What questions did you have for Dr...

ChenoaF · May 2011

I have my first appointment tomorrow afternoon and I have a few questions but I was wondering if any had any good questions that I might not be thinking of. What did you ask your Dr. at your first appointment?

Nervous and excited!

I haven't been yet, but a lot of my questions have to do with their policies on how long after a woman's due date they will let her go before induction, how they feel about exercising while pregnant (specifically weight lifting), Their rate of c-sections, and how long they will let me labor before trying to get me to have a c-section.

I wish I would have asked about c-sections! I asked about exercise (explained my routine), traveling, job related exposures ( I am currently doing clinical's in a rehabilitation unit), If I could continue my OTC probiotics. Many of the questions that the PP with the list posted were addressed by my doctor so I didnt even have to ask.

I'm glad you asked this because my appointment is on Thursday and feel like I don't know what to ask about.

What did your OB say about the OTC probiotics?
