  • @DunkinDecaf hope you have a great appt today! (And anyone else my awful brain may be forgetting today)
  • @princessandthegator im sorry to hear your appt didn’t go that well. Hang in there though, and hopefully your appts next week will
    show better news. Keep us posted! Hugs!!
  • @princessandthegator Thinking of you! Praying for you and your little one! 
  • I have to say I'm surprised to hear many of you ladies don't speak with a doctor the same day as the u/s. I just assumed that it was normal to have a doctor come in and review the pictures. I see a CNM but at the part of the hospital where the scans are done, there are doctors on staff to review the scans immediately and they give you the results whether there are concerns or not. When they found some concerning results with my last pregnancy though it was scary to hear, it was comforting to be able to sit down and talk to a doctor right away about it. My midwife then follows up as soon as she gets the results to answer any lingering questions if there are concerns.
  • Agreed @ummibtihaj I have my anatomy scan and NT scan at an Mfm (I think) office so they speak to me right after. Having to wait would drive me crazy!

  • @princessandthegator I am sorry to hear that everything didn't show as hoped. I hope that you get answers soon and that everything is okay. Try your hardest not to stress.

    Re: carrying on the last name
    I actually debated what to do with my maiden name because I was/am the last of my family line. I have my mother's maiden name since my dad wasn't around at birth. There are only 3 women left with our name (which includes my grandma and my grandpa's SIL). I debated taking my maiden as my middle, but decided to keep Rose. My grandpa called me Sammie Rose and I felt keeping that (Rose was his mom's name) was more important than his last name. I figure if we end up having another child I could always use my maiden as a first or middle name, it works well as a boy's first name. And I'm honoring my grandpa by using his first name as this baby's middle name.
  • @ummibtihaj- I originally has my AS scheduled so that my 20wk appointment followed the scan, allowing the doctor to review the scan with me at the appointment.  The scan was supposed to be done in the doctor’s office, and if the appointments hadn’t been scheduled that way, I would have had to wait.  

    They ended up rescheduling the exam through the MFM office in the hospital, and so I had two different doctors review it with me same day.  
  • My AS I had a Dr come in after and give the quick version of what they saw. Not 100% but I think I had a AMA u/s so the tech was able to say things like everything is looking good. Didn't hear about low placenta until Dr came in. I then had my 20 wk appointment scheduled for right after so if anything was found DH, midwife  and I could talk in detail and see what options we had etc. Was nice to chat about the low placenta and DH got approval to be able to 'catch' baby if delivery goes well :) 
  • My office also scheduled the doc visit right after the ultrasound. The only annoying part being I couriered the paperwork from One office to the other so I saw that they found a potential ovarian cyst and got to panic about that for the 15 minutes in between appointments. At least put the paperwork in an envelope right?
  • I saw the MFM doc after the u/s (which is in the MFM part of the hospital system.) He gives an update each time and then they send notes to my doc, and she'll call if she sees anything. There's no timing alignment between appts for us.
  • @princessandthegator I’m sorry you didn’t get great news, I hope the next appointment goes much better!

    I saw my OB after my scan and she told me they don't get all of the info from the us tech's for a couple of days so she's going to call if anything comes up but not to worry

    @jellybelly114 glad your scan went Well! When You said one picture was a bit creepy it reminded me of when the tech was looking at the babies lenses, definitely creeped me out!!! Their little eyes were definitely looking around
  • @mamabearcj that would def creep me out too! I was just surprised she printed that one for us. We tucked it behind the cuter ones on our fridge haha

    @jellybelly114 It's funny that you didn't like the face picture. Most people don't, but with DS I loved it. I actually asked for it specifically and called him our panda punisher. I thought it was creepy fabulous. I'm a little odd though. 

    Last time I had an anterior placenta and I'm AB+. Not sure this time as I've felt a few twitches, and I felt nothing with DS until 22-24w. But I also know what I'm feeling this time, which might be a factor. Our AS is 2w away. 

    I changed my name. But my H and I both had very Italian names, so I got to keep that. If he had been 'Jones' or something I would've been torn. Plus his is shorter and my maiden name was long! 
  • I am so jealous of all your anatomy scans but love hearing about them at the same time. I just found out today that my scan is scheduled for June 20th, which makes me roughly 21 1/2 weeks. Seems like it is so far away!
  • Sooo the ultrasound clinic that my OB uses would not schedule me for the anatomy scan any earlier than 20 weeks, not even 19+6. During my 20th week, the fella is traveling for work 4 of the 5 weekdays, and I'm going to have to leave a job early and we have to drive to the location that's twice as far just to squeeze in an appointment together on the one day he's home. Since this is my first kid, I just accepted that you had to wait until 20 weeks, but some of y'all got in early!

    I'm already nervous that fella's flight will be delayed and he won't make it home in time, and I really don't want to go by myself. 
  • Yay @cdepperschmidt! So glad everything is okay!!!

    Yay! @cdepperschmidt what wonderful news!
  • @cdepperschmidt thanks for the update and wonderful news!! One of baby’s kidneys was measuring around 4 and we have another u/s scheduled at my 28 week visit to see if it’s resolved itself. Love hearing that yours did!
