I got excited for the first few, when I had a lot of questions, and hearing the heartbeat for the first few times. We don't have a home doppler or anything, so it was exciting to hear it and get confirmation that there was something going on in there.

Now, though, I'm just in that middle zone where things aren't really changing, I don't have any real questions (like you, I find out so much on here!), so it's just routine. And by routine, I mean, rush to get there on time, then sit and wait because she is already running late, have a quick 20 min sit down, hear the heartbeat, schedule next appt. The end. So yeah, not exciting at this point but I don't mind it either.

@sslm: DITTO!

@Silva: Exactly! That too. With a previous miscarriage, I always liked going in and hearing everything was good!

I looked forward to mine (usually) because I liked my midwives and I enjoyed chatting with them at my appointments, but I was already pretty well informed so I didn't actually get much out of the appointments, knowledge-wise.

I think they are super boring and kind of a waste of time. Whenever I have a question I google it, so all they ever do at the appointment is weigh me, take my blood pressure, and listen to the heartbeat. It takes like ten minutes. I just look at it as a precautionary task.
