My doctor appointment yesterday was awesome! I left work at 12:30 for my 1:20 appointment cause it is kinda a long drive and you never know how traffic or the roads are, yesterday they happened to be good cause I got to my appt at 1:05!! I'm sure that's record time!? The parking lot at the office was completely empty which was very odd, usually I have to search for a parking spot that is a good hike away! So I get to the office and tell them I'm there, I go do my thing (pee in a cup ~ negative protein and sugar) and before I could sit down they tell me to go to the blood pressure machine (123/68 ~ not bad) and right after that I go get weighed (gained 2lbs ~ not bad). Usually after I do all these things I have to go back to the waiting room to wait for an examining room but yesterday I went straight into one after I got weighed and before I could even put my shoes back on the doctor walked in!! I was amazed at how things just clicked along, no waiting in the room, it was great. As I mentioned before my regular doctor is on holidays so this time I had to see a new doctor ~ he was awesome!!! I kinda wish I could change my doctor and see him from now on!! When I was younger I always shy'd away from the male doctors but now I'm thinking I was wrong by judging them before trying one?! So anyway ..... he walks in the room and asks how I am, mentions how I'm 31 weeks along and how he noticed in my chart how I was having problems with my gallbladder and how things were going with that. It was amazing that he was just the doctor filling in but yet seemed to care and know so much about me - like he actually looked up my history before seeing me! Not even my regular doctor can remember what week I'm at! ? He told me I measure at 32cm which is just over the 50% (if your 31 weeks you should be 31cm pelvic to top of uterus) so I'm close, babies heart beat was 140bpm (as usual) and he felt where the baby was (he figures head down !!). I was surprised to hear that baby is already head down and this was the first time the doctor told me what I measured. He was really nice and the best part was that I was out of the office before my appt was even suppose to start!! In my car by 1:18 and I didn't feel like he rushed me out it just went really smooth and there was no problems!! So I after the appt I went to visit one of my girlfriends that lives out there, stayed a little longer then planned but we had lots to talk about (I haven't seen her in quite a while) so I didn't get home till 5:30 but it was a good day!

glad to hear your feeling about male docters is beginning to change. Personaly I find them way more gental and yup less rushed. I think the female brain is hard wired to take on to much sometimes. Family, job, house, what am I making for super? that sort of thing.
If you liked him, maybe you can find out what kind of practice he has, you never know, he might be a baby docter!
It's really hard to find a docter you like, I'm so glad I finaly found mine and I'm keeping him.
He has six kids! Hello! Can it be more perfect!
