I suspect you're right. I just have a tendency toward cynicism when it comes to doctors, so I'm trying to actually consider the reasons before I blow them off =). [ Reply | More

Well, I'm 31 weeks pg and my doctor scheduled my next appointment 4 wks from my last. I wouldn't worry about it, esp if you are having a healthy pregnancy. Good luck! [ Reply | More
