We visit in one of the midwives' homes or our home, and always have at least an hour of time devoted exclusively to us without any waiting line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-227121 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:31:46 +0000 mediagirl 227121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! They get us in and out in a flash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-227102 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:25:35 +0000 rawrasaur 227102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go to a pretty big practice, but the wait isn't that bad and I have had first appointments and last appointments of the day. Usually within 5 min I go back and the nurses take my weight/blood pressure and have me pee in a cup (and occasional other quick testing, like iron). Then you go back to the waiting room and wait 5 or so minutes then they call you back to your room. At that point it just depends on how much my doctor is talking to the person in front of me, and that is usually the longest wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-227079 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:13:10 +0000 chopsuey 227079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I've never waited for more than 10 minutes. Love my OB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-227064 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:02:06 +0000 ladyfingers 227064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and I'm so pleased! They ask that you arrive 15 minutes early, so that's the most I ever have to wait, and then maybe 5-10 minutes in the internal waiting room after they bring you in to do blood pressure/weight etc. It's part of the same OB/GYN network I used to go to a long time ago where there was always an AWFUL wait. At least an hour! So I'm happy they're not at all the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-227062 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:57:22 +0000 Running Elley 227062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a small practice. I think the longest I’ve waited was 10 minutes. Closer to 5 is more the norm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-227061 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 17:52:36 +0000 MusicaV 227061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually wait, even as the first appt of the day. 5-10 minutes in the waiting area, then 5-10 in the exam room. When I'm not the first appt, I have waited more than 30 minutes just in the exam room! Not an efficient practice.</p> <p>On the other hand, I love when I go to the high-risk specialist. I didn't even have time to pick up a magazine before I was called in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226745 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:06:22 +0000 wheres_c 226745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually about 30 minutes at mine. I actually remembered to bring a kindle today, so looking forward to getting out of work and reading the second book in the maze runner series! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226744 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:06:11 +0000 cyndistar3 226744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost never had to wait! And mostly I only had to wait if I was super early lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226742 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:05:12 +0000 regberadaisy 226742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get called in on time but then I end up sitting in the exam room for a good 10-20 minutes. Which drives me crazy because I was overheated during pregnancy! One of their rooms is SO warm the one time I thought I was going to faint! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226739 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:04:07 +0000 rattles 226739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine are super-fast! I head to the bathroom to give a sample when I get there, and at every appointment so far, I've been called before I got back. I pay for an hour at the meter and have never needed the whole thing (anatomy scan aside). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226733 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:01:48 +0000 leelee 226733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have to wait about 30 minutes unless I get the first appt of the day which is rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226728 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:59:44 +0000 skipra 226728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually although I waited nearly an hour one time, but was told it was because of an earlier emergency. Normally the wait is less than 10 minutes. Last visit they were waiting for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226726 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:58:51 +0000 Adira 226726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely depends on what time I go, but I always bring a book to any appointment I have so I'm not bored! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226719 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:56:33 +0000 Andrea 226719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I tried that but it doesn't help. He told me to take the first appt after their lunch break so I did that twice and it hasn't helped either. Boooo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226706 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:52:12 +0000 Pipers Mommy 226706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been really lucky at my visits. Last pregnancy I did first appt of the day, this time around I'm shooting for last appt of the day and so far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226699 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:49:52 +0000 littlebug 226699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I've ever waited for more than 10-15 minutes. I love my office! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226694 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:47:55 +0000 DillonLion 226694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Same. I only attend appts first thing in the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226689 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:46:29 +0000 Alivoo01 226689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and for quite some time too! It's annoying.</p> <p>At my regular physician's office, we're brought back to the exam room quickly, but will be sitting in there for hours (no joke) until the doctor sees us. I know emergencies and extra questions from patients arise, but how do you get backed up for hour<b><i>s</i></b>?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226682 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:44:09 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 226682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forty minutes is pretty standard. I always feel bad for my husband, who leaves work early to go to appointments, and then has to work at the kitchen table for another hour when we get home. Ohhhh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226681 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:42:48 +0000 autumnlove 226681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always took the earliest appointment of the day ...7:45 so I wouldn't have to wait for other patients. But my Dr. was late a few times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226680 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:42:41 +0000 matador84 226680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the max I've ever had to wait was 30. Usually it's 15 mins or less. I do know July/August are big baby months...when I was leaving my last appointment the waiting room was crazy crowded! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226678 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:42:19 +0000 LuLu Mom 226678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the same, at least 20 minutes, I just bring my Kindle and makes the time go by faster for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226676 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:41:50 +0000 DillonLion 226676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all. It is a small practice with only one doctor, though. The only hold up is usually me trying to produce a urine sample. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-a-long-wait-at-your-obmidwives#post-226674 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:39:42 +0000 Andrea 226674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always sitting here for a least 30 minutes before seeing the doctor. So boring! </p>
