Ok what should I expect at my first ob visit?

And subsequent visits? I've been seeing an RE so I've seen my raspberry 3x so far and heard the heartbeat 2x. My RE said to make sure they don't do the full panel blood test again since I've had all of the genetic tests and other tests run. From what I read I should expect 3 more sonos right the first one which will be 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 20 weeks?

Make sure you get your full RE records sent to your OB before this appt. Then they'll know which blood tests need to get done.

At your 8w appt, you will likely first sit with your dr who will walk through your history, give you info and let you ask questions. You'll have an exam and probably a pap. They will also take blood, urine, blood pressure and do your weight. Since you already saw an RE and had sonos to date your pregnancy, you may or may not have a sono at this appt.

At subsequent appts you'll always have weight, blood pressure and urine done. At 12w you'll have an NT scan and blood work up. At 20w you'll have an anatomy scan. It will depend on your dr and your insurance if you'll have any additional scans.

Depending on your health and the baby's health, your other appts could just be listening to the hb on the doppler and having your uterus measured (by measuring your baby). You can ask your OB all this at your first appt.
