Questions to ask my doctor

I'm 30 weeks and have another appointment next week. My doctor mentioned at the last appointment that I haven't been asking many questions at all and he wants me to write some down to ask him next time. This is my first baby but I just can't think of anything I need to ask! So what are some questions you have asked your doctor or plan on asking?

Thanks everyone.. My pregnancy has been a breeze so far and he truly does answer all of my questions for me. I did have the pediatrician question written down for him though! He was just very shocked and seemed almost worried at my 27 week appointment that I didn't have a single question for him.

Ask what pediatrician he recommends do you need to visit them before the baby comes?

Just to tease the doctor you could ask why do I  need to ask a question when women have been doing this for thousands of years?  Or you could just say I don't need to ask a question because you answer it before I ask.  :-)
Or you're just a very well educated momma.  :-)

If I was that far along, I'd ask when could you expect baby to turn into birth position and how you would know...Did you get back all your blood test results? (Ask about these if all is on track). Are you up to date with all your vaccines etc? If you're experiencing spasms or such, ask about these (whats the best thing to do to stay comfortable). Ask about the process of giving birth at the hospital (will this same doctor be the one onsite to help you? Do you know the procedure about what to do when you go into labour, where to go, when to go, who to call, birthplan and changes to it if need be, what to pack, who you can take in with you etc.) Hope you find some questions to ask, as if we aren't under enough stress already and your doctor still gives you homework, lol!
