Re: First Appointment Thread
What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? Having my DH there with me. I want to include him in this process as much as possible.
What questions will you be asking? I want to ask about diet and nutrition. I eat a pescatarian diet (fish, shellfish, and all seafood is the only animal meat that I consume) so I am hoping to discuss that in detail.
GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? We do not have any children but my dog is my baby
September 14th
What are you most looking forward to at your appointment?
Same as you, @Mel90412 , having my DH with me!
What questions will you be asking?
About her c-section rate, episiotomies, what food rules to really follow, and if there are specific types of PNVs she recommends (specifically if they should include iron). At least, that's so far.
GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have?
This will be my first. We want at least two, but then we'll see how we feel after that.
What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? Hearing my doctor confirm that the baby is there and has a heartbeat! If I m/c again we will be one and done.
What questions will you be asking? Having GD with my first pregnancy I want to know how soon I should do the glucose test.
GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have : 1 daughter, aka Chicklet, who just turned 3 in July. We would love 2.
When's the appointment date? Monday Afternoon
What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? I guess having the doctor confirm that I'm really pregnant so my mom will believe me... Lol
What questions will you be asking? If there are any midwives in the area. The nearest birthing hospital is an hour drive away from us and this is a concern for me.
GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? I'd like to have three. This will be our first. We will see how one is and take it from there
When's the appointment date? Sept 29th (how the crap am I supposed to wait that looong?! Agh!)
What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? Getting confirmation since, despite the BFP on the pee stick and pretty significant symptoms, I still can't believe it!
What questions will you be asking? What my risk is of having preeclampsia again and how they plan to keep me alive this time :P
GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have? We have one amazing little dude who is turning 2 in a few weeks. After all the complications I had with that pregnancy, we weren't planning on a second...if I end up needing a CS again, I will have them tie up my tubes while they are in there and my husband is making an appointment to get snipped at his next check up.
What are you most looking forward to at your appointment? I look forward to knowing when I'll get my dating ultrasound. That's the thing I want the most right now. To know there is a little bean and that it is doing well.
What questions will you be asking? I've been through this 2 times now, so there's not much I feel I need to ask.

What are you most looking forward to at your appointment?

What questions will you be asking?
Probably just when can we schedule our first ultrasound. Since this is my second I just can't wait to see the little peanut on screen.
GTKY: How many children do you have and how many would you like to have?
We have one DD this will be our last. I would like another but DH just wants two.
TTC#2: BFP: 8-23-15 MMC: 10-29-15
DD 2: 9-15-16
DD 3: 9-16-17
Looking forward to the confirmation, u/s and my husband being there, and finding out our exact due date. (Coming off the iud removal and never had a period).
As far as questions, I'm going to ask about the testing they do. Seems like a lot has changed in 8 years. Also, I'm going to have another C section, so I'll ask about that.
I have one DD who is almost 8. This will be our last. Two is good for us.

What questions will you be asking? Not totally sure yet. I'll probably have plenty of questions but for now just wanting to know baby is in there and growing normally.

What questions will you be asking? Since I had a scheduled c-section with my first due to high BP and his shoulder size (not going to fit coming vaginally) I'm going to ask how likely I am to have another c-section.

My POAS test is tomorrow at 10 am. Then I schedule the follow up initial ob appt. then they will refer me to a real doc. I'm native so I go through IHS and the clinic i go to up here is a joke and poor excuse for a facility. First baby I got stuck with several large bills and super inconvenienced and sent on wild goose chases constantly. I shouldn't complain but still. Being pregnant is hard enough!!

Just for it to be "real". I'm worried about a false positive or a chemical pregnancy.
