What are your non-ultrasound appointments like?  What do they do (nurse and dr). 

Mine are really quick and was just curious.

mine are quick and boring--the weigh me and my ginormous stomach, take a urine sample, check my blood pressure, measure my belly and check the baby's heartbeat.

Weigh, measure belly, doppler, answer any questions I have. I don't remember my midwife appts ever being quick, though.  I always had questions and they were great about taking their time answering them.  So far that seems to be the case with this practice too.

Thanks Aly - thats what mine are like except I haven't had my belly measured yet but they do feel around my abdomen. 

Does the Dr. or nurse tell you what you should do by the next appt - like interview peds., sign up for classes etc.?

NP!  She hasn't, other than letting me know when to schedule my next appt.  They do answer any questions if I have them. I imagine the doctor should be doing that soon, especially since my appts will become more frequent.
