When is your next apt ladies?

Plleriti1

I go in next Thursday at 11 weeks for my first physical check with my OB. Then my first genetic ultrasound a week later. When is your next apt?

cammlyn

We go Wednesday. I will be 7w4d and it will be our first ultrasound. And I am a nervous wreck. Like I want to be so excited to see our little one but I am having nightmares about there being no heartbeat.

Ugh October 12th soooo far away, that one is just a heart check with doppler.  I did switch it to two days earlier because DH was out of town and I've never had a successful doppler before :-\

Plleriti1

@cammlyn and @bntfroggie I have all my fingers and toes crossed for happy apts for both of you!

bntfroggie

@Plleriti1 you too :-)

cammlyn

Thanks girl you too. As my husband says we are crossing fingers toes legs arms eyes and hairs lol

Next Wednesday, exactly 8 weeks, for the first u/s. I would have booked it a few day sooner, but we're going out of town. I suppose that will be good for me, to try to get my mind off of it a little bit, instead of feeling like I'm just waiting.

I'm really not optimistic at this point. No matter how prepared/expecting I am of bad news, it just doesn't seem to help. A big part of me wishes I would just have a miscarriage if it's inevitable, so I don't have to find out at the u/s. 

The only thing making this at all easier is that we know the reason (my husband has a chromosomal abnormality that can cause miscarriages), so I'm not freaking out about everything I am or am not doing that could be causing it!

I'm not even going to schedule an appt with my midwife until i'm 9 weeks. (She likes to see you at 10). Trying just to consider that the point that i'm "actually" pregnant. At this point i've just gotten a positive test.

Ps- sorry if my sig is screwed up.

I go tomorrow for my 8 week appointment. It will be my third ultrasound (had a minor freak out yesterday when I had NO symptoms and they got me in for a quick check for a heart beat to stop my panicking and then one at 6 weeks as well), but first appointment with my doctor. I am still super nervous though... It was at this appointment when we learned our first had no heart beat and had stopped growing. Trying to stay positive and excited to get another picture of the little peanut!!

Keeping all of you in my thoughts for great appointments!!

October 7th - I'll be 10weeks+4 then. I think we'll do the MaterniT21 test then too. Anxious but so glad we've passed the mark when we lost our baby last time. Everyday I'm still constipated I'm grateful that baby is doing well.

Only the best wishes for all of us, mamas!!

Skydance

@Plleriti1 I have mine next Thursday too at 10w4d. They will do a blood draw for the prenatal test too! Can hardly wait - as per my usual complaint I don't have any major symptoms to keep me staying sane but I've crossed my mmc milestone from last time! @Katieelliott0501 let us know how your appt goes, fx for you! @kimey1 hahah totally with you on the constipated grateful feeling!

cmerribury

I go back 10/28 for my 18 week ultrasound and appointment. Long wait.

borgahurst

I thought this time would never come but we have one next Wednesday (glad to know I have some appt buddies!) for our 20 u/s. We have heard the HB twice since our last u/s but we haven't seen her since week 9! I am doing all I can not to completely freak out about all the possibilities.

nram25

I go next Tues. for my 30wk app and u/s.

Good Luck everyone!

BKNJN

I go back on 9/30 for a 12w ultrasound. I've had one at 8 and 10 weeks. Both showed a strong heartbeat!!

I am still so cautious. Wednesday could not come soon enough!

cmerribury

Good luck on Wednesday, @BKNJN!

ALC08

Wow looks like next week will be a busy one around here! I go in on friday, tech said it would be my first official ob appt. I have never made it this far. Anyone want to give me a heads up on what to expect?

kimey1

@ALC08 Congrats!! How far long are you? Sending you good vibes!

Plleriti1

@ALC08 In my past full term pregnancy, my first ob at included a pap and general health questions, etc. and listening to the heartbeat with the Doppler. It was a pretty quick apt. I'm assuming mine on Thursday will be similar.

bntfroggie

@ALC08 Mine was also quick, they will do a pap and ask you questions and let you ask any you have.  Good Luck!!

