What will it entail? I think just standard OB appt for 20 weeks. My weeks are slightly off since I didn't start seeing her until almost 9 weeks originally and each appointment has been every 4 weeks since.
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? I feel pretty good lately. I am starting to feel the effects of my hips widening again, and back strain. The warmer weather has been helping my nausea though. Something about the vitamin D maybe?
When is your appointment? Wednesday morning bright and early!
How far along will you be? 23 weeks and 3 days
What will it entail? I'm seeing the high risk doctor to (I assume) do another ultrasound to check to make sure that my SCH is indeed gone. They saw a spot in the baby's stomach on the AS and think it is a calcium deposit. She is going to check that out too. This is my 6th ultrasound...we joke that our baby will be a model because he likes having his picture taken!
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? Physically I feel pretty good. A few nagging pains here and there, but nothing extreme. Mentally, I am ready to get this doctor's appointment over with because it is just making me worry!
When is your appointment? Today w/ob and wed w/sono
How far along will you be? 21 weeks todY
What will it entail?OB just general check & Wednesday with Sono to check placenta placement since it was low when they did AS 3 weeks ago...hopefully it moved
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? I feel great and now that I and others can feel baby my anxiety is much better
What will it entail? Regular appointment with my OB, then A/S at the hospital.
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? Very good, actually! I seem to be sleeping a bit better and apart from general aches I'm feeling good. Baby girl moves a lot so my anxiety about how she's doing is lessened and I haven't felt the need to pull out the doppler in a few weeks.

When is your appointment? Tomorrow morning and Wednesday morning.
How far along will you be? 19w2d tomorrow.
What will it entail? Tomorrow is my AS! Can't wait to see this little monkey because I still don't know if I've felt any movement. Wednesday is just my monthly OB checkup.
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? Amazing! I've had so much energy the past few days. My only crappy symptom is that my body is pretty sore. Back, legs, butt.
What will it entail? Finishing AS exam - come on LO, let's cooperate!
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? I've got a terrible cold/cough and cannot stop coughing so I'm feeling like crap from that. Otherwise, I'm anxious about the appointment because I always am. Hoping LO cooperates and all looks well.
When is your appointment? Friday June 9th....69!!!!
How far along will you be? 19w 4ish days
What will it entail? A/S followed by reg appointment. i am worried he is now a she and i need to get all my clothes back.
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? emotional would be the best word for me right now. i wish movement was more regular bc i am that in between where everything is easing up symptom wise but movement isnt very consistent. although i did just get a kick. thanks buddy!
3. Anatomy scan at the maternal fetal medicine office and an appointment with their doc afterwards.
4. Relieved to know what these babes are, but still anxious and hoping everything looks good Thursday! Overall feeling ok, just back aches and tired easily. Like @jessafishy I'm feeling them move a lot, so that has decreased so much anxiety. Honestly, just starting to get anxious for the upcoming months and the unknown (bed rest? How early they will come? How big I'll get and tired I will be). I'm a planner, so all of the unknown has been hard!
When is your appointment? Friday June 9th....69!!!!
What will it entail? A/S followed by reg appointment. i am worried he is now a she and i need to get all my clothes back.
Lol made me giggle. I'm such a loser haha. Also that is my fear as well! Since I didn't exactly see it on the screen and all I have to go by is the photo she printed for us. But I go back soon for another growth scan/ so I won't have to wait too long to confirm.
What will it entail? Anatomy scan and then appointment with OB
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? constant soreness in the lady parts region. IDK if its because he's so low compared to how I carried my DD or what but plan to bring this up. Also glad that my DH will finally get to come meet our new doctor.
My A/S still isn't for another WEEK! Sending good vibes to everyone who has theirs this week. I too am afraid that my Harmony results were wrong and I've been telling everyone this baby it's a girl when really it's a boy. Need some human eyes to confirm it. I'm also anxious because our A/S with DS had some scary findings that turned out to be nothing, but I'm just hoping everything is good and healthy with this one.
What will it entail? Finish the anatomy scan too! They couldn't measure her heart at the last appointment because she flipped on her tummy in there and wouldn't cooperate. She was being stubborn just like her mommy Her heartbeat and everything was normal so I'm not too worried. I can't wait to see her though!!
I think I'm going to take my glucose test too since i'll be there.. and an as an excuse to not go back to work. hehe
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? I feel kind of nauseous. I think me and BF both caught a bug and my stomach is still not feeling right. Other than that, I am just so tired and can't get enough sleep!
When is your appointment? Had ultrasound this morning and followup with OB/GYN tomorrow afternoon to review US report.
How far along will you be? 18w3d today
What will it entail? This morning was my anatomy scan. I'm a little worried because the radiology department called this afternoon and asked me to come back in again in 3 weeks. I'm hoping just because this was an early AS and they didn't get everything??? The scheduler who called didn't have many details and I'm waiting on a callback with more info.
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? Feeling good but tired, trying not to worry about every little thing!
When is your appointment? tomorrow morning is my A/S and then I have an appt with a psychologist about 1 hour later.
How far along will you be? 21 weeks What will it entail? I wa surprised to see a psychologist appt reminder in my mailbox. I have a long history of depression and some mild ppd with my last pregnancy so it's probably not a bad idea. How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? Hormonal and tired. Baby is kicking more and no further bleeding so I am not so anxious. But every little thing and I'm in tears. It's hard to know what is just hormones.
@tsa208 Yes, hopefully there were a few shots they weren't able to get. That happened to me; I went back today to finish (3 weeks after the initial AS) and the tech was able to get a view of his face and all is well. They could also be scheduling a growth scan; that was a possibility for me because I have a peripheral/marginal cord insertion. Fx it's just follow-up!
