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.
Who to Bring. At Baby's first doctor appointment, it's helpful to bring yourself, your baby, and another primary caregiver, such as Dad. With two people in the office, it will be easier to take care of your little one, remember all of the information from the doctor, and recall what questions to ask.
