How many women carry their maternity notes everywhere?

[jazzyazzy]

I had an appointment today at my prenatal clinic but was told that they wouldn't see me as I'd forgotten my notes. It seems archaic that with current technology where everything is computerised that I'm expected to take my handwritten notes everywhere with me. I was told that even if I pop out to the shops, I'm supposed to take my notes with me. I'm just curious to know, how many pregnant women actually carry their notes with them?

Did first time, but then they were only small things - just for the pregnancy rather than the full set of hospital notes right up to a c section and post natal notes. Most of which won't even be used for most people! Have taken on holiday etc but am not lugging them around to get back ache when I'm just doing the school run.
