The waiting room of any given ob-gyn's office presents an interesting mix of ladies (and a few uncomfortable men). As you wait, you wait with a group of women who are all there to see the same type of doctor but for many different reasons. So just who are these other women sitting around you? Why are they here? Well, we've boiled them down to 11 types. Read on to see who they are — and where you land! Source: Shutterstock
The mom who's basically in labor already.
Your appointment is clearly before hers, but you're all, "She can go ahead of me if she wants." Source: Lionsgate
The mom who's about to find out she is, indeed, pregnant.
She's got three positive pregnancy tests in her purse, and she's kind of freaking out at what's about to go down in the examination room. Source: MTV
The mom with her brand-new baby in tow.
She's got a smug sense of relief while the ready-to-pop mama sitting next to her is interrogating her with questions: Did you go natural? Did you tear? Are you breastfeeding? Are you sleeping? Source: Giphy
The mom with a lot of crazy kids with her.
Admit it, you're wondering if she's pregnant again. Source: ABC
The overly chatty grandmother.
She wants to know all about your pregnancy — but only after she touches your belly and tells you all about her three children and 10 grandchildren. Source: NBC
The mommy getting an IUD.
Her two kids are now in school, and she's ready to close up the baby-making shop for a bit — and she's pretty excited about the thought of not getting pregnant for five to 10 years. Source: NBC
The mom there with her teen daughter.
It's clearly her teen's first visit to the gynecologist, and I'm not sure who's more nervous, the mom or her daughter. Source: Fox
The mom-to-be who can't get pregnant and is back for yet another disappointing appointment.
She's back, again. She's heartbroken and frustrated, especially after having to sit in the waiting room with all these seemingly happy pregnant chicks. Source: Fox
The happiest pregnant woman alive.
She's pregnant and could not be happier. She's the epitome of glowing. She's asking a fellow mama-to-be what morning sickness feels like, because she just doesn't know. In fact, you didn't even know she was pregnant until she stood up.
The mom-to-be who hates being pregnant.
From morning sickness, to hemorrhoids, to gas, to heartburn, to acne, to sciatica, this whole pregnancy thing is just not her cup of tea. She can't seem to get comfortable in the waiting room chair and has used the restroom twice in 20 minutes. Source: E!
