I see it a lot. I have avoided thus far but the bigger factor is I have waited a minimum of 60 minutes per appt. if I was seen on time I would probably bring him as it would be so much easier
I have taken my 4yo to all my appointments except the initial appointment, since I was anxious about a mmc because of history and it included a cervical exam. She is very well behaved, even with long waits. We take a couple favorite small toys and she is fine. We don't use electronic devices in public. The OB nurse gives her snacks. Other doctors and nurses have talked to her. They have a few toys for kids. She knows my nurse and OB by first name and they both interact and talk with her. It seems very genuine. Last time we were in, my OB told me that he has seen hundreds of kids, she is so well behaved and we are doing great with her. There is a huge difference in maturity between 2 and 4 so you would have to determine if they would be okay.
It depends. My OB did not allow anything children older than 12 months or something.
That's insane, and inconvenient. DS comes to the majority of my drs appointments. He stayed with a friend today, but that's only because I had to hike into NYC.
I couldn't imagine having to find care every time I went to the doctor.

I didn't have a sitter for my annual a few weeks ago and was forced to bring DD. She sat on my chest while my OB performed my pelvic exam. :?
