

Even a non high risk appt would have been more detailed I would have thought especially since they did not have any previous history on me, new in the system and all. | |

Ok.....it is very strange that they aren't doing blood tests, blood pressure, etc. Did they weigh you at least?
The nausea, unfortunately, is something you have to deal with. It's BAD, I know!!! | |

They will do all that at your first scan appt. | |

The nausea, unfortunately, is something you have to deal with. It's BAD, I know!!! Nope. Just asked when my last period was and gave me a packet of paperwork about Immunisations for the baby. Told me the hospital would contact us about the first scan. They sent me a letter telling us the date and time of scan. That is it. 
Yes, I am glad that I am not vomiting. That is a blessing. Just major motion sickness, drunk room spinning feeling, even in my sleep. | |

Exactly - just seems weird to me do you know basically how many weeks you are ? About 9 right now. Had to guess because my period was on time then 7 days later I had two days of heavy bleeding so we are not 100% sure of the exact date of conception. But about 9 weeks now. | |

They take urine, blood samples, swab test for strep B.
The worst lab test is the sugar drink test  They take a few viles of blood before the test and retake after the test.

Yeah, they couldn't figure out my conception date. I had an ultrasound, they measured everything, and set the date to the growth. | |
