First and foremost i hope u have started Prenatal vitamins..even if u have not got appointment with the doctor u can ask the nurse to prescribe.
2. if u have had problems (regularly) like acidity/ ab. pains/before let them know.
3. Generally when u first visit the nurse will load u with ques.
4. How much of daily activity u should and should not do? generally here people say u can do almost anything except squat and bend normally valid for all 9 months but indians won't allow u to pick up heavy things or stress urself out.
5. Eat healthy food and don't overeat. currently baby is as small as a seed so eat healthy snacks as fruits/juices and eat little when hungry
6. Get emergency phone numbers.
7. take all the current medicines u are regularly taking if any for any type of ailments.
8. Ask what medicines u can take for normal headache/cold/cough/antacids etc.

I had helped aperson pick a 100 pound package which worried me when i realized i am pregnant but nurse was calm about it.
First appointment i had 1 -1/2 hours of questioning of past history, my history etc.so all ur doubts will be cleared.
just be careful u don't slip in the snow which is not helping me in indiana.
and take care of urself and eat healthy.
Take care.

ritika replied. hi sweta,
I met my doctor the day I missed it. :) She was shocked I came in so early. Infact she asked me to come back after 1 more week so that the test would be right. We just started trying so I was glad that I missed. Well, ask everything to your doc so that you can be comfortable. My important questions were if I can travel because I'm going to India tomorrow and will be there for 3 to 4 weeks.
Other things I asked here were about food, medicines, I have some health problems which I discussed with her.
I also asked her for what complications can occur and her emergency numbers just in case I need her at odd times.
Any fears that you have even subconsiously - ask your doc. Don't hold anything back. You will hear a lot of stories that tell you what to do and what not to do - ask her all those - these will make you comfortable. BTW, where are you located?? Have you spoken to more than doctor so that you can get an early appointment?
More later
