1st OB appt!

Well I had my first appointment today. I met my new male doctor,Dr.V. He is actually very personable :)! I was a little worried at first because the nurse had absolutely no personality....here is our conversation: "Shelley?...turn to your left, step on the scale. Did you leave a urine sample?" YES "follow me, sit on table." took my blood pressure "110 over 67, it is fine" "have you had a papsmear recently?" YES, in April, all my records should be in there. "undress below the waist, doctor will be in shortly"....um, hello, nice to meet you too. Dr. V is very nice. He said everything looked great and it seems that things are going well. I talked to him about 1st trimester testing (NT scan)and he thought it was a good idea, he will have a nurse arrange an appointment for next week. Learned something new.....no deli meat!!! no Mr. Goodcents, Subway or sandwiches from the deli counter at the grocery store....guess it can carry a bacteria that can cause m/c. Really too bad because I had 2 Mr. Goodcent sandwiches in the past few weeks...and they were soooooooooooooo good! Dr. V also tried to find the heartbeat via doppler but couldnt find it....not unusual for 11weeks....we will hear it for sure next time!!!!!
Next week we will have NT scan/bloodwork on 6/28 (yeah, another u/s!) and hopefully the results will be good (it is an early screen for downs)
My next OB appt is scheduled for 7/19 (15wks).
