Do you get dressed up to go to the Doctors?

I do and apparently its weird. Does anyone else?

Not like if I'm going to my family doctor and I'm ill and feel like death. Then I normally just wear a sweatshirt and sneakers.

But if I'm going to like the gynecologist, cardiologist, etc. I feel like I should look more "put together" for some reason.

ETA: I don't wear like a dress but I do my hair, wear make up, wear nicer jeans/heels, etc.

Re: Do you get dressed up to go to the Doctors?

  • Not for the gyno since they make you get nakie anyway. But for everything else unless I feel like death.
  • When my OB/GYN was at the hospital next to work, I would be more dressy because I would come right after my shift.

    Now that they are at the other hospital in town along with my primary doctor,  I just go casual with jeans and t-shirt.

    ETA: I am more comfortable in casual clothes, so since going to the doc is usually not a pleasant time, I would rather be comfy than stuffy.

  • I'm usually going to the Dr. from work, so I'm usually kind of dressed up. But that's for work, not the doc.

  • negative.  Sometimes I go to the gyno or the dentist before work, so I'm a little more dressed up, but generally no.  Jeans and sneakers at best.

    Ditto. All my doctors are with-in a half-mile radius of my work so that I can just go during my lunch break.

  • I try to look better than usual. Even when I was pregnant I would put on nicer clothes to go to the dr. I just liked looking put together.

  • nope, I wear whatever I would wear on any other day (jeans w or w/o holes depending on the pair, t-shirt, hoodie, sneakers, no make-up, etc.)
  • Absolutely not. They're lucky if I'm not in pjs if I am Ill. If it is a checkup I do whatever i am wearing normally.

  • Not really. When we went to the OBGYN when I was pregnant, I would try to look a little more presentable, but not dressed up. If I'm sick they are getting me in my pjs.

    This!

  • Funny timing on this question! I dressed up to go to the RE this afternoon and when Jon swung by the house to pick me up to go to the appointment he asked why and I had to think about it. I think I dressed up because this woman will be monitoring our IVF cycle(s) and I apparently want her to think that I have it together enough to have children or something..Like I'm not lounging around working at home in my PJs all day, which I am. It's kind of ridiculous I guess. 

    Other doctors, I don't really think about what I'm wearing.

  • Nope. In fact, I think I specifically don't, because why would I want my cute clothes to get all germy? (I know that makes no sense, but I always change clothes when I get home from the dr.) Also, doesn't your hair get messed up when you lay on the table or back in the chair at the dentist?

  • I'm usually coming from or going to a different place, so whatever I'm wearing for that.  Usually it would be jeans.  If I'm sick, then I'll probably be in sweatpants or whatever since it will be unlikely that I'm going somewhere else.

  • No, t-shirt and jeans usually works for me.

    Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
  • I mkae sure I've showered, but I don't do much else beyond that.  I mean, if I'm coming from work I'll be in nicer close anyway, but if I'm leaving the house for an appt its usually just jeans and whatever.  Maybe even yoga pants if that's what the day brings me.
