A few vital questions, Need help!

14 years ago
Hi, i moved here from London and am married to a norwegian man. I am a us citizen still.
I am also pregnant by 9 weeks. I have a few questions if anyone can help answer them!

How do I change my surname? I cant find info on the US embassy page, nor the norwegian one. Do i have to do this through the US or Norwegian authorities? If so, How?

I have seen my husbands doctor so far to help with the pregnancy..but he is well, less then helpful and right now i am beyond scared and worried about WHAT i should be doing!! I want to have an ultrasound, to make sure everything is OK in there since i have a history of ovarian problems/other health problems. I have voiced these concerns and asked him, but he said "oh you have to wait until your 18 weeks." 18 WEEKS?!? wtf? Can anyone guide me as to HOW i can receive PROPER prenatal care in this country? I know Norwegians are laid back, but this is ridiculous.
no one is helpful and everyone seems confused.

Thanks for any help you can offer! I am sick of going in circles with people that are clearly incompetent.
