Re: What questions should I ask the dr at my first visit?

There are lots of questions you can ask, here are some basics I'd recommend:

When is your due date?
Any foods you should avoid?
Prenatal vitamins?
Questions about exercise?
What hospital are they affiliated with?
How many practitioners in the office and would you see them all throughout the pregnancy or just your doc specifically?
When your first sono will be?
When to expect other tests?
Over-the counter meds to avoid/what's okay?
What to do in the event of an emergency, what number to call, procedure to follow, etc?

Re: What questions should I ask the dr at my first visit?

Also I'd recommend keeping a little notebook with you to jot down any other questions. I had a "pregnancy journal/organizer" and brought it with me to my first visit. You might thikn of more questions that are specific to you and your health history/experiences. For example, I'm a plus-sized mom so I had a lot of questions about that, or if you've been TTC for a while you might have other questions. Keep the notebook handy between now and your first appt so if you think of anything else you can write it down and you won't have to worry about forgetting.

Also ask them how often your visits will be now, and as you progress throughout the pregnancy. Most likely it'll be once a month now, then every other week and then weekly towards the end.

Also ask about thier office hours! That's good to have on hand!! My office has weird hours!
