Check in: Who has an ultrasound and/or doctor appt this week?

CandEChicago

Realized that I missed last week's check-in (Sorry!).   

So who has an appointment this week? How are you feeling? What are your thoughts leading into this appointment?

I have a regular OB appointment tomorrow. I am afraid of the lecture I will be getting due to my weight gain over my vacation but overall I am feeling great- still waiting for movement.

Me. 3hr glucose test and 17 week checkup long morning but I get to schedule my a/s when I'm there

feeshah

Oh! Me! Me me me! I almost forgot. Lol. I have one this wed. It's my first 2nd trimester check up. No ultrasound this time but they should check the heart beat (swoosh swoosh swoosh)
and go over labs. I'm excited.

I do! I do! My a/s is on Wednesday. Hope baby is healthy and I finally find out who is in there!

mrsjensparks

20 week check up and the anatomy scan tomorrow. I'm a nervous wreck! Why???

Cheekers2010

Me, too, @mrsjensparks‌

Meeee! Anatomy scan is in Wednesday! Super excited to see baby because I haven't seen him/her since 8 weeks and I'm really looking forward to seeing a baby instead of a smudge!
Also hoping they will be able to see what sex it is but it'll be another week till we actually find out. My boyfriend works out of town and won't be home till next Tuesday and I don't want to find out without him

I had my ob apt on Thursday of this past week. But on Tuesday of this week I have the biopsy on my thyroid - eek. 

That does not sound like fun at all.  Hope your results come back good!

18 week on Tuesday and a/s on Friday... I always have to make a list of my questions, otherwise I forget

BayCamp

A/s on Friday! Can't wait to see my little guy again. Last time was in the ER during a threatened miscarriage scare, so I'll be happy to see him under better circumstances.

Me! A/s on Tuesday. I am excited because this will be the first time DH will be in town for an appointment. He hasn't gotten to see this LO yet. I think it will be a huge reality check for him. (This LO is a total surprise and DH has been less than happy about the pregnancy. He is trying to get excited about it and I think actually seeing the baby will help a lot).

I am finally done with the nausea, but I am a little paranoid about my blood sugar. I am getting headaches and feeling floaty if I eat or drink something sugary. Maybe I am just extra sensitive to sugar right now but I am definitely going to chat with my doctor about it and set up the glucose test ASAP. I didn't have any issues like this with my previous pregnancies and typically have low blood sugar issues. Something just feels a little off.

GL to everyone else! Here's hoping for happy news and fun inside baby pics!

@gradschoolmom1234‌ I will be sending positive calming thoughts your way on Tuesday. It will be over before you know it. (Yay for anti-anxiety drugs! They have gotten me through more than one random medical procedure.)

18 week check up on Thursday with the practice's midwife. I'm hoping to talk him into checking the sex on ultrasound since my anatomy scan is still a couple weeks out... I also just want to see this little one, it's been awhile!

Ahoutby

We're finding out the sex tomorrow!!! I'll be 19 weeks, 3 days. I can't believe I'm almost half way there!

melkeeney

16wk apt Tuesday! Can't wait. We are hoping that our Dr. can tell us the sex ( we know we are getting an US). We are also moving this coming week so it has been hard to take it easy.

aggiejenn37

Regular OB appt tomorrow, and anatomy scan Tuesday! Ahh! So excited to see my little princess! (Also a little nervous that they will tell me it's actually a prince! Ha!)

RyanAndNaomisMomi

A/S on Wednesday i'll be 20 weeks!!!!!
Can't wait to find out what we're having this is baby #4 have one boy and two girls right now so kinda hoping for a boy but will be happy either way

I really hope it's nothing, but it's good you're getting things checked out. That can be a symptom of low blood sugar as well. For me if I'm low I get shaky and irritable. If I'm high I feel floaty like you describe. Everyone is different, though, and it may not mean anything.

Going back to my new midwife practices office this morning since my OBs office never sent them my records before my appointment last Friday. Just an appointment with the nurse though, I see the midwife next week

aeseager

ME! 20 week appointment and anatomy scan on FRIDAY! This will be my first ultrasound. I am so excited to see the baby for the first time. I worried that something is wrong since I haven't felt movement yet. Just want to know the baby is ok and hopefully find out the sex too!

