The First Visit: What to Expect

Your first appointment is a great opportunity to get to know your provider and start discussing your birth plan. Ask all your questions, address any concerns and, of course, feel free to express your hopes, expectations— and excitement!
Your provider can learn a lot about the health of you and your baby on the first visit. So come prepared with your medical history and any personal information to get a full picture of your health. The more your provider knows, the better. You’ ll receive a physical exam, including a pap smear and a blood test.
Routine Testing We test for the presence of cervical cancer, Rh factor, anemia and infections including: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, rubella and hepatitis B. Testing for HIV is optional but highly recommended by The Centers for Disease Control( CDC) to further ensure your baby’ s health.
