Re: How long
I see my doctor at 7 am on Saturdays so there's usually not a wait. The actual appointment is about 15 minutes.

If I wait 10 minutes that's a lot. I see the dr for 5 min or so unless it is a sono appt. he checks the heart rate on a quick sono, looks at baby on sono, asks if I have any questions and that is pretty much it. I don't usually have questions so it's quick.

Wait time depends. Sometimes it's short sometimes it's long!! My OB does a sono at every appt but it's quick. I would say he's with me for under 10 minutes.

Never have to wait more than 5 minutes. If it's just a regular appointment the nurses weigh me, blood pressure, I pee in a cup. I see the doctor for maybe 5 minutes. Its real quick.

Depends. Sometimes I'd be there for no more than 30-40 minutes between waiting, sono, and getting checked. Then there were times I was there for at least an hour. And then there was one time I was there for nearly 3 hours all because they were extremely backed up.

How long
During the entire time of my prenancy there were only 2 times I was there less than an hour. One time was because I told them I had another appointment ahead of time. And the last time I went I brought my 2 week old DD with me so I think that's why they got me in and out so quickly.
On average, it was 1.5-2 hours and up to 3 hours. That's not normal.
I'm debating on changing doctors after I go for my next appointment unless they get me in and out quickly that time.
I really dislike one of the receptionists which doesn't help either.

Re: How long
My whole pregnancy with my son I never waited more than ten minutes.
And I was high-risk plus then they found out I had a two-vessel cord so I had to go to tons of appointments throughout the whole pregnancy. They were great, never really waited.

Re: How long
I never wait more than 10 minutes or so past my appointment time.
Once the doctor had an emergency at the hospital and they offered to reschedule or allowed me to wait. I waited about an hour and a half. But that was an exception.

Depends- sometimes not at all, sometimes over an hour. I think the most time I ever spent with the doctor was 10 minutes and that was only because she couldn't find the hb with the doppler and had to do a sono.
I always feel very rushed while I'm there.

Re: How long
I make the earliest appt possible, always. I usually wait around 15-30 mins to see the Dr and then wait in the room another 15 minutes or so, they do BP etc...actual facetime with Dr is about 5 mins for a regular appt.
