Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I have a LOT of things I need to go over with the Dr. This appointment ( tommorow) and I feel weird pulling out a piece of paper with a list, I dont know why.

Am I strange?

Does anyone honestly have a list they look at and ask , and The Dr doesnt or wont think Im nuts if I do this. LOL

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

That is not strange at all. I always would think of something that I wanted to ask and then forget when I got there! That is a great idea! She will not think you are strange!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

Don't feel strange, it keeps your thoughts together better. It's funny you ask this, because I have not brought a list yet, but I already have a list of like 6 questions for my appointment on Monday!

We've got to be prepared!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I've always done that even before being preggo.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I really need to do this because I seem to get distracted by seeing the baby on screen I forget everything else.

I went to the dr on Monday for a bad cold (2-weeks) and I left the exam room without so much as talking about it. I talked to the doctor while I was making my next appointment and felt rushed. Then I left and realized I had more questions.

Thank god for this site because I really feel clueless about some of the stuff that is happeneing!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I always bring a list of questions, because I get so overwhelmed sometimes that I forget to ask what I want to ask. A lot of people do this -- in fact, a lot of the PG books recommend that you bring a list, so I'm sure the doctors have seen it all before!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I go to pediatrician appts with a book that I keep questions in. No worries!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

i don't think it's strange at all.

my doctor told me to write questions down!!

i'm sure they understand that preggo brains forget things all the time!!

good luck at your appt.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

um, I do that EVERY time I do to the doctor. How else are you supposed to remember your questions?

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

Well, you are strange

But no, I do this because I forget and I feel more annoying calling and having to ask later on, just look at it that way!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I don't think it's strange at all, go for it.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

My doctor seems to like when I pull out my lists...better than me trying to remember what to ask (that takes me forever).

Go ahead - it'll be fine and will be a good way to make sure you get everything answered.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I do it all the time, and I love that my Dr doesn't think I'm crazy for it!!!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I do it all the time. I know I'd forget by the time I got there. MY doctor doesn't look at me like it is weird. I am sure they expect that.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I always have a paper with questions... its the only way I can remember what I want to ask!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I always did. You should have seen the list of questions I had when I went to interview pediatricians!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

Like I said in FM - I bring a list to the VET -- you can def. bring a list to see Dr. H.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

i went with a list!! I think they expect you to have a lot of questions!

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I try to write a list and glance at it while I am waiting. I have never had such a big list that I had to look at it while talking to the dr

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

Of course!!

Otherwise I forget everything I want to ask.

I call it the "Barnes & Noble" syndrome. There are always 100 books I want to read but once I get into B&N I can't remember the title of a single one.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

I have been taking a list with me so far. I know my midwife probably thinks I am nuts.

Re: Does anyone bring a list of ?'s to the Dr's appnt?

Don't feel weird, bring a pen too so you can write down the dr's answers.

I did this for every single appt for my 1st pg, so i didn't leave the dr's office confused or kickin myself for forgetting to ask something, it gives you so much piece of mind
