Answer 1

For me, I had to pee in a cup, get bloodwork done, get a check down there, and an ultrasound. That was it.

Answer 2

They mainly do a scan at 12 wks to check for development and make sure the due date is right. Scans usually take about 10 - 20 min. (depending on the doc). Sorry, but they can't tell the s*x yet.

Answer 3

At my first appt. at 12 weeks they checked my urine, took a bunch of blood for some tests and done the well women exam. Since I dont have my scan until 19 weeks they also listened to the heartbeat :)
