what all are they supposed to do at every baby appointment? my midwife only does the Doppler and the tape measure and measures how big my belly is. she also talks to me and sees how I've been doing but are they supposed to do an internal exam every visit? the only exam I've had was on my first appointment at 2 months so idk...is that what they're supposed to do?
Only benefit of being high risk. In two weeks, I start weekly ultrasounds to measure my cervix. Waiting on a call from my OB to make an appointment to start progesterone injections. Two appointments every week. 😂😂
I've broken my wrist 😭 how am I supposed to look after my baby? I can't even pick her up and my bf will be at work. What am I gunna do? 😣
so I'm making my appointment with my new doctor tomorrow what do I say? That I just need to make an appointment, I've never switched Drs before😩
You couldn't find a babysitter?! Mommas, do you take your kids with you to run errands and go to mundane appointments? On two separate occasions, a doctors appointment for me and today at a car service appointment, someone has remarked "you couldn't find a babysitter?!" It never crossed my mind to find a babysitter. I take my 2 kids with me just about everywhere. They are well behaved (minus the occasional 3 year old meltdown) and one of them is attached to my boob the majority of the time anyway. Am I the only one? Is that a weird thing to do? Do most moms find babysitters?
So my water just broke and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do and I'm home alone

Too many internals can introduce bacteria up there! So usually they just do them at the end. My midwives started asking me if I wanted to be checked at 39 weeks :)

Ok good. I was just making sure because I've been hearing that they behave to do externals like every visit. so I'm just like everyone else. awesome! @rainbowboyvincentluke @chocohunnybees

Or cultures if needed for labs. Last week I got cultures for the strep b virus.

That sounds about right. Unless you're high risk or you're scheduled for an ultrasound that's about all you do at your regular visits. I see my regular doctor every week now that I'm almost done with the last trimester and he did the first cervical check to see if I was dilating but most of the time he just does Doppler and measures fundal height.
