"I just went back to see my OB/GYN for the first time since my post-delivery six-week visit. After I had my daughter, I didn&amp;#039;t know what I would do with myself if I wasn&amp;#039;t heading to a doctor&amp;#039;s appointment every week, but a year later, the thought of a checkup made me just a little bit nervous. I felt as if I should say something, somehow try to thank my doctor for guiding me through 19 hours of labor and for literally giving me the greatest gift ever.  But is it weird to thank your doctor? It&amp;#039;s her job and she does it several times a day\u2014would she even remember my delivery? Besides, between the Pap smear and panic that somehow you didn&amp;#039;t hide your underwear between your pants and T-shirt, there doesn&amp;#039;t really seem an appropriate time for a heart-to-heart.  At the end of my appointment, I did manage to fit in a somewhat clumsy, &amp;quot;Thank you \u2026 thank you all for everything you did,&amp;quot; which seems vastly inadequate, but really, what would be enough? I&amp;#039;m sure she gets a lot of &amp;quot;I owe you my first born\u2026&amp;quot; Did you thank your doctor after the birth of your child? Post your thoughts in comments.
