OB/GYN

The first one I ever had was a man, Dr. Pappas. This was in Mississippi when I was late teens, early twenties. Every time I went, they did a urine test for pregnancy. (I always secretly held my breath a little each time.) Then he would come in (the last few years I saw him, he had a woman nurse come in with him), tell me I was not preggers and proceed with the exam. Sigh.
I went to one today and no urine test. This could be as simple as:
*The insurance I had before paid for it automatically, and they did it for more money, and mine doesn't automatically pay for it now so they only do it if necessary.
*Teenagers are less likey to test themselves (based soley on my expereience)
However, a part of me thinks it may have been because teen pregnancy was such a widespread thing in Mississippi. Not judging! At all! Several of my friends in high school (in Seattle AND Mississippi) had babies in high school. It just seemed a little off, based upon what I was used to.
