Waste of time

I came to the conclusion today that "regular OB appointments" are a total waste of time. I spend 2 hours at the OB today just so he could do the following.

- Measure the heartbeats of both babies (estimated the actual rate b/c the doppler didn't have a digital readout

- Measure my stomach (it measures 20-21 weeks) and tell me that it doesn't really say anything b/c I have twins

- Tell me I've gained 4lbs so far and then say that there's no need to worry b/c I'll gain a lot in the second half

- Suggest I come back in 4 weeks for more of the same

Please tell me again why I needed to spend my afternoon there.
