Appointments week of October 3

NiceyMeany

The last few of us have anatomy scans this week, right?  I go on Friday (YAY!).  Anybody waiting until next week?

I have a regular appointment Wednesday but I'll finally (hopefully) have an EDD nailed down so I'm excited. I'm between fruits at the moment and it's driving me nuts!

I have an appointment with my family doctor tomorrow since the fertility clinic screwed everything up and did not make a referral to my ob. (I will get to see him when I am 29 weeks) 

I am 22 weeks on Tueaday and I haven't had a regular full appointment yet so this is it. I don't think there is much to do yet but I know the GD test is in a few weeks.

Edit I had my anatomy scan early in September, haven't seen a doctor about it but the tech said things were ok. I hope everyone who is having their anatomy scans this week have a great appointment and that all the babies co-operate.

I have my a/s on Tuesday morning. @NiceyMeany, hope this week flies by for you!

Finally have my anatomy scan this week on Thursday!

Hoping everyone has a great appointment this week!

I have my anatomy scan on Wednesday! I absolutely cannot wait to see if baby Ethan or baby Willow is growing inside me. I'll be over the moon with either sex.

Anatomy tomorrow at 8:45, I'm all of a sudden a total nervous wreck!!!! I did the Verifi so I know it's a girl. Going to have them confirm just in case

Cute names!  @jennpearl007

Thank you, @kswiger06!

I have my A/S on Wednesday. Trying to remain logical and calm is proving difficult

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow. Hopefully the hospital will have forwarded them the report from my anatomy scan. They will probably tell me when my GD test will be (blah!).

Routine heartbeat-and-run appointment tomorrow. I'm wondering if they'll start talking about the 1 hour glucose test yet. I'm stressed out about it because I get lightheaded if I don't eat first thing in the morning. Really hoping my MWs are some of the ones that allow a protein-only breakfast. 

Happy A/S week to @NiceyMeany and everyone else going in! FX for healthy, cooperative little ones.

Finally A/S week! Mine is at 1pm tomorrow!! I'm so nervous since we skipped the NT scan haven't seen this little guy/gal since 7 weeks! Also made the mistake of showing DH an article where they claim the U/S are only 90% accurate at telling sex and now he's paranoid that they'll tell us the wrong one...

We've got a follow up appointment to check on little man's kidney and to see if he's going to need a shunt. We also get back some testing results form the urine they took from inside the baby and the amniotic fluid.

I'm no medical professional, but I'll say this-if they get "the shot," the sex is VERY clear. I was amazed. Hope it all goes great!

Let the record show that I do not have my a/s until October 14 at 22w2d as apparently my OB orders them between 22w and 24w. I am trying not to question her because she is the trained medical professional...but GAH! 

imalwaysme79

I have my regular monthly OB appointment on Friday. Pee in a cup + blood pressure + baby's heartbeat = good reason to leave work early. 

jkjjess627

I go next Friday. I had an emergency obviously visit this morning, I got a uti over the weekend.  She prescribed me an antibiotic, hope it works a get rid of it soon, I am in so much pain. Luckily we caught if in time and it didn't make its way to my kidneys. I also got to hear baby's heartbeat and it sounded perfect. I was very nervous something was going to go wrong.

Physical therapy appointment again this week but anxiously awaiting my anatomy scan next week. They don't schedule any sooner than 20 weeks so I have to wait.

@Patience7150 oh wow here I thought I was one of the last ones!!

NiceyMeany

@Patience7150 mine was initially planned for 10/14, too, but I had a scheduling conflict and they moved me up a week.  I feel your pain, girl.  The wait is torture.

I have an anatomy scan bright and early tomorrow at 7:45 followed by my 20-week check-up with the midwife. This will be the first appointment DH is going to, and he is so excited to see the baby. 

MissMerciBeaucoup

Anatomy scan tomorrow morning!!

UPDATE FROM LAST WEEK: I do not have gestational diabetes!!!!! Thank God.

