Abdominal distention from gas and bloating and the growing uterus feel different; the uterus is firmer. By the end of 9 months, the uterus has grown enough to crowd the stomach and the intestines, often causing heartburn and gas and making it difficult to eat a lot at one time.
usually the first Dr appointment is 3 days after for a weight check. Then you need to schedule one for two weeks after birth so they can run a PKU. (they give this card info to you in the hospital) Then you don't have to go back for anymore appointments till your baby's 2 month shots.
The First Appointment. After choosing a doctor, make your first appointment. This visit is a time for you to get to know the doctor and for the doctor to get to know you. You will probably be asked to fill out a new-patient form. To help you, bring a list of your past medical problems and all the medicines you take.
