Ob apointments

in August 2013 Moms
I know this is kind of dumb, but just curious what kind of things you discuss with your OB? Our office has you cycle through 4 different OB's that could be on call the night we deliver to meet them all. With our last we got all our results back and I always had to specifically ask anything I was curious about. She would say everything looks good but not expound on babies size, weight due date, etc. Is this normal?

    I see one OB and I feel the same way. My appointments are like 5 minutes in and out! I am grateful there is nothing of concern to discuss, but I wish doc would share everything with me.

    That's a big part of why I went with a midwife. She has explained absolutely everything to me and made sure I understood everything. My appointments take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on how many questions I have and what she has to explai

    They don't really measure anything at my appts, I just go in, pee in a cup, get weighed, wait around and eat candy I keep in my purse for a few minutes, they come in and ask how I'm feeling, I lay back and they find the heartbeat, listen and count for

    I usually ask any questions I have. I have had quite a few complications this go round so there is usually discussion. If not for that I'd probably be in and out because I just know what to expect this time.

    I cycle through doctors and midwives because its a huge practice. When I get a doctor appointment, its quick and noninformative but when I have a midwife appointment, they explain how and why with everything they do. They also ask about symptoms and quest

    Even bought this is my second pregnancy, I've still had plenty of questions each time. My OB group cycles you through 3 OBs and takes measurements each time. They always ask if we have questions, which is your opportunity to say or ask what's on your mind

    My obs sit down and ask if I have any questions and go over anything that needs to be reviewed.  I'm at a practice over 4 obs.

    My typical visits last about 10 minutes. Pee in cup, BP, weight, how am I feeling, measurements, any pain, go over any concerns and listen to hb. Then she asks if I have any questions.

    My appts have always been fast. I prefer it that way. I'

    My ob is amazing. We spend at least 10 minutes talking about whatever. I've decided that she's a special breed

    With my first pregnancy, my appointments took a little more time to go over everything, but with the second and third, it's in and out and I like it that way. If I don't have any specific concerns, then there really is no reason for them to talk about any
