I loved hearing the heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99588 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:56:39 +0000 duckduckkristen 99588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be skipping my 37 week appointment since I'll be away for the week. Everything has been normal with me too, so I'm not worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99524 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:12:14 +0000 lemondrop 99524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the same one in fact! I had my 37 week appointment between Christmas and New Year's and was supposed to see another doctor in the practice since mine was on vacation- only he had an emergency and had to cancel... so I went for my normal 38 week appointment- not a big deal to them or me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99517 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:00:37 +0000 MsMini 99517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be okay with skipping one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99499 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:26:19 +0000 calsmom 99499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't mind. As long as everything is going well, then I fully welcome one less trip to the dr :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99492 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:19:04 +0000 skibobrown 99492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine. The only thing is that preeclampsia can crop up late in a pregnancy, so just monitor yourself extra carefully for any weird signs like excess swelling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99488 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:16:24 +0000 DpeachLu 99488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay good! I was just making sure I wasn't being a horrible parent. </p> <p>Cervical checks were supposed to start today .. I def dont mind putting that off by a few days ;-/. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99482 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:11:15 +0000 mrstilly 99482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be fine with that. Aside from hearing my baby's heartbeat, most appointments were pretty boring. It was of course reassuring to know everything was ok, but I'd definitely be okay with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99480 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:08:45 +0000 chopsuey 99480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be ok with it.. especially since all of your previous appts have been fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99478 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:07:19 +0000 runsyellowlites 99478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since I see a midwife &amp; she comes to my home for my visits they've always been pretty relaxed.... around the time of when they should be, but not "exactly" at "x" weeks.</p> <p>I'd be fine with it. =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99469 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:51:55 +0000 tequiero21 99469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't skipped any visits but i was willing to when they kept me waiting over an hour! i wanted to just leave. but unfortunately, i'm carrying twins and it's close to my twin due date, so my doctor wanted me to wait, so i did. but i would have been perfectly willing to skip a week. and i was annoyed they kept me waiting so long!</p> <p>i think as long as you're feeling fine and you've had no issues, waiting is totally fine! good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/skipping-week-37s-doctor-visit#post-99465 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 16:41:19 +0000 DpeachLu 99465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far all has gone well with my pregnancy.<br /> Weight is fine.<br /> Urine has tested fine.<br /> Blood pressure has always been normal.<br /> Heart rate sounds good.<br /> Baby moves around often - usually same times every day!</p> <p>My appointment for this week with the OBGYN was originally scheduled for Tuesday - they then called and rescheduled it for today Thursday ... well the office just called and asked me to reschedule for tomorrow because the Doctor had an emergency, again. I really didn't see the point in going in tomorrow when my week 38 appointment is scheduled for Tuesday. (I'm still working and I hate having to keep telling my boss 'oh nvm now its this day at this time')</p> <p>So the receptionist put me on hold and asked the nurse if it was okay to just skip this week all together and apparently she said yes because I was then told it was okay and that they will see me Tuesday in the early AM.</p> <p>Would you be okay with that, the way I am? Have you skipped any visits? </p>
