So exciting!  Congrats!  For me, I wanted to know if my doctor was ok with having a midwife at the hospital for my birth, I also had some previous gynecological issues I wanted to flag.  Any questions about traveling, your eating habits, anything!  Have fun!

I wanted to discuss different prenatal screening options and get an idea of what the schedule of visits would be like throughout the pregnancy. I also wanted clarification on who I'd be seeing throughout the pregnancy and who would actually be delivering my kid (it's a office of 3 MDs, a nurse-midwife, and a PA, and they like you to rotate among them for your prenatal visits, but only the MDs deliver babies, and they rotate being on call).

I also had questions about exercise, since doctors seem to have varying thoughts on how much to scale back on weights or high-intensity workouts.

I agree with chicagowife that all the do's and don't's of medications, food, activities, etc. are helpful- my doctor gave me lists of things to avoid.

I also asked for suggestions for reading material on pregnancy and childbirth.

I didn't actually ask much about my OB office's philosophy on some labor and delivery topics (like C-sections, episiotomies, pain management) but I probably will at my next visit.

It's great that you're writing things out in advance- I didn't, and there was so much going on that I totally forgot to ask some of my questions and had to call back later.
