16 Week Appt
What do they do for this appt? Because of my history, my perinatologist is seeing me for my 16 week appt next week. Do they do something different? Special sono? I was just at my OB last week and he did just weight, blood pressure, urine and listened to the HB. How is next week going to be different?

Re: 16 Week Appt
I had a sono for my 16 week appt. I know alot of drs offices dont offer a sono. I also learned the sex of my baby at this appt (was later confirmed at my level 2). Also had my afp blood test done at this appt, as well as the usual blood pressure, weight and heartbeat.

Re: 16 Week Appt
At my 16 week appt (which was just on Monday, technically at 17 weeks but I had to reschedule from last week bc of my dad's wake) they did my weight, blood pressure, listened to the baby's heartbeat and also took blood to do the quad screening. I think quad screen and AFP are very similar, but quad screen tests for 4 things and AFP tests for 3 things. My doc chose to do the quad.
