Hi girls... procrastinating at work and my mind is wandering so I thought I'd say hello.
Today I am more than half way through my pregnancy. Since I will have a routine c/s in the 39th week, that means that I only have 19 weeks to go!
Feeling good, just tired. Feeling lots more movement the past few days.
For those keeping score (there was a thread about this a few days ago but now I can't find it), my placenta is posterior this time (was anterior last time!).
I am still really not feeling great about the whole "we need you to come back so we can get a clearer picture of the heart" thing. I know I need to stop obsessing but I can't stop thinking about it right now, since I'm having a slow day at work.
I think i'm going to go call my doctor actually and talk to her about it and what our options are.
I am 17 weeks today. I am actually contemplating calling my OB today to see if I can go in for a Doppler check. I just don't feel this baby move much at all. Even with my first I was feeling a ton of movement at this point and even earlier with number two and three. I am really worried there is something wrong.
Grace that's how I felt... it was really only last week (19), that I started feeling her... I would call if it would ease your mind though - you could also have an anterior placenta that is subduing the feeling of movement - I had that last time!
Hi @JSS1002! Happy halfway mark! I agree you should call your doctor and maybe ask to come in earlier, but I'm sure everything is fine.
I'm officially in my third trimester! I've been feeling nauseous the last few mornings and I'm hoping it's just stress and not morning sickness coming back. I'm also starting to get some pelvic pain and rolling over at night is getting harder. My next appointment is on Tuesday and I’m still waiting to hear back about my glucose tolerance test.
I wouldn't go into my actual doctor for the scan - that's at MFM, but I would like to hear her perspective on how worried I should be about this -- or maybe she'll say that I should call the place back and go in for the scan in 3 weeks instead of 6. 6 weeks just feels like a really long time to feel this anxious.
I will be 18 weeks tomorrow I just started feeling baby movement this past week. I'm very impatient for my A/S on May 5th even though we know it's a boy but I need conformation!! I feel ok..I did end up gettin the stomach virus Ella had last week and I couldn't eat for 3 days which wasn't fun..my nipples are beyond sensitive (if only my boobs would grow) I'm kind of having anxiety all of a sudden about having 2u2 but hopefully it will pass.
Still really early here. Have my first appointment next week to "confirm the pregnancy." wth... I'm certainly not NOT pregnant. Nothing like an unnecessary blood test to start your morning! Still feeling fine. MS kicked in at six weeks last time. Currently 4w5d.

Yippee! It sometimes feels unnecessary, but with both pregnancies, the "confirmation" appt is where they've also checked my progesterone and found it to be INCREDIBLY low and started me on supplements right away, so I was always really glad I'd gone through the blood work!
So... I didn't call my doctor but I called one of my best friends who is a neonatologist within the same system (u of mn) where i had the ultrasound the other day. I asked her just how freaked out she thought I should be and she said - "I'm gonna give you the 100% honest truth. It is extremely hard to get a good picture if heart and mouth at 20 weeks to begin with -- way harder when the woman carries belly fat. Even normal weight women have belly fat so if you're carrying extra weight it is near impossible sometimes to get a clear enough Image. Docs are too embarrassed to say this to women sometimes. I know the doc who did your scan results and he's amazing but would sooner die than tell you that. He's also incredibly thorough so no way was he letting you out there without being able to see the arteries perfectly."
I am so relieved - I've never been do happy In my life to have something be blamed on my weight. I am overweight to begin with, plus I'm carrying my weight differently since having James plus have had a baby and a c section so no wonder they couldn't get a clear enough scan.
She said "now that doesn't ensure that once they get the results there won't be issues because that is always a possibility but I wouldn't worry and in would assume that he's being thorough and that if he had concerns he would tell you -- we are risk averse and wouldn't keep info like that from a patient".
I love stalking these posts! H and I are officially trying...hoping that the time is right this weekend b/c he is gone every week traveling for work so getting knocked up maybe more difficult this time around:( @arschm02 sending you vibes too!
I will be 33 weeks tomorrow. Only 6 more weeks to go as I have to have another CS due to having one with Anya. I am doing ok but he is getting so heavy its hard to walk and do things around the house. I cant wait for the 6 weeks as we are ready to complete our family and for Anya to finally meet her brother. She has to know something because eveyday she lifts my shirt, rubs my belly and then lays her head on my stomach and gives it a hug. Maybe she doesnt but I also think so LOL.
