It was weird not seeing them weekly after delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1594251 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 01:01:42 +0000 Dandelion 1594251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did cause I knew that every time I was going ibto the office, I'd know that my baby is ok.</p> <p>However, I was going weekly from 20 weeks on and 2-3 times a week after 33 weeks, so I definitely did get tired of seeing that place towards the end! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1594248 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:53:11 +0000 googly-eyes 1594248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked them and looked forward to them. I liked anything that had to do with checking in on my LO! </p> <p>The next time I imagine I will be busier and not like them as much, but who knows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1594233 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:19:53 +0000 Mrs. M 1594233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoyed them much more during my first pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1594226 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 00:09:31 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 1594226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time pregnant here, and I love them so far! Not looking forward to my glucose test coming up though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1591404 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 22:21:40 +0000 bunnylovesbear 1591404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! Love hearing the heartbeat. ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590968 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 20:11:40 +0000 artsyfartsy 1590968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I miss them too! I told my nurse at my 6 week pp appointment that I was going to miss coming every week. It seems weird to not be going back for a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590352 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:30:41 +0000 coopsmama 1590352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. I appreciate the fact that they provide reassurance and also check to make sure all is well with my body and baby's heart rate but it also starts to feel like a bit of a waste of time since they are generally just in and out and I wait longer then I'm actually there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590342 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:28:21 +0000 bushelandapeck 1590342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time I did but so far this time has been a little annoying. I've waited forever for the OB and she only sees patients one day per week which is inconvenient. I do still love hearing the heartbeat though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590286 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 17:05:42 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1590286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love them! I could listen to the heartbeat all day, everyday. and since I'm on bed rest the appointments are the only times I'm off the couch and out of the house so it's def something I look forward to every week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590229 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:49:54 +0000 Honeygold89 1590229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a midwife and she was the absolute best ever I seen her all throughtout my pregnancy and even when I went through my mc before this pregnancy and I got lucky enough that she was on call when I went into labor and she got to deliver my baby. I cried when she wasnt available for my 6 week check up lol probably was the hormones but I will try to always keep her as my midwife with any future pregnancy</p> <p>Eta plus her office is 5 minutes away from my house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590126 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:16:02 +0000 spaniellove 1590126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the ones with the midwife. The ones with the OBs and MFMs are a total waste of time, which is ironic because I'm high risk. The midwife actually looks through my history and talks about what is going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590111 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:12:20 +0000 mrs. 64 1590111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it when I get an ultrasound. Otherwise I am so rushed there I leave barely knowing what happened. I am getting better at getting all of my questions/concerns out immediately, but I really wish everything wasn't so rushed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590079 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:01:25 +0000 CakeLady 1590079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always excited to hear the heartbeat or see the baby (my next visit, 32 week, will be an ultrasound to check growth and position :happy: ). My OB's office is really close to work so it is pretty convenient, but the peeing in a cup and being weighed are getting kind of old. Also my doctor is super efficient, which means I am usually in and out pretty quickly, but I don't always feel like I am getting as much information and attention as I would like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590076 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 16:00:31 +0000 swurlygurl 1590076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh. I love my Dr., love hearing the heartbeat, love the reassurance that everything is fine.</p> <p>I HATE the wait time. My Dr is soooooo popular, and every time I go I swear to myself that I'm going to find a new OB, but then I meet with her and remember why I love her so much. But the wait stresses me out, so I don't look forward to my appointments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590065 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:57:09 +0000 Running Elley 1590065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! They were reassuring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590058 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:55:13 +0000 LovelyPlum 1590058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: me too! It was one of the only places I felt that way, to be honest.</p> <p>I loved going to my appointments, even when some of them made me nervous. I always left feeling better. I will miss them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590009 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:40:49 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1590009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. I love my doctors and would never switch practices, but the logistics stink. I'm 45 minutes from their main office (which is more like 90 mins in traffic, plus parking fees) and I'm 20 minutes from their satellite office (but limited appointment availability).</p> <p>It's especially harder orchestrating visits with my 2.5 year old. So far she's tried to look into someone else's urine sample cup, has nearly opened the bathro door while I'm on the toilet, thought Pap smear sticks were a tooth brush, and most recently, today she handed my OB the gel (whatever is is?!) for pelvic exams. </p> <p>It's a lot more work with Chloe for a simple 5 minute appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1590003 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:39:02 +0000 HLK208 1590003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!!! I feel like they're such a waste of time (other than hearing the heartbeat which I love). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589998 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:36:12 +0000 Lindsay05 1589998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I love my doc. We always have great conversations and we talk like friends. I actually was sad PP when I wouldnt see her as frequently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589993 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:34:40 +0000 autumnlove 1589993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589984 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 15:30:59 +0000 dolphin 1589984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the wait time but love hearing the heart beat! I especially looked forward to the appointment when I know Im getting an ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589868 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:57:28 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1589868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. The logistics are annoying - downtown office, expensive parking. I hate peeing in a cup every time (there is ALWAYS someone else's cup in the door, yuck!), and having my blood pressure taken. My doctor's office feels like a baby factory, but I never feel rushed with my doctor.</p> <p>But its nice being able to ask questions and hear the heartbeat, and it helps to feel like time is passing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589833 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:49:40 +0000 mlm2934 1589833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I am seeing OB and a specialist. I countdown to the specialist ones bc I get an ultrasound every time.<br /> The OB ones feel like a waste of time in comparison. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589831 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:49:14 +0000 artsyfartsy 1589831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loooooved it. They treated me like I was so special!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589825 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:48:31 +0000 MrsF 1589825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really liked going with my last pregnancy, but it's going to be different this time. Either having to figure out childcare or drag a toddler to an appointment stresses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589824 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:48:02 +0000 Cole 1589824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I would like them more but I am mostly just meh about them. I wish I saw the same person every time but they make us rotate and I keep having to explain stuff over and over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589817 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:46:23 +0000 Littlebit 1589817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved it in the beginning because I wanted to hear the heartbeat, but now that I'm feeling kicks it kind of feels like a waste. I mean, obviously it's for a reason, but I'm not pumped for them like I used to be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589815 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:45:33 +0000 cyndistar3 1589815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a midwife and I love going to my appointments! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-ob-visits#post-1589797 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 14:41:02 +0000 Mae 1589797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do, mostly! At the beginning it was sort of love/hate because I was so excited to hear the heartbeat every time, but also so scared of finding out something was wrong. Once I got past my anatomy scan I calmed down and started just enjoying them as a way to check in with LO without any stress. Although I'll admit I feel a little "meh" about the last few (I'm 38.5 right now). I'm really lucky to have had a very normal/non-dramatic pregnancy and I feel good (mostly) and feel very in-tune to LO so going every week is sometimes like... ugh I need to spend an hour doing this again? I promise she's good. I can tell she's just fine. lol. But I know it's still good to confirm even though I feel like I can tell that she and I are a-okay anyways. </p>
