If you've already gotten test results and stuff..Hmmm probably will just go over what to expect from the level II sonogram..take blood pressure and assess babies heart rate..that's probably about it.

Re: 18 Week Appt??
From what I have seen here, everyone has different experiences depending on the doctor. At 18 weeks I was sent for all my blood work - my doctor doesn't do it in the beginning. Also, since I had a previous (recent) m/c, she never did any internal exams, so each visit was "talking" along with weight, BP & urine sample. She also discussed the results of the nuchal translucency sono. Good luck!

Re: 18 Week Appt??
Just got back....everything went well. I got to hear the heartbeat again, which is still amazing everytime that you hear it! I love that sound!!! And they went over the results of the blood tests they took last time...the results for Downs and Trisomeny (sp). Both were very low and I was told not to worry about them! They took more blood today for the spina bifida test and took measurements of my belly.
I go next week for a sonogram and was told they would tell me if it was a boy or girl...but we aren't finding out!!! I can't wait to see the little one again!!!

Re: 18 Week Appt??
I had a sonogram at mine, but my doctor gives lots of sonograms so I'm not sure if it's something they usually do or not.
