idk about my dr??

Every time i go to the Dr i go in, get weighed, give a urine sample them my dr comes in and he just measures my belly and listens to the heart beat and pretty much sends me on my way i feel like he should do more... this is my first so idk just wondering if this is typical?? He does ask me if i have questions before i leave but idk what to ask...

Ugh my doctor is the same way! It drives me crazy lol he doesn't even ask me if I have any questions. He just measures me & listens to the baby's heart beat & tells me to go on my way -.-

This is completely normal! This is my third child, if you have questions you have to ask cause doctors don't know what you do and don't know; they give you basic information.
