6wk DR appt - did you bring LO?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I am due for mine and, since my doc is only available during business hours and this is also when DH works, I trying to figure out if I should find someone to watch DS or if I should bring him with.  It just seems like it would be a little stressful and awkward to have him with me.....

    I brought my LO & she slept the whole time we were in the waiting room. My doc was running 45minutes late so I ended up having to BF her in the exam room, but he was totally ok with it & really enjoyed seeing .  I think most moms have to bring their LO due to BF & also child care issues. If your doc isn't ok with it, I'd say it's time to find another doctor!
    Me: 42, DH: 43. We are so grateful to have a 2yr old daughter, conceived naturally after 3 miscarriages & no treatments (our Dr. gave us 1 more month to try on our own before advacing to IVF, & we conceived her naturally in January 2010)! Trying since April 2011 without sucess....MD said we were both "fine" & that if it wasn't happening, it was a chromosomal issue. Finally started Follistim 225mcg injections with an Ovidrel trigger November 2012. Bleeding 11 days post Ovidrel on November 25th. Starting the whole lab/Ultrasound/Follistim cycle again on November 27th...

    Or nine months, I stared at signs everywhere in my doc's office saying "do not bring children with you" so I didn't bring her. The nurse asked me, "Why didn't you bring her?" I pointed to the signs. "She said, Oh, we mean TODDLERS."

    Live and learn. Apparently I was supposed to bring her.

    I didn't, but only because DH was home, and I live 5 mins from the office.  I was only gone 25 mins total.

    I didn't, but my DS screamed and barely slept until he was 7 weeks old. I just left him with my DH.

    I did. I think most OBs are in it for the bubs really. What would they do if none of us brought in the payoff? 

    DD was pretty unsettled. I had my physical exam holding her on my chest the whole time. Then the Dr took her so I could get up!

    with #1, yes I did.  She was a great baby and slept the whole time. Staff and OB were thrilled to see her.  If she did wake, she was a happy little bug.

    #2, no way. She hates the car seat, so screams the entire time and needs to be held when she is awake.  There's no way I would've been able to be examined. LOL

    My OB saw me 1 week PP and I am going back today 4 weeks PP (I had BP issues) but took LO with me and the nurses and other staff go crazy over her. I love these ladies and wouldn't miss the chance of showing them how DD is thriving. I mea thanks to them and all of their support we made it to 39 weeks and didn't have a premi.

    I did. I had to bf him while we waited and he laid on my belly while the Dr. checked me out. Weird. He loves when his patients bring the babies in though.

    I did...and it was a disaster....he woke up just before my dr came in and started having a meltdown...and I ended up in the stirrups and having granulation tissue taken care of while he was screaming on my chest....awesome....then I had to try to carry him out when we were done...needless to say, I either left him with my mom or had her come with me when I had to go back for additional treatments.

    I will be bringing DS, as he and I see the same family practitioner. My pp is at the same time as his 2mo checkup. Very convenient.

    Thanks for all your input!  Sounds like it is stadard practice to bring LO.. since he's usually a pretty mellow baby, I'll plan to bring him.  This makes scheduling my appt much easier!!
