First appt.

I had first appt today.   I am 9w 3d.  With my first they did a pelvic exam at the first appt but today they told me they do them now at the 12 week appt.  Is this a new practice?  My cousin had a pelvic exam  at her first appt too so she thought it was strange.   I was able to hear the  baby's heartbeat.  It was 170.   The highest heartbeat my son ever had was 150.

They didn't do one at my first appointment mentioned either. They only took info & scheduled me for blood work & a dating scan. My second appointment isn't until March 3rd.
