I have my bi-weekly appointment this afternoon along with a growth ultrasound.  Can't wait to see this little guy again.  I also plan to ask about a rash that I've had for about 2 weeks on my thigh that is driving me batty.

got my next OB apt on wed. Going to ask again about scheduling that csection. last time she said 'a month before... so april'. welllll its april this time lol. And it'll be 6 wks till csection wk so why not?! do we really need to wait till literally 4 wks prior lady?!

also have our hospital tour this weekend. but my mom came down with a stomach bug this weekend. and she holds illnesses for daysssss. so I don't know if I want her watching ds. so if mil can't watch him, we might have to skip it. Guess its not the end of the world. I'd rather miss it than any of us get that right now with me so far along.

Follow up OB appointment on Wednesday with my regular doctor since she was out last week when all the blood pressure issues started manifesting. Hoping to pick her brain on being induced and what her take is on the BP issues. I need to get my TDAP because they forgot to do it last time so I'll probably have them stab me while I'm there as well.

Chiro update:
Won't find relief for 4-6 weeks .... relaxin is an issue.
He suggests me coming back between now and then, even though those appt are only going to feel like a 'quick fix' they will help in long run.

Nothing shows as permanent damage, but he doesn't know how my back was pre-pregnancy. Post baby will give him an idea on what to do going forward. He said I'll likely need a few appts post baby, just to ensure all is good but no red flags.

We'll see what OB says.

Appts this week -
Tomorrow is OB appt. I find out if I'm pulled from work at the end of the month or not. I'm also on the 2 week appts officially

Starting Thursdays, my H and I have prenatal classes. I'm kind of excited and anxious about it.

NST and OB appointment this Thursday! Hopefully get to schedule my c-section at this appointment. Would be great to just have it on the calendar.

MH and I are going to twin-specific parenting class tonight. Should be interesting! 

Austenista

DS has his first appointment with his new pedi tomorrow. I'm hopefully optimistic while also dreading his shots for him. 

mytinc

DS1 has to get shots at his appointment next month @Austenista - He's not going to like it.  I envision a trip for ice cream afterwards.

Austenista

@mytinc I'm also thinking of a trip to Chick-fil-a and an ice cream for him after. I'm glad he isn't old enough to dread it himself yet.

I have my regular OB appt tomorrow. Going to find out if they are increasing my appts or keeping me on every 4 weeks until 36 like they do with everyone. 
And I have to do my 3 hour glucose test sometime :-( 

@catlady1215 @LaceyBee522, FX they will schedule your c sections!!

ramennoodlegif

3-hour glucose was today. FX that I even get the results this week; not too impressed with my OB office in terms of timeliness. 

lisa2589

32 week appointment tomorrow, my first biweekly appointment. I’m not expecting anything too exciting, but bringing DD with for the first time in months so FX her recent interest in Doc McStuffins and giving her animals “checkups” works in my favor! 

izza2

Well. Got the call from my OB. Failed the 1 hour glucose, and have to find time to get the 3 hour done.
Saw it coming, but it still sucks.

@izza2 Boo

elsie42

Sorry @izza2  

dinodna3

Boo @izza2, good luck at your 3 hour. 

FX for good and timely results @kfren

doxiemoxie212

I have a prenatal massage and acupuncture this week! I completely forgot until I looked at my cal this morning. 

emiliadkay

@kfren @profmcgonagall @izza2 Staying hopeful for good 3-hour results for all of you, and easy scheduling and quick results at a minimum.

@LaceyBee522 @catlady1215 Excited for you to have your c-sections scheduled (hopefully!). The countdown is about to become so very real.

pupsicle23

Good luck to those with 3 hr appts! Sending good vibes.

AFM I passed my GD screen but have to go back for another blood draw bc my white blood cell count was double what’s normal. So hopefully I just was still getting over whatever happened last week, and it’ll be down again when I get a second draw. 

ramennoodlegif

Sorry, @izza2. Hope next time goes better!

izza2

@pupsicle23 - Yay for passing the GD screen!! FX your WBC count goes back down with your next draw!

mytinc

Hope you pass the 3 hour @izza2! 

