What happens at the 2nd doc visit?

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all feeling well! I was wondering what happens at every doctor apointment? I went for my first Dr. apt at 5 weeks 3 days and had an ultrasound that day and also on 7w3d. What do they do everytime you see the dr. after that? Weight, blood pressure and talk? Just wondering.

Thanks!

Yep, urine sample-to check for protein, weight, blood pressure and doppler to hear baby's heartbeat. Then they answer any questions you may have. At some point in the 2nd trimester they begin measuring your abdomen for growth. The appointments are pretty quick esp in the beginning

At my office we go in. Then we get weighed, BP check and pee on a strip (testing fr protein, sugar and other things in your urine). Talk about the strip if there is an issue. If not it goes in the trash and we are taken to our room. 

If you are far alone enough (usually about 10 weeks or more) they try to find the heartbeat with the handheld doppler. Before then though they just ask you how you are feeling, questions, concerns etc. They measure your belly and you are on your way. If you don't get an ultrasound the appointments are really quick. Like 20 minutes tops.

very quick; urine sample, blood pressure. doctors gives you scripts, talks to you about blood results or whatever your concerns are. My 12 week and 16 week check up i heard the baby's heartbeat.
