58 Comments. 1  I always find this topic amusing â coming from the UK â as we use grams and kilograms for food and similar measurements, so we use a âtrue weightâ. My parents are of the âpounds and ouncesâ generation and counting things in 12s is just weird now in the uk!
Here are a few things you may expect in your 1st prenatal visit: 1  Your gynecologist will help you understand the process especially if you are a first-time mom. 2  It is important that from the very first visit you feel free to ask your doctor about any query or concern you have.
While you are waiting for your first prenatal appointment, don't hesitate to call your doctor's office with any questions you may have about symptoms or concerns. The office staff, nurses and doctors who deal with pregnant women every day understand your concerns and there is no question they haven't heard. Really.
