Well first off, congrats!!!
Unfortunately most people do not learn the gender of their baby until weeks 15-20. Sometimes there are rare exceptions, (Boys sometimes show a bit early!) however most people learn at their 20 full anatomy scan.
On your first appointment, you will have a pap smear- they may also examine your breasts to check for cysts as the estrogen during pregnancy *could cause these to grow at a much faster rate. They may also take some blood to get a complete blood count and test for recent infections. You will be asked to pee in a cup for them so they can check your protein and sugar levels to make sure that everything is normal. (Pregnancy can sometimes cause your body to do some crazy things!) They will also check your weight and height.
Again, congrats on your pregnancy and I hope these next few weeks zoom by for you!

Congratulations... babies are so much fun. You'll have to wait awhile, probably between 16-20 weeks gestation, but it's worth the wait. The first appointment will be a long one. They may do an ultrasound but it will be to make sure that everything looks good, the baby hasn't developed much yet, but it's still amazing to see. You've got so much to look forward to, enjoy every minute!

You do not even need an appointment such as this ! Ultrasounds the thing the doctors push on everybody. Nobody needs that. New scientific evidence shows the device harms your fetus with sonar waves is what they end up doing ! No healthy woman needs to go so early at 8 weeks to check anything !

I am nine weeks and I just had my first appt. They check your weight ask you a bunch of ?'s about your family's medical history and things like that they do a paps smear, check your uterus,do a breast exam, and you will probley have to get blood work done. It takes a while. You will probley be able to tell the gender of the baby at about 5 months congrats on the new baby
