My friend just got pregnant and her first appointment with her Obstetrician is 2 months from now.  She will be 4 months pregnant by then and this is her first visit.  I heard the first 3 months is the most important.  Her Obstetrician is the same one, the lady who speaks Chinese and works in Women's hospital.

The family doctor of your friend should send her to the first ultrasound appointment around the 7th week, this is to ensure the heartbeat of the fetus and the overall condition of the developing uterus.

Do you mind a male OB?  Have you heard of Dr. Henry Woo?  http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/131254/BC/Vancouver/Woo

He knows his stuff and has been delivering babies over 10 years.  He delivered most of my friend's children, oldest is over 10 now, and one recently last year.  He even delivered my family doctor's children!  On the flip side, he's a very busy man (he teaches at UBC as well), and wait times could be long.

I am 16 weeks now, and i won't be able to see my OB until August, which is almost my 6 months... I know there is a site that people left comments of the OB / doctors, so you can always check on that site.  I'm gonna delivery my baby in Richmond hospital and my OB is Dr. Laura Heslip.

My Dr told me that I need to decide where to deliver my baby next time when I see her around July 15th. My family Doc delivered my first baby in Richmond hospital, she's really really good. I need to see her once a month the first couple of months during my pregnancy, and once a week the final month, also 2-3 ultrasound.  

Dr said my placenta is low, so that I need to go to ultrasound on week 30 and 36 to make sure.  That's my biggest concern now, because I think it's better to go to Women's Hospital if (touch wood) I need c-section.  I have no idea if Richmond hospital has the good equipments stuff like that. :<

Really?  Ultrasound in the 7th week already?  Her family doctor did nothing, just refer her to the OB, which she waits until Aug.