Vastra

I had my anatomy scan in September, and this morning I had the heart checkup at MFM. Everything looks great, she doesn't seem to have inherited my stenosis. The only non-perfect thing was a small calcification, which they determined is benign, since they've already ruled out all chromosomal problems. (H decided that this was my fault for drinking too much milk; I had my OB appointment just now and they said that nope, drinking milk can definitely not cause that.) FX tht everybody had great anatomy scans! I found it to be super interesting and reassuring. You'll get some great images (including scary baby skeleton face!) and it may help you feel more connected to the baby. 

leslie1331

Had mine this morning and all looked well too!! Totally got the alien face shot too! The heart looked fine but they usually recommend a echo for IVF patients. So not sure if we are going to do that or not, seems unnecessary, but I'll see what the doc says! 

@Gretchypoo congrats!! Awesome news!! 

jstringfellow19

I go tomorrow for my A/S with a regular OB appointment right after. I can't wait to see how much baby has grown since my last ultrasound. Good luck to everyone with their appointments. 

JulesFo

@jkjjess627, ugh, I am so sorry. I had a UTI that just about got to my kidneys -- blood in the urine, etc. It was so painful, and I wasn't even pregnant at the time. Take care of yourself! I found myself more susceptible to UTIs for several months following that severe infection. Feel better.

expandcontract

Yay for everyone who received great results!! T&Ps for everyone still about go!

AliJorgensen29

A/s is Wednesday. So excited to finally see the little bean again! Also, checking to see if the dermoid cyst on my ovary has grown. Good luck to everyone on their appointments this week!

@cantalopes24, I hope everything goes okay for you and your little guy. 

@gretchypoo, that's awesome news that you don't have GD!! What a relief!

 I have to go back tomorrow for another ultrasound because they still couldn't get all the parts they needed last time. 

Xstatic3333

I had my 22 week appointment this morning! All looks good, with the possible exception that I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead based on fundal height. Very scientific research (polling my friends) indicates that this is nothing to panic about, though I do continue to expect and plan for a larger range baby. I also grabbed my flu shot.

Next appointment is the glucose test. For me, this booking this was the "sh*t's getting real" moment.  I was thrilled to learn that my MWs allow me to eat before the test as long as I skip carbs. Nobody likes a hangry Xstatic.

I had an appointment with a neuromuscular specialist yesterday after a referral from my OB. It was long and weird (mix of physical therapy and massage) but my pelvic and hip pain is down considerably this morning. It was so much relief!

MLRocha

Had my 20 week appointment this morning.  Typical stuff + news that everything from the ultrasound looked normal.  Next up, glucose screening in four weeks.

Meanwhile, I totally forgot every single question I had planned on asking while I was there.  I completely blank when the doctor gets in the room for some reason.  Guess I need to start making a list as I think of things.

MissMerciBeaucoup

Had my anatomy scan this morning and everything looks perfect!  So so glad!  And apparently, my cervix is a thing of beauty.  Ugh, thanks doc!??

scifichick09

Just got back from my 22 weeks as well. Also have my glucose test next month...no food allowed for me though I'm not happy about it. I'm taking that day off work so I either sulk or celebrate at the results lol. Also, Doc gave me a prescription for acid reflux/heartburn. The woman is an angel.

Yes! Doc said same thing at the organ screen today. Ooooh, anything over 5cm is perfect! You're at 6.5, so you'll definitely go the whole 40 weeks! Yes, DD decided to show up at 41 weeks, so I wasn't too surprised, but the Dr's happiness at the length of my cervix....ok?

MrsDramaK

I'm so anxiois for my Anatomy Scan Friday! I can't believe how long it feels like it's been since I made this appointment

I'm jealous!! I have this completely irrational fear that mine is short.  I had my scan at the MFM at the local children's hospital (my doc uses them for a/s) and they said everything was fine.  But, still haven't talked to my OB.  So I am assuming I am fine, but I all of a sudden got this fear mine was too short!!

If it's not one thing to worry about, it's another

expandcontract

@leslie1331 is their a particular reason why you're worried about the length of your cervix? Did you have any procedures done, or did a doctor mention it to you in the past that you have a short cervix? 

leslie1331

@afkash not really, which is why I need to calm the F down.  We did IVF and the RE changed to a smaller forcep thing (seriously can't think of what it's called) and said that I had a short and narrow cervix. Then my sister had an incompetent one and had to have a cerclage done. So I think it's a combination of the two that has me worried. I might mention it to the OB when I talk to her just so she knows!

Went in today for another blood panel and a holter monitor, Dr. just wants to rule out any abnormal causes for my dizziness/breathlessness/fainting spells. Follow up on the 18th
