I only dread my afternoon appointments because I have to wait sooo long even when I'm there on time!

I LOVED all my appts. I was at a birth center too and I loved everything about it. We always scheduled the appt's on days DH could come so I actually really liked the 45 minute drive down there. DH and I usually got lunch afterwards and spent the day being together. I have the best memories of them.

@Arden: Lucky! That only happens when I can take a morning appointment but that rarely happens with my work schedule!

Yeah that drive would be rough, esp once you have to start going weekly. I would wear the tank top and yoga pants. I would that to mine if I didn't have to go to work afterwards. So far I haven't minded any of my appointments. It makes me feel better when I hear the heartbeat, cause I am worrying all the time something has gone wrong.

It's totally normal to not always want to go out. I've always enjoyed going to our prenatal appointments, once we get out the door anyway. But the appts are really low-key and easy...DH goes with me, they're at the midwives' homes, and they only live about twenty minutes away. I've never had to wait to be seen, pee in a cup, or step on a scale, haha!

Go for the yoga pants! You never know, they could make all the difference!

I always dread going. -.-
I have an appt tomorrow that I really want to skip.
Kinda don't feel like seeing my ob til it's push time

Wow I feel so lucky that my OBs office is 10 min away! On the other hand in the daycare thread I am not feeling so lucky that our child care is so much more! I guess these are the pros and cons of living in a big city!

I started getting annoyed with them, especially at the end. I also had a 45 minute drive, with sciatica, and usually traffic on the way home. A couple of times it took 2 hours+ to get back home and I had a mid-morning appointment! All I wanted to do was jump back into my yoga pants, eat some Chick-fil-a, and nap on the couch.

@Minnie_Girl: @Arden: I dont ever have to pee in a cup either!

I used to fear them back before I could feel baby move. I was always so terrified they wouldn't find a heartbeat. But now I quite like going. I've actually always enjoyed doctor's appts because I like getting checked out and confirming that I'm healthy. My OB's office is 5 minutes from my office and my husband always meets me so I get to see him midday which is a treat. And it's comforting to hear her tell me everything is on the right track. But I will say I'm getting a little sick of the number of times I've had to go to the hospital so far!!!!!

I had a 45 minute drive when pregnant to my OBGYN's office. We didn't want to deliver at the hospital in our town (have never had a positive experience there) and I had been seeing an OBGYN in the nearest city when I got pregnant, so we kept going.

Definitely wear your yogas and be comfy. I wear mine all the time and I'm not pregnant anymore.

I love going to mine! It means I get to leave work early!

I look forward to my appointments, until the day of, when I worry if everything's going to be ok.
