You knew the answer: Yes, a good idea - a 'healthy' base-line exam. You can find a wonderful young woman OBGYN (ask!) and if you mention that this is your 1st and you're a bit nervous - I'll bet they treat you carefully. Having a record of your self when all is well can make it really easy to detect even early signs of any problem in the future. It's very smart of you to think of it. Relax - select a good one!
