first prenatal appointment

I am approximately 8 weeks. My first prenatal
appointment is next Thursday.
i am just curious of what to expect at this
visit. and I'm also wondering if pubic or anal
hair is an issue during exams? and do the
doctors honestly not care either way... hair or not.

lol they don't care. I forgot to shave at my first appointment, so I made the statement "Sorry it's so grizzly" and she was like "oh honey, I've seen far worse". so don't worry about having hair down there unless YOU want it gone for your own personal reasons.

Mine entailed paperwork (tons), blood work, pelvic exam, breast exam, urine test, and just alot of Q&A.

No, they don't care. They see it and far worse daily. Usually at the first appointment you have a family history, blood work, pap (sometimes a breast exam) urine test and give you various lists and set up future exams.
