Confirm It, Date It, Record It

The first prenatal visit answers three questions in order. Is there a fetus? Only three findings can say yes, and a positive hormone test is not one of them. How far along? Run Naegele’s rule with the arithmetic visible, then decide whether a first-trimester scan overrides it. What has happened before? Build a GTPAL from real pregnancies and watch what twins do to it — parity counts births, not babies.
