Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I have my 6 weeks pp check up coming up, and really don't want to bring my DD with me, since she hasn't have her shots yet. But I don't have anyone else to watch her, and as usual my OB is completely booked for the next 2 months, so can't reschedule.

Do you think it would be ok to bring her with me?

I would and did

I took Emerson with me to all my dr. appts. I had to see the OB a few times after I delivered her and she came with me each time. (she was a week old, 3 weeks old, 4 weeks old, and 6 weeks old) Just kept her in the stroller nice and cozy.

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

If you have no other option, I would. I've seen a few 6 wk old babies there at mom's first appt.

I did it but had DH w/ me & we had to wait longer than expected & didn't have milk & she wasn't a happy camper. Chalk it up to an inexperienced mom.

If you don't want people over her, keep a light blanket over her carseat.

I did. I actually had to go a few times due to c-section and other things and DS came to each one.

I did..my OB and the nurses were thrilled to see him, other than in sonogram form lol.

I'm glad I did too because my OB is moving So she got to see Ethan again before she left.

I would and I did. My OB didn't deliver DD so she was happy to see her.

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I think it is fine! While I was PG, I saw lots of women bring their newborns in for appt.

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I just did on Tuesday

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I did too ..

I took her at 5 days old to get my staples out, again at 2 weeks to get my incision check and again at 4 weeks!!!

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I don't think it is a problem at all. I did for both my 2 week and 6 week check with my OB b.c I was BFing and my OB was in the city. I think it is fine - just try to sit away from everyone. I see people doing that all the time when I go for my OB appts now.

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I did my OB wanted to see her it was in a private office though not a hospital setting

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I had to bring my 3 week old with me today bc I had an emergency situation and could only get in to see him right after my ped appt. I didn't have to wait in the waiting room, though, so it was fine.

i took DD to my 1 week check up after the c section and took her

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I did! I wanted my Dr. to see him since he delivered him.

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I did.
My doctor was so happy to see her, as were all of the nurses who were there with me throughout the pregnancy as well!

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

Not only did I bring DS to my 6 wk check up but also to every OB visit up until I was 34 weeks PG with DD, which started when he was 7 months old. You do what you have to do.

Re: Would you bring 6 wks old to your OB appt?

I brought him. DS slept the entire time. I put a blanket over the car seat so he was covered.
