Physicals?
I am due for my annual physical in November. I am NEUROTIC about these - I never miss one, I always go ... but do I go this year while I'm PG? Should I wait? So confused!
I'd call and ask, but their lunch hour is the same as mine and it's near impossible for me to make phone calls during the day!
ETA I meant my annual physical with my PCP. I had my annual with my GYN at the end of June!

Re: Physicals?
I had a pap done at my first appointment but I also hadnt had one in a couple of years
My friend had one done around 12 weeks because she was due for one at that time. I thinkit depends on your dr. Some dr's will do it during the pregnancy some will want to wait till after the baby is born.
Ask when you go to your next appointment.
oooooooooh you are talking about a regular physical???? Then I have no idea theanswerto this question.....sorry hun.

Re: Physicals?
I don't think I've ever in my life had a physical. What do they do?
You're being monitored pretty closely right now, so I imagine you'd be ok to skip it, but what do I know? I'm a lawyer not a doctor! :-P
Call and leave a message if they won't answer the phones. It's always fun to get voice mail.

Re: Physicals?
I would ask your OB .. However... just to let you know, when I went for my presurgical testing I had bloodwork and lotsssss of my levels were thrown off!! They said it was because of the pregnancy! So, just know that if you DO go for a physical and have blood work done, it might raise a few red flags for no reason!! 
ETA: I'm not sure if you meant like a yearly OB appt or a regular physical with a family doctor. I was referring to a regular physical- not OB.

Re: Physicals?
it can't hurt to make a phone call. call your dr and ask them if you are concerned about skipping a year.

Re: Physicals?
Thanks for the advice! I clarified my original post; I was referring to an annual physical with my PCP.
