Today I had my monthly doctors exam...  I getting into the swing of things with these.  I go once a month, they weigh me, check my pee, check my blood pressure, say hi, listen to the heartbeat (it always seems to take a few minutes to find this!), ask if I have questions and done!  All in all, it takes only about 20 minutes maybe.  Pretty quick! I am in a group practice for my OBY/ GN  - I choose them initially  because they are close to my house and the nearest hospital... of course, then I find that they only deliver at one that about 30 min away (no traffic), but I decided to stay with them.  (they deliver at the further one because they prefer the staff and their epidural people... I have heard that if anything is 'wrong' with me or baby they would have to transfer me to this hospital anyways , so that's fine) Because it's a group practice, they want me to meet with all of the doctors before I give birth.  The doctors rotate who is 'on call' at the hospital ...