We were able to finish the AS today despite LO again having body parts in front of his face - first his legs and then the hands. He was a lot more active today and is breech so I could feel all the kicks on my bladder once he uncurled - it's cute now but can only imagine how uncomfortable that will be in a few weeks! Everything looked great with his face and he's measuring in the 67th percentile for size despite my cord insertion, so I was relieved!
When is your appointment? It was today at 5:20pm but we waited over an hour!
How far along will you be? 21.5 weeks
What will it entail? Anatomy scan/gender reveal!!!
How do you feel in general ( symptoms *or* thoughts)? I was super excited and hoping everything would look good and baby would cooperate so we could find out gender. Everything looked great and baby did...it's a BOY!
@bluejeanbabi05 Thanks for asking! I was just coming on here with my report.
They did another ultrasound and didn't see anything of concern in LO's stomach or anywhere else. The Peri said that most likely what they saw was blood he swallowed when I had my big bleeding episode. It was gone yesterday though! We got some really great pictures of him (and they did a couple 3D ones too!!!). For the first time probably this pregnancy, I'm not totally worried and it feels so good.
I hope everyone else had/has a successful appointment too!!!
GL for appointments today and tomorrow ladies! I hope everyone had smooth visits this week.
Me: 31 DH:35 TTC #1: March 2011 Fur-children: 3 dogs + 2 cats (all rescued) dx: Endometriosis and Fibroids 2 Laps and 1 Abdominal Myomectomy 6 rounds of clomid 5 rounds of iui IVF #1 Gonal F, Menopur and Cetrotide ER 12/1/2016:Retrieved 22 eggs 12 fertilized, developed moderate OHSS 4/4 day 5 embryos were normal for PGS!!! 2 boys/2 girls FET 1/10/2017 Gallbladder surgery 1/10/2017 FET 2/2 BFP 2/7/17 Beta#1: 594!!! Beta#2 1630!!! Having a girl! EDD 10/21/17
I'm at the obs office ready to get this 3 hour glucose test started. Im hungry, I have a caffeine withdrawal headache and it's FREEZING in here. Even with pants and a jacket on. Why do they keep it so cold???
@bluejeanbabi05 good luck with your test! Let us know how it goes! I hate cold offices too. Our office is always freezing! Yesterday I had my heater on at work and the girl next to me had her heater AND her heated blanket on lol. Some of the men were even complaining about how cold it was so it wasn't just us!
I'm back to report! My AS was awesome. We got so lucky because our tech was super sweet and walked us through everything that she was looking at. Had us look away when she went down towards the genitals which absolutely killed my husband.
A different doctor then my OB took a quick look after and came in to talk to us. She said that the baby looks great! Baby is measuring 6 days ahead. We will see if my OB moves my due date up in 2 weeks when I see her again (saw her yesterday for my monthly appointment but she didn't have the results).
We did find out that I have placenta previa though but it's only partial so they think it's going to move as I get bigger. I'll have an ultrasound to check it around 30 weeks. If it hasn't moved I'll have physical restrictions and most likely have to have a c-section
@dumbledoredies I have the same situation going on with my placenta too. I'm hoping it moves.. I hope yours does too! My OB said its barely a preview and it should move... and since I have no bleeding I should be fine. But a c-section scares me...really giving birth in general scares me.
@ariz17 I haven't had any bleeding either! I'm right there with you on being scared of giving birth. I really don't want to have a c-section.. like at all.. but at the end of the day if my baby is healthy then that's all that matters! I hope both of our placentas move lol.
Our anatomy scan went great! Baby A was moving all around like he usually does. Probably because Baby B was chillin and all spread out taking all the room I'll post pics later in the ultrasound thread. Hope everyone is having a good appointment day/week!
I just got home. OB had to bring her 6 year old with her to work and it was the most adorable thing ever lol. Her kid stayed in the side office but it was cool seeing her as a mom. She's been my OB for over 10 years.
Baby is doing fabulous. Strong HB. Next appt is my monthly growth scan on the 29th. Then on July 7th the glucose test. That will be the first appt I have to bring my girls too. I asked and they were like "absolutely , well put Netflix on for them too" love how family friendly they are.
He is still a he! And my placenta is in the front but high and far from my scar so no special hospital delivery for me! They handed me the paperwork for the birth certificate and I booked out to 32 weeks. Eeekkkk!! Things are moving!
Baby girl cooperated on Friday, so they we're able to get a good look at her heart. Although I had to ask the doctor "does her heart look fine??!" He said yes. I think this guy is like all business and no fluff.
Bad news my placenta hasn't moved yet but they said it was still pretty early. I asked the doctor what would happen if it didn't move and he said that it doesn't move by 36* weeks I'll have to have a c section at 37 weeks which would put my delivery date in September! Noo!! I want to stay here.
@ariz17 you can stay here!! Also- why do they do an early c-section if the placenta doesn't move? If I have to get a c-section 3 weeks before my due date then that puts me super close to my sisters wedding lol. Ahh!
@dumbledoredies Thanks! I'm not going anywhere. Would you sisters wedding before or after? Either way, ahh! The doctor didn't really explain put what I'm finding from Dr. Google is that the placenta is / can potentially covers your cervix which can block the baby's way out. It also says that the placenta can bleed while your cervix dilates and that's no good either.
I have a follow up with my OB at 2:45 today to check on the babies and get a referral to the cardiologist. Hopefully she'll have some good advice about how much water I should be drinking short of all the water in the world, and whether I might end up needing bed rest, etc.
