I have my follow up A/S today at 3pm EST. Just checking to make sure the spine is okay because they couldn't get the shots they needed last time. I am excited to see my little guy again, though!

Fetal echo, also with a look at the spine. The fetal echo is the last step in ruling out different genetic disorders, so I am hopeful for a healthy result

Just have my monthly appointment at 8:55 EST so it should be pretty uneventful although I am sure my doctor will go over the a/s results since I haven't talked to her since then.

Sitting at the MFM clinic right now. Waiting to meet with my genetic counselor to discuss possible trisomy 13 and deletion 18. Will also have blood taken and an amino to confirm whether or not my son has genetic abnormalities. Hoping for the best but am preparing for the worst. Honestly wish I was anywhere else right now.

Hoping everything goes well for all of you lovely ladies.

@supgabs Saying a prayer for you. I hate that you have to go through this.

Monthly appointment at 2:20est (rescheduled after the snow storm caused it to be cancelled last week).

Good luck ladies! Keep us updated on the fetal echos and MFM appointments.

BMaidPlanner

Follow up to a/s also because they didn't get all the shots they needed either, but didn't tell me which. I told my Mother this and she reacted:

"Is something wrong?!"


...sigh.

shellbell813

Finally have my a/s today!

Good luck to all you ladies!!

@supgabs Big hugs to you. xoxo

**First off--> Prayers for you @subgaps ** Also, I have my first follow up today since getting out of the hospital a week ago. My dr said today we would develop a "more comprehensive game plan" regarding my placental abruption and contractions (which still haven't stopped while at home on bedrest...) A little nervous...

kibean

@supgabs everything crossed for you and tons of prayers

@bmaidplanner My mom said the same thing when I told her I needed to come back today for more pics...do they teach that kind of worrying!? FX things are fine and they just needed different shots!

Uptowngirl2009

Good luck everyone! I hope you have great checkups and scans!

Good luck today, everyone!  

Sending you tons of positive thoughts and ((hugs)) @supgabs!

Good luck everyone, especially @supgabs fx for good news.

AFM, my appointment was good. The doc said everything looked good with the baby during the a/s but said that I have a low lying placenta so we will have to do another scan around 28 weeks to make sure it moves up.

@supgabs T&Ps and hugs!!

Last minute appointment for me today at 4:30 pm CST. My heart started racing last night and was still racing this morning when I got up. That coupled with dizziness every time I stood up makes my OB want me to come in this afternoon to check my iron levels and blood pressure.

@supgabs, thinking of you!

Ultrasound at 11am PST to check on the bright area they found in Isaiah's stomach at my A/S two weeks ago. Praying it's nothing serious!

Just got back from my 24 week.  Baby girl is cruising right along.  She punched the doppler as soon as they put it on my stomach to check her heartbeat; Heartbeat was 152ish.  

I talked to my doctor about the class C beta blocker they had prescribed me.  I mentioned wearing a 24 hour holter monitor to see exactly what my heart was doing before I took the medicine and he agreed that was a good idea.  He also said that it's okay for my heart to beat in the 120's for an hour or so as long as it's coming back down.  I feel MUCH better now.  As of now my heart is manageable without having to take the meds.  I don't feel so bad when or if I do have to end up taking the meds because we talked for a while about the pros and cons of the situation.  So, all in all it was a very good appointment

T&P's @supgabs and for everyone else that has an appointment today!

Monthly check up at 4:30 CST today - a bit nervous because I never got a call after our a/s last Monday. I took it as 'no news is good news' but still just want to hear from my Dr. that everything is ok. Sometimes I hate that she's so laid back. 

Then we have to drive out of town for a funeral. Ugh. 

Good luck everyone! I want all good news for all of us!!!

supgabs - hugs and good thoughts!

MissBHaven1024 - keeping my FX for good news!!

Good luck to everyone today!

Thank you all for the t&ps!! I am home from the clinic. Ugh I feel like a lab rat. So apparently they found issues with chromosomes 13, 18, AND 21from my original verifi blood test. Super weird for how healthy the baby appears on u/s(despite the one bad kidney everything else is pretty much perfect). Typically if a baby has that many chromosome issues they either miscarry or have major birth defects. So that alone leads them to believe ther is either something up with my placenta or something up with me (possibly cancer). They gave me another u/s and baby boy was moving all over the place. He weighs over a pound and is measuring right on track. His heart rate was 145. Then they did the amino and a CVS. I hope I never have to do those again but luckily it was over quickly. Then they gave me a pap smear and then took a few vials of blood. Definitely not the most fun I've had but at least we will get a better idea of what is.going on with my baby and I. Really hoping my placenta is just dumb but I also would be okay with cancer as long as my baby is okay. Not sure if that makes me crazy or what..

wow wall of text. thank you if you read all that and thank you again to all of you ladies keeping me in your thoughts!

nunzchucks

@supgabs Please please please let us know the second you get the test results. FX for good news and no cancer!

Jennylou0604

@supgabs hoping they figure it out soon. Please keep up updated! I'll be sending thoughts and prayers your way.
