She said, "You look great! I love your outfit, so cute on you!" It made me feel special :) Whether she does it to me or everyone, I don't care! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-924066 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 18:07:06 +0000 Cherrybee 924066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not! My OB is strictly business, she rarely even comes in the room (she sends her minions). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923924 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:39:09 +0000 cavalierkcs 923924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My OB's nurse is SO complimentary. She compliments everyone and gives everyone a hug when they leave - including the SOs! I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923887 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:25:20 +0000 Grace 923887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol - that's fun. Closest I've gotten was "your body seems to be tolerating pregnancy quite well". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923856 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 17:13:25 +0000 Dandelion 923856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my midwife knew how to butter me up. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923807 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:53:04 +0000 GrapeCrush 923807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes the nurse will, she's complimented my outfit(which is craziness because i have no fashion sense!) a couple times and my shoes once. but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923786 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 16:47:14 +0000 LovelyPlum 923786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not compliments, per se, but my doc and the nurses are both big in the art of distraction. At one.of my follow ups, I was reading a book in the waiting room, and we had a good.two minute conversation about the book to keep me from freaking out about why I was there. I appreciated that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923563 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:52:13 +0000 MrsH 923563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After weighing me once the nurse said "wow, you don't look like you weigh that much." Uh, I guess that is a compliment right?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-923041 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:17:37 +0000 chopsuey 923041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They mentioned my legs once, but I wasnt a cute/pretty pregnant lady so no compliments! :)<br /> My ob and his staff were always nice and polite though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922988 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:07:35 +0000 DillonLion 922988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Yeah my OB/NP would always look at them and be like "Oh honey, that looks uncomfortable" Then they would make dents in them with their fingers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922986 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:07:17 +0000 Turd Ferguson 922986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've ever been complimented at my appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922981 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:06:56 +0000 heffalump 922981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually it's strictly business. My OB does make some small talk about my family though- my mom and SIL go to her so she'll ask about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922974 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:05:31 +0000 lawbee11 922974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They certainly don't compliment my ankles these days because I now have Shrek feet.</p> <p>The nurse usually compliments my belly size and how good my blood pressure is...I'll take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922948 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:01:00 +0000 Foodnerd81 922948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My office doesn't really say anything to me either other than things like measuring exactly on track. But I do agree that ankle compliments are serious business! It's amazing how much it matters to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922932 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:58:45 +0000 Ash 922932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's cuz you're so pretty. :)<br /> My office doesn't say anything special to me. What the heck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922843 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:45:33 +0000 regberadaisy 922843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, as I think they all should be! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922841 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:44:04 +0000 JessKas 922841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: that ankle compliment is seriously amazing. </p> <p>They are pretty complimentary at my practice, but not as much as they seem to be at yours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922823 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:40:04 +0000 MapleMoose 922823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had a few nurses say I have a cute shirt or something but not always. I do like how excited the doctors and nurses get when I answer their questions. The last visit this week the nurse practitioner was all grins and actually said "yay!" when I told her baby is moving and grooving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922805 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:34:36 +0000 MrsF 922805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not that I recall, but it's great that yours are! Pregnant women (especially those who have just been weighed :wink: ) deserve to be complimented everywhere they go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922799 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:33:08 +0000 BoogieBea 922799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's awesome! Sure makes doc visits a lot more pleasant. My ob likes giving hugs. I've never had a doctor who gave hugs before. But I like it. The entire office is very chipper and friendly, except for the receptionist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922794 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:32:25 +0000 DillonLion 922794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...but I was a giant hot mess of a whale...so there wasn't much to compliment :)</p> <p>In fact, my doctor gave me a hard time about my weight gain at my appointments, instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-your-nursesdoctorsmidwives-complimentary-towards-you-at-your-visits#post-922772 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 13:29:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 922772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At each checkup, I'm blown away by how much the nurses and my OB compliment me. I wonder if they have just been in the business long enough to know that pregnant women need compliments? I'm sure it keeps their patients happy!</p> <p>The nurses always tell me that it's "amazing that my ankles are still so thin in this heat."</p> <p>My OB always tells me she likes my outfits.</p> <p>I certainly leave that office with an ego boost!</p> <p>what about you?</p> <p>EtA: I hear them do it to everyone, so I know it's not just me! Even the receptionist gives out compliments! </p>
