Not much. That would pretty accurately sum up the 14 week checkup with the doctor. A little warning from one of the many mother's I know would have been greatly appreciated. Here I was expecting at least something...
A summary of the doctor's visit:
8:35 Arrive & give the desk clerk my new insurance card from the company. Watch Babe the Pig on the tv in the waiting room.
8:45 Sign the financial forms. Visit the nurse. Get weighed in. Do blood pressure test. Go to exam room. Sit and watch Babe the Pig on the tv in the exam room.
9:10 ish (I think, I had no watch on) Doctor walks in. Asks if I have been feeling well. Listens to Sparky's heartbeat. Says "see you in 4 weeks". Hands me chart and says to sign the hospital consents on the way out.
9:12 ish Sign hospital consents with front desk staff.
9:15 Leave doctor's office to go to work.
So... nearly an hour at the doctor's this morning for a two minute visit and a large bill to my insurance company. Classic.
And for the record - Doctor said Sparky was doing fine. Next visit is in 4 weeks and the ultrasound to give Sparky a gender is in 6.

sounds exactly accurate!! I guess Sparky isn't being a squeaky wheel... I began to wonder why I went at all...you can always just ask tons of questions that you already know the answer too--but this seems to irritate them.... glad to see you re doing well!
Dear Sparky, Yes Indeed! you are fine, and you are lucky your Doctor got in the room. They will get more aggressive in their poking around as time goes by. If he gets to aggressive, just kick him. I love you and can hardly wait to see you!!
If we told you everything, you would never want to do this. Your doing great- just keep going and it's more of the same until the last two months.
