A/S appt

How long did your appt last? I know I'll have my scan then have to wait for doctor to meet with me.

My total scan was about an hour. The tech took all the measurements and then then showed all the images to the doctor who looked over them and said we were good to go.

We never actually met with a doctor.

Mine was at MFM so it may have been different/longer? The tech scanned for at least 25 minutes, then we waited for the doctor about 10 minutes. He came in and talked to us for 5 or 10 minutes, then he scanned for a couple of minutes too. All in all maybe an hour or slightly longer than 1 hour.

  Oh God, I am dreading having a full bladder for an hour! It's so uncomfortable. I hope mine is relatively quick.

Mine was about 45 minutes. The doctor viewed the scans and went over them at our next appointment. She would have called if anything was abnormal.

Hoping it takes a while bc I don't want to go back to work.

ditto except this was after 2 a/s at my dr's office - they couldn't get all the pics since baby was moving around like crazy and wouldn't cooperate. The appts at my dr's office were probably 20 mins each.

I'd say maybe 30 minutes? They took all the measurements using an abdominal scan and took pictures, then the tech did a quick transvaginal because she said my placenta is really close to my cervix and wanted to get a closer look and take a measurement.

Then I met with the midwife for about 5 minutes.

Around 40 minutes. The tech got the measurements in about a half hour, confirmed baby's a girl, and then we waited another 10 minutes while the doctor went over the results.

The scan took about 45 minutes or so, including a trans-vaginal to check the cervix. Then the doc came in, and he did maybe a 10 minute quicky to just look over everything again even though everything was fine.
