Finally going to see my OB for our first appointment. I will have my ultrasound first and then meet with the doctor. I am so excited to finally see our little tadpole and get the reassurance that I need!!

OB appt and U/S today. In like 4 hours. I've already been up since 4am just pacing back and forth getting the nerves under control. This will be first visit since cramping/spotting last week. Be still, my anxious brain!

MrsDramaK

I have my second scan on Friday, will be 9 week and 2 days.  So nervous and excited.

No appointments for me this week but I wish you ladies all the best at yours!

OB visit tomorrow, then U/S Wednesday. I'm hoping we see the two weeks growth I need to relax a bit!

I'll certainly be thinking of you @Gingersnap. Keep us updated!

OB visit and ultrasound this Wednesday. I will be exactly 12 weeks which is when we saw no heartbeat with the last baby. Praying for good appointments this week for everyone!

My first official appointment is Wednesday.  I will be a day shy of 10 weeks.

I'll have my NT scan on Friday morning.

2nd scan is tomorrow morning with my RE. Really wanting to see that both babies have grown and have strong heartbeats. I haven't been stressing at all these past 2 weeks, but now that the scan is so near, I'm starting to feel the nerves.

I just gave up about 12 vials of blood - it's a good thing we have extra while we're pregnant! I requested that 1 of the tests be run as cash and not billed to insurance which took them at least 30 minutes to figure out. How hard is it to just send me a bill!

Appt tomorrow at 0930 to rule in/out miscarriage. Honestly I'm just ready to officially know one way or the other. Praying all your appointments go extremely well!

Thinking of you!

First appointment with my MW on Wednesday!  She said they probably won't do a u/s but will have me come back in two weeks.  I was a little confused because when I booked the appointment they said I would be getting an u/s.  I think I need to call and confirm because if I end up getting a u/s I really want DH there to see it.

@lap018 sending lots of good vibes for your appointment tomorrow!

I finally have my first prenatal tomorrow at 1! I am friends with the MW and asked her if she was on call tomorrow-she is. So I'm praying it doesn't get cancelled! I am so ready to see/hear this little beebee!

I had an appointment today, mostly just for peace of mind to check in on the baby.  Luckily everything went well.  Heartrate looked good, and the baby is actually measuring 6 days ahead of where I should be.  Good news all around! 

Good luck to everyone else with their appointments this week!

I have to get blood work done this week for an NT scan next week. However, I am having a hell of a time trying to get my insurance to disclose the cost of all this. Several hours of phone calls later all I got is "you might have a co pay when you get there." Uh, ok.

MonaLisaRalphio

@GlitterDragon interesting that you have to go in for a blood draw for your NT scan! I just have to do a finger stick and put the blood on the card they gave me and mail it in. 

AliJorgensen29

I have an ultrasound tomorrow. I'm excited to finally see the little bean and hear the heart beat!

glitterdragon-2

@MonaLisaRalphio man that would be nice. The most irritating part about it is finding somebody to watch my kid.

TW. Going in tomorrow due to bleeding. Feeling especially nervous as this feels like a repeat of my MMC in January. Gah.

Knottie16288692

My appointment was moved to today because of bleeding and slight cramps! I'm so nervous 

poofwok

Fx crossed all is well @homemake and @Knottie16288692!

birdiejo

Thanks @concreteangell . Heartbeat sounded good, now for the next 3 weeks of anticipation til my next appointment.

Appointment today to check on a small SCH the doctor has been monitoring. It's getting smaller and is almost gone! Glad to be back on the "see you in four weeks" train rather than the every two.

Sending good wishes and hopes to all the ladies with spotting and other worries this week!

I have my 1st appointment with the midwife tomorrow and I'm literally having nightmares. Nothing has been wrong but I'm so worried there won't be a heartbeat. I go back and forth between being super excited and terrified something is wrong! So I am deep breathing rn.

1st pregnancy, 1st visit. They won't do a US until 20 weeks unless they can't find a heartbeat.

joyful08

I was super anxious going into my appointment today. At my 12 week appointment last pregnancy is when we found no heartbeat. Baby is measuring 3 days ahead with a great heartbeat and wiggling like crazy! What an amazing feeling. I wish all you ladies the best with your appointments this week! 

HeatSparks

Saw my OB today and got to see my babies wiggling around on screen. Looks like di-di twins for sure. Still crazy to me to see two of them up there. 

Double the worry hasn't been fun, and I don't know how I'm going to make it 4 weeks til the next one.

First OB appt is tomorrow, 9w6d. I had a dating ultrasound a few weeks ago. I'm so anxious going into these apps! 

MrsDramaK

Guys, my follow up US is tomorrow at 8 AM.  I'm going to get zero work done today because I'm so anxious/excited.

Vastra

Had my NT scan today, and everything looks great! The fold is a great size, nose looks perfect. Blood work will be back in 10 days. (At one point I had thought that some bw they did weeks earlier was for the genetic screening. It was not. They were throwing tons of info at me and I was new and dumb and confused.) 
I've been having some nutso anxiety dreams about these tests, and I can rest a little bit easier now. Lil' groundhog was moving around, throwing jazz hands and basically already being awesome.