Cadg0986

Welllll we have round 2 of trying the anatomy scan on wednesday lol. Let's hope baby cooperates for the entire shebang. He/she picked/chose was they wanted to cooperate for 2 weeks ago lol. Hoping since I am a few days shy of 20 weeks the baby will just cooperate. Haha

kellyo0131

Regular ob appointment on Tuesday.  I'm excited to hear LOs heartbeat.  Still waiting on movement so hopefully I can start to feel it soon.  I can't wait for the anatomy scan next month!

BrainCellSup

Good luck everyone! @gradschoolmom1234‌ you'll get through this just fine--hoping for positive results from the testing. (Positive in terms of outcome. Well, you know what I mean!)

youngcollegemom

Me. On Tuesday. I have an appointment with my OB & my pap smear was abnormal so they will be sticking a microscope up my vajj. Lol. & I think some blood work. She want to check my kidney function...

Idk. Kind of nervous.
Just trying not to think about it. Or I'll make myself sick again.

Annaess26

I have an ultrasound in an hour :-) SO is coming with for the first time too!!

Its the anatomy scan but it will be kept a secret until august for the family sex reveal party :-)
**ugh why did I sign up for that haha**
Soo excited to see the LO!!!

dianeg1017

3d ultrasound today! Can't wait to see what team we are on!

nbateman5

20 week ultrasound tomorrow to check baby girl's anatomy! Been feeling movement here and there, can't wait until I can see/feel from the outside!!!

Heidig14

I have my a/s on Friday! I cannot wait! I will be exactly 20w, but I'm so nervous they won't be able to tell the sex. I just can't wait to see my little bebe. This will be my first ultrasound since 7w.

LinziLoo09

@gradschoolmom1234 - I hope your biopsy results come back clean and pretty. I'll be thinking of you!

I have a 20 week prenatal visit on Thursday with a pap (ugh). DH insists on going with me to all my appointments, so he's developing a real appreciation of the uncomfortable crap us ladies have to go through on a regular basis. I look forward to watching his creeped out face during the pap lol. 

And I have the a/s ultrasound on Friday. Hoping everything is healthy and good in there! I was told by the ultrasound tech at my urologists last week that the baby is a girl, but I'm looking forward to my more official verification on Friday. Woot!

ElaVee

Regular OB appt on Thursday. Nothing out of the usual there. I had some testing done at my last appt so they'll probably mention those results. Then I have my a/s on Friday. That's what I'm really looking forward to!!

goatlady12

A/S tomorrow.  I can't wait to see this tiny ninja again!  Last time was at 7 weeks so it will be fun to see baby move around and actually look like a baby this time.  I hope everything looks good.  Also hoping to find out the sex, I'm so sick of calling the baby "It" or "Baby." 

I'm so tired, I think I'm going to have to cave and get a pregnancy pillow.  Are they all they are cracked up to be?

kristinerenee

I have my first high risk doctor appointment tomorrow. Nervous about the appointment but I will be getting an ultrasound done and we will hopefully find out the sex! Yay!

amedbery

16 week appointment tomorrow, looking forward to the reassurance that everything is fine in there. Planning to push them on the whole waiting til 24 weeks for A/S bullshit they told me last time. Wish me luck!

Eliz77

I have my monthly o/b appointment Wed, a hematologist appointment Fri and the anatomy scan next Monday. If all that goes well, we'll start thinking about a registry! 

My PgAL brain has been obsessively trying to feel movement, and aside from a couple flutters, not feeling anything. No idea if the flutters were real or just muscle twitches/gas bubbles. I think if I can just feel movement, PgAL brain will cease a bit! 

kelseakay91

I do, my 3rd appt. Waiting on my second ultra sound

Jessie333

We have our anatomy scan on Thursday. I am so freaking excited to see our LO again. Plus, we will be finding out the sex if LO cooperates so that just adds to the excitement.

Irishm2b

Anatomy scan Thursday morning!! So excited since we haven't seen our little bean since I was 8 weeks. As long as baby M cooperates we will be finding out sex! I am kinda nervous that everything is going ok in there.

nopegoat

Regular appointment on the 16th and will schedule my a/so then!

ajlmom

Me! A/S tmr and appt with the NP afterwards. Finding out the sex and revealing with the family this Saturday!

bibliophiletory

our a/s is friday morning!!  i'm excited and really nervous.  like PP said, i haven't felt movement yet (at least not that i was sure of) so i'm just hoping that everything looks okay in there and they we're able to see the sex!  DH was able to get off work that morning so we can go to the ultrasound together and then go have a lunch date before we go into work (as long as the baby is cooperative and the scan doesn't take forever.)  i need this week to go by FAST!
