Yes, a question about pee

My previous doctor's office, before I moved overseas, took a sample at each visit.  Here they only took one at my very first visit.  I actually asked about it at yesterday's appointment and was told that it was unnecessary.  In my opinion I was receiving MUCH better care at the first office.

@AKPuffin - Can I ask if you're being treated by a military hospital or by a German one? I had DD in Germany at a German hospital and they were very thorough. Just curious...

I did at every appt when I was pregnant with DD1. This time around I did at the first appt and then was told I wouldn't need to any more... Same clinic, same midwives. I thought it was weird!

I'm definitely in the minority--I peed in a cup the first round of labs that they did back in July, and haven't had to ever since.

Every time for me also, I see a midwife.

They check mine every single time.

@teaforthree  I'm being seen at the military hospital.  The doctors have all been great, but I was being seen at a civilian doctor before we moved and I really miss having the same nurse at every visit.  The tech that handled my intake on Wednesday was super unprofessional and clueless.  I have GD, which she knew, and she offered me a piece of candy.  I had to do an internal eye roll and face palm.

I give a urine sample at every visit. It's how they monitor for protein and symptoms of gd

This is my third LO, some practice, same doctor and midwife. With the first two I peed every appt, this one I haven't peed in a cup at all.

BTW Hi Labor Buddy!!! Hope your UTI goes away quickly!!!

Me too!! Especially since we're just getting out of the cold, I'd prefer to not have to pee MORE than I already do
