I am going to regular prenatal visits with an OB because it's really not that big a deal for me and insurance pays for it; I just plan on staying home and UCing and never calling my doc afterwards. I KNOW they won't be missing me, as today's experience proves it. Two weeks ago i went in for my check-up and was informed that the doc would not be in that day...no reason, she just wouldn't be coming in, so I saw the NP, who is actually quite a wonderful lady, got my GBS screening, and was sent on my way. This morning I went in for my next check-up, and I was planning on it being my last, and when I get there at 9 I am informed that no one (both docs and the NP) will be in until 10 and can I please return at 10:30. Fine, whatever, it's really irritating, but fine. So I come back at 10:30 and hear the receptionist explaining to the person in front of me that they haven't heard from anyone yet and no one has come in yet, so the wait is going to be a while. Now I am ticked. I drove back there a second time and they were just going to let me check in and sit there like a chump in the waiting room with everyone else and the docs hadn't even bothered to call! I tell them I am leaving as I have better things to do with the rest of my day, and she offers to reschedule me for two days later with the NP. I tell her that I didn't get to see the doc last time, and I want to see the doc, and she says she has nothing until next Tuesday! I haven't even been scheduled out for the weekly visits I should be having by now, my OB's have complete disregard for their patient's time, and are totally unprofessional. I just wanted to get the results of my GBS and have an internal exam to tell me whether I'm dilated or whatever....serves me right, I should have known better
. Even dh told me to stop wasting my time and offered to 'check' me himself. 
Needless to say, I won't be showing up next week or ever. If I actually wanted to go to the hospital I would be looking for a new OB right now, and I feel SO sorry for all those other women who were sitting there today......just waiting. *sigh*
YAY for UC and thank goodness I know my options!
