My first Appt I got a PAP and tested for std's required by the hospital. Pretty much a physical exam and some blood. They might try a heartbeat but that depends on how far along you are.

at my first doc appt for both pregnancys we just talked and checked blood pressure... normally at 10 weeks they get into PAP tests and stuff.

they also check you over as if it were a normal check up... they check your mouth, and your teeth ,if you need dental work done they strongly suggest you get it done,, they check your ears and eyes.

At my first visit I really wasn't going on to have a prenatal appointment, I was actually going in to have my OBGYN check my chart. So when I got there my doctor looked at my chart and then sent me to the lab to verifiy that indeed my HPT was correct and I was indeed pregnant, which of course I was. And they also wanted to check my progestoren.

At my first appointment for the soul purpose of my pregnancy I didn't have to have a pap test or an exam since I already had one three months prior. He did however check to make sure that my uterus had started to grow. They checked my weight and my blood pressure. Then before I left I was sent to the lab to have blood drawn for the HIV/AIDS test, RH tests and at this time they also typed me.

Although Paps are not comfortable they are not painful. They actually go very quick. I myself am not a needle person either. I just close my eyes and think of something else or I look up towards the ceiling.

people make paps sound painful like when i was in school the nurse would show us what they use and that metal thing does not look all that great lol. but i guess if i had sex it wont be as bad for if someone whos never had it.

It shouldn't be painful if it's done right. You'll feel some pressure but that is about all you should feel. If it hurts makes sure to say something.