AFM, growth ultrasound went well yesterday.    I showed the OB my BP readings that I've been taking at home, and she agreed they're a little elevated, but so far she's comfortable with those numbers (I have a history of pre-e).  So overall nothing new and exciting.

lisa2589

32 week appointment was good. LO’s heart rate started out around 140, then she gave the Doppler a swift kick and accelerated up to 160!  How’s that for an abbreviated NST?  

MissKittyDanger

@2589 LMFAO!
My OB had to turn off and on the doppler 3x because LO was too active to get a proper reading. It was only 155bpm but felt like it was like a damn circus going on in there so I'm surprised it wasn't higher lol

ramennoodlegif

Well, looks like my placenta hates me again. For the third time running, I've got the diabeetus.  

lisa2589

Dangit @kfren!! I’m bummed for you 

aharv77

@kfren So sorry! At least you're in the home stretch!

mytinc

I'm sorry @kfren. 

catlady1215

ugh so sorry @kfren

marcus7676

I'm sorry @kfren! 

catlady1215

ds still hasn't taken in more than a spoonful of pedialyte at a time, so he won't be going to school tomorrow. I'm sad i'll have to cancel my OB apt I wanted to schedule that csection. she's only in on mons and weds, so i'm not sure what she'll have me do. maybe mon? then back the following wed?

mytinc

@catlady1215 - When you call to cancel today's appointment, can you ask if they can schedule the c-section over the phone?

catlady1215

@mytinc i'll probably ask, but I can see my dr just saying ' oh we'll do it at my next apt.' I'll also be talking to the receptionist or nurse, who will relay the msg to me... even if she does schedule it. and one time she mentioned fri the 25th. I wanted to be there to push for thurs the 24th (still 39 wks), cause I want to come home sun, not Monday.. memorial day.

izza2

I'm sorry @kfren!!!

stephcat421

Sorry to hear@kfren!

momac1919

I'm sorry @kfren. I had to go through it last time so I know it's no fun...at least you know it's only temporary and you're in the home stretch

amys614

Dang,  sorry @kfren Total bummer. You're in the home stretch though!

pupsicle23

Sorry to hear that, @kfren

I was supposed to just pop into the OB tomorrow to get blood drawn for WBC count, but my OB called and asked how I was feeling. I told her I’ve been having headaches and threw up bile again, and now she wants to see me. She said it should be this week, and now I have a real appt tomorrow. 

Dr. Google is no help, does anyone know what she’s looking for? 

starla487

I don’t have an appt until next Thursday. I almost feel spoiled to be at work so much.

But my twice weekly NSTs start in two weeks so...

Come play in the GD thread, @kfren! Right now it’s just me... all by myself.

amys614

@pupsicle23 sorry, I dont know what she is looking for, but maybe she just wants to have a look at your for herself. How high are your WBCs? Sorry if I missed it somewhere. My friend had the same thing happen during pregnancy minus the vomiting. Her WBCs would run at about an 18 to 20. Her OB referred her to a hematologist bc she didnt find anything herself. My friend was totally fine, nothing wrong with her. He told her an increased WBC can cause headaches in itself. They came down within a month of delivery. Hope you get some answers tomorrow.

I had a frustrating appointment this week. I was rotating doctors and met with a male doctor during my appt yesterday. He measured me and said I was 32 weeks. I have also gained 4 pounds in the last two weeks (not eating any different or unhealthy). I just turned 30 weeks yesterday so I asked him why am I measuring so big. He kept insisting that I’m almost 31 weeks and it’s no big deal. I said no I just turned 30 weeks today but he kept brushing me off. I’m nervous to measure big bc my son was 8 lbs 11 ounces. I think I’m just getting nervous with us getting so close but still I wasn’t a fan of this doctor. I made my next appt with my doc and I have an ultrasound next month. Anyone else measuring big?