ALC08

Thanks @Plleriti1 @bntfroggie I am 10 wks +1. Baby was measuring a week ahead at 8 wk appt. @kimey1

kimey1

i have my 10+4 appt in a week and a half but I've been to 2 appts already. @ALC08 They'll prob take a urine sample, blood pressure, temperature check, u/s, blood sample if you're doing genetic testing? Sending you good vibes!

Katieelliott0501

Appointment went well today! Baby continues to grow and has a strong heartbeat. My ob was great too- said that I can come in every 2 weeks instead of every 4 weeks (at least for the next few appointments) so that I don't get so nervous between appointments. I included a picture of our little one- a little blurry, but a baby!! Crazy how small it is!!

Fingers crossed for all of you with appointments coming up!

spatter1

So glad to hear about your appointment going well! I had one this morning too and everything looks good! baby is right on track at 9w5d and had a good heartbeat at 175 bpm. The doctor said everything looks exactly as it should so that we great to hear. I actually cried a little bit I was so relieved. I'm trying so hard to hold on to this good feeling as long as I can! Not sure when my next u/s will be but I have my 12 week appointment in 2 and a half weeks (my doctor doesn't do u/s though, have to go to a special imaging place for them). Trying to stay positive with this amazing news and hope everyone else has great appointments this week!

amberhobson

My next appointment is on Wednesday. I should be 7 weeks and 5 days. We saw the baby's heart beating at my last ultrasound two weeks ago but baby was tucked in the corner. I'm hoping everything goes great this week.

rojabonita

I go tomorrow 9/30. Looks like there's a group of us! This will be a milestone appointment. Hoping for a strong heartbeat. Everything looked good two weeks ago. I'm a ball of nerves. Good luck to everyone!

huskerfan246

My next appt is Oct 7th, I will be 12w4d. I am really excited to see my little one and even though this will be my 3rd u/s I am still very nervous. I passed a milestone with each u/s so far and pray it continues!

BKNJN

U/S went well today!! Baby was healthy and moving around. It was a NT u/s and the preliminary results look good! Hope everyone else that had appointments today gets healthy reassurance!

rojabonita

@bknjn Yay! Love hearing great news.

Plleriti1

@BKNJN Yay! What a great milestone to pass! Hopefully this brings you some peace with this pregnancy! My initial NT scan is Tuesday morning! But first- check up with the OB tomorrow after work. I'm going alone since my husband is leaving to go out of town and that's making my anxiety rise since we discovered my last mc while he was out of town and I was alone at an apt.

BKNJN

Thinking of you @Plleriti1

amberhobson

My ultrasound went great today! Baby measured 8w1day. Good luck to everyone!

MandyMost

My ultrasound went (totally unexpectedly) great! It measured at 7 weeks 5 days, and a healthy heartbeat, which is only a day or so off from what I thought! I'm still in shock. 

ALC08

Fingers crossed @Plleriti1 , I'm expecting good news!

rojabonita

We had a great appointment.  We are at 8w3d. I cried as soon as we heard the heartbeat.  I'm so relieved.  I go back in two weeks for a feel good check up.  From here on out it's uncharted territory. I'm glad to be past my milestone mark. 

Thanks for all the support!

BKNJN

Yay!!! @rojabonita @MandyMost @amberhobson

borgahurst

I am so thrilled to see so many positive results!

Things went well for us today too. Baby girl was all curled up though and refused to move so we have to do another u/s at my next appt in four weeks (oh darn).

But she was measuring right at about 20 weeks, was 11oz, had the right amount of amniotic fluid, 150 heartbeat. And seeing those little hand and heart beating away was glorious.

I can't wait to hear about more positive results this week!

Plleriti1

This is such a happy thread. I love it!

BKNJN

It's so fun to see how quickly the baby progresses! Next appointment is in 4 weeks.

kimey1

Yay for lots of great news. Looking forward to my appt next week to be a positive one too

Skydance

Yaayyy! Congratulations to all of you! Loved seeing your nuggets and reading good news, prepped me positively for my appointment today. And boy am I thrilled! Baby measured right on target - in fact two days ahead, but we are sticking to same EDD so 10w4d it is! Heart rate of 165 and peanut was moving about so cutely and waving
