At my one week checkup, my dad sent me with a ton of Chinese food that he cooked. My dr was an old family friend and my dad wanted to show his appreciation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1383152 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 04:06:51 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1383152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: haha, it's actually just the recipe for chocolate cake on the back of the Hershey cocoa powder container! It's a really great chocolate cake recipe. </p> <p>I think I'll skip bringing it in. I think I'll bring them cake pops or cookies from my favorite bakery instead at my 6 week post partum appt. So yay, more cake for me! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382944 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:45:51 +0000 Mae 1382944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, share the recipe on HB. That can be your good deed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382937 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:43:20 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1382937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As a nurse, I can say we don't generally eat things that come from patients that aren't packaged or wrapped up from a bakery or similar place. So eat up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382928 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:39:38 +0000 Mae 1382928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ehhh I'd probably not. I think I'd be more inclined to take like, a box of cookies or cupcakes they could share with the whole office and that don't require a fork to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382924 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:36:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1382924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought in a huge platter of treats for my midwife and the nurses just after I had my son- they loved that I was so thoughtful and it felt good to acknowledge all they did for me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382907 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 21:22:08 +0000 owlteach 1382907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take it in. If they don't eat it, at least they know that you thought about them. However, this may totally be cultural thing. I live in a pretty rural, traditional area and I don't think it would be that weird around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382853 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:53:17 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1382853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I brought brownies in to my midwife at my 6 week pp visit. I like to think she enjoyed them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382831 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:42:45 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1382831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@indi: OK, I had that thought that too about them not eating homemade goods. I'm totally fine with nomming on this myself. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382766 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 20:11:25 +0000 indi 1382766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Come share?! ;-) But nah, I'd leave it at home. I hear from a lot of Drs and nurses that they don't really eat most home baked goods from patients. So dig in without guilt. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-bring-a-treat-for-my-drnurse-at-my-last-appt#post-1382666 Tue, 28 Jan 2014 19:24:39 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1382666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I made an amazing chocolate cake today and I don't want to eat it all myself (although, I totally would being 40 weeks pregnant, lol!). So I was thinking of bringing in a slice for my awesome Dr and nurse. Would that be really weird? It's my last appointment tomorrow because I have an induction scheduled for next week if I don't go into labor by then. I'm not really sure how to go about bringing it in though. Just go into the waiting room with 2 plates of chocolate cake? Haha. </p>
