Anyone else feel like they drive their own OB appointments?

Maybe it’s just NYC where it’s always go go go and people (especially doctors) are not talkative, but I feel like I’m driving everything. If it wasn’t for my questions, the appointment would be over in 10 seconds. I thought I’d be guided more, and told what to do proactively. Instead, I feel like I’m always guiding ...
