They Never Check Me
Posted: 03-04-05 14:33pm

How come I hear all these girls talking about there checks, but ive only been checked once, on my very first visit? Ever since then, they just measure the top to bottom, and tell me im good to go. Are they suppost to be doing more?

like anything. All she does is measure from my belly button to somewhere else, that takes like half a minute, then she leaves. I hear other girls, and they get more stuff done to them, nothing in particular though.

when I go to my doctor they measure my stomache, check the baby's heart beat with a doppler and checks my blood pressure. I have a friend who gets an ultrasound every month at her doctors office. I wish I got that. :)

U/s arent good for the baby thats bad that her doc does that unless shes a mega high risk pregnancy patient...

Hun most doc appts only consist of taking your weight and blood pressure, measuring your tummy and hearing the heart beat theres nothing much else to do
