GTKY: What have been the most surprising (good and bad) parts of this pregnancy so far?
Re: High Risk Check-In 3/21
How far along are you? 20+5
How are you feeling? Better! Had a bout of flu last week, but I'm getting some energy back.
Why are you high-risk? IC
Do you have any upcoming appointments or procedures? Anatomy scan next Monday
Questions/Celebrations? Tips for dealing with hemorrhoids? I had to go back on Zofran because it was compatible with my other medications, and it's tearing me up. Literally. I have the Tucks pads, and I own a Sitz bath even though I've never used it.
GTKY: What have been the most surprising (good and bad) parts of this pregnancy so far?
Good-baby kicks are more discernible and reassuring.
Bad-never anticipated how sick I'd be. DS was such an easy pregnancy in comparison. We are done after this baby, although we both would like 1-2 more.
How far along are you? 17w6d
How are you feeling? Still have morning sickness, but some days I feel good
Why are you high-risk? Heart disease, cardiac arrest, tracheostomy, seizures, pulmonary embolism, the baby has a cystic hygroma
Do you have any upcoming appointments or procedures? In less than two weeks we have a fetal echocardiogram with a heart specialist and we also have our anatomy scan. Anxious for those appointments
Questions/Celebrations?
GTKY: What have been the most surprising (good and bad) parts of this pregnancy so far?
Surprised at how sick I've felt, and surprised I haven't felt flutters yet since he's measuring almost two weeks ahead of me
How far along are you? 18 weeks
How are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part, a little more tired. Always eating!
Why are you high-risk? I'm having mono/di twins (identical/share a placenta) and they are the most high risk type.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or procedures? I had an ultrasound at 16 weeks and everything looked great and I joined a mono/di fb group and asked if I should be seeing a Perinatolgist and everyone said yes and was shocked I wasn't already, because they should be monitoring for twin to twin transfusion (where one steals nutrients from each other). The monitoring should be weekly or biweekly starting around 16 weeks and I can't get in to see the specialist until April 4 (19+4) and my OB appt isn't until a week later. My OB doesn't seem concerned and the specialist literally has no time before then. I'm a little freaked out I'm not getting the proper monitoring, because it's a pretty serious condition if it happens...
Questions/Celebrations? Should I be doing anything Else?? And my birthday is tomorrow. Yay!
GTKY: What have been the most surprising (good and bad) parts of this pregnancy so far? It's been pretty easy. I've always heard with twins it's worse but I wouldn't have even guessed I was having twins because I never was sick!
How far along are you? 18w3d
How are you feeling?good
Why are you high-risk? IC
Do you have any upcoming appointments or procedures? Cervix check on Monday. Also hoping that I don't have a fibroid.
Questions/Celebrations? I think I felt little Jack move. I will be so relieved when I can feel him and can stop getting the Doppler out every day.
GTKY: What have been the most surprising (good and bad) parts of this pregnancy so far? I got a positive test at 9dpo. That morning I had my hcg drawn and it was only 3.6. Technically not even pregnant, but obviously I was my hcg was just still low due to being early.
