Make The Most of Your Prenatal Appointments

So, how can you make the time you spend with your doctor at your prenatal appointment? The most effective? Well, one of the simplest things is to write it all down. I’m telling you, pregnancy brain is serious. It really makes you spacey. And it’s very humbling. It does go away about 18 months after you had the baby. But trust me, it does go away. In any case, when you go to the doctor, you’re inevitably going to forget what you are supposed to ask. So bring somebody with you. Make them your list keeper. Write it down on your phone. Write it down on a piece of paper. And you know what? if you forget, don’t worry. Call the nurse. They’ll answer the next day. It’s okay.
