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.
Prenatal care: Other first trimester visits. Subsequent prenatal visits â often scheduled about every four weeks during the first trimester â will probably be shorter than the first. Your health care provider will check your weight and blood pressure, and you'll discuss any concerns. Near the end of the first trimester â by about nine to 12 weeks of pregnancy â you might be able to hear your baby's heartbeat with a small device that bounces sound waves off your baby's heart (Doppler). Remember, your health care provider is there to support you throughout your pregnancy. Your prenatal appointments are an ideal time to discuss any questions or concerns â including things that might be uncomfortable or embarrassing. Also find out how to reach your health care provider between appointments.
