is it a 6 week with the nurse or doctor? My first apt at 6 weeks was with the nurse and she just went through my history and family history and did blood work. 8 weeks was with the doc and that was exams and ultrasound!! Congrats

My doctor just looked at my vagina to make sure it was healing and to check to bleeding, he also checked to make sure that my uterus was shrinking like it was supposed to and we talked about how I was feeling physically. We also talked about being cleared for sex and birth control options.

If I remember correctly my doctor did an internal exam to make sure everything was healing ok and also felt around my abdomen to make sure my uterus was going back to its normal size.

I guess it varies from one place to another, but for me, nothing much goes on at the first appointment. The doctor just goes through your health and family history, checks your blood pressure, weight, and fills out the necessary paperwork for blood work and the like. The doctor can also answer any questions you may have regarding your pregnancy.
Good luck!
