I have a regular OB check tomorrow. Heartbeat, weight, questions, etc. I think she will give me "the drink" so that will also be coming up. I don't expect anything too exciting unless I get a talk about weight. I have no idea if I've gained a lot, but my belly has grown a lot and totally dgaf while on vacation. We shall see.

I have an OB appt on Friday. I should come off of pelvic rest now that my sch is gone. 14 long weeks! 

lexidawg

Fetal echo on Tuesday. Routine for IVF babies. I don't expect any surprises since the A/S went well.  My mom is coming with me so it will be the first time she gets to see her grandson!

echo-charlietango

@morgantu Happy OB visit tomorrow!

@gorgeousariel Yay, so happy that SCH resolved itself

@lexidawg Exciting that your ma gets to see the baby this week!

I have a quick appt on Wednesday…maybe. I know I’m drinking the drink for breakfast, but honestly forgot if I see my OB afterwards. I’ll figure that out soon. I hope I do see my OB, just because I want to see how much I weigh, and I want to hear LO on Doppler. His movements are still unpredictable, but I just suppose he’s going to surprise me often and I should get used to it.

AdorkablePixie

I have an appointment in Tuesday. We’ll just be listening to LO on the doppler. 

@lexidawg That’s exciting your mom gets to see baby.

@gorgeousariel So glad that SCH resolved itself!

@lexidawg We had our echo on the 9th and it was super similar to an anatomy scan (they even did all of the sizing again) just more heart shots and lots of audio of the heart. We are going back on the 6th because they want some clearer images and audio but he said he doesn't suspect any issues! Hoping yours goes smoothly and they get all the imaging and audio they need! And yay on your mom going!

@gorgeousariel I’m so glad it resolved! 14 weeks! I bet you can’t wait

@katy0990 our 5yr anniversary is Friday and DD is going to spend the night at Grandma's Saturday night. 

erose625

Thank god for call reminders, I definitely thought my next checkup was Thursday but it's actually this afternoon! Excited to hear baby's heartbeat on the doppler since the movements I feel have been so inconsistent. 

ab_canada

I have the GD test on Wednesday. FX I pass the one hour! Planning to eat some nice healthy protein for breakfast to make sure there isn't any reason for a "false" reading..

lexidawg

@mamajudec2018 Thank you for letting me know what it's like!  I am glad they suspect all is clear with yours!

mag1cbeli3ver

@gorgeousariel FX crossed they pull you off pelvic rest so you can really enjoy your night with your H
@lexidawg Good luck with your fetal echo tomorrow. Hope everything looks great!

Add me to the list of glucose screenings this week. I go for the 1-hour test Friday morning. I also have a regular OB check-up on Thursday to listen to LO and such. I'm also still getting infrequent movements like @echo-charlietango and @lippy625, so I'll be glad to hear baby bean's HB to know everything's okay.

binxybaby

Just drank "the drink.

So. Hyper.

mamajudec2018

@mag1cbeli3ver @binxybaby I hope your glucose tests go well! I've had GD since 12 weeks and wouldn't want anyone to have to deal with it!

@lexidawg Thank you!

PensiveCrayon

Not an appointment, but I got the call today about the results of my glucose challenge. I passed! Wooooot!

omnommer

@PensiveCrayon Woohoo! 

rosebud332

@PensiveCrayon Yay! I was wondering about you, I know you were a little worried about it. So glad you passed!

+1 for fetal echo this week.  (Thursday)  I’m a little sad that my DH will be on a flight to Mexico and missing it but Best Man duties call again!  Okay I am a little sad for myself that I will be missing Mexico too:/. 

lexidawg

I now have another leg ultrasound today right after my fetal echo.  My OB is back from vacation and wants to double check the blood clot situation since my leg swelling hasn't improved. I am sure it's fine and she is being overly cautious, which I appreciate.

AdorkablePixie

Good luck to everyone doing their GD tests this week!!

I ended up having to reschedule my appointment to next week.

mamajudec2018

@lexidawg Let us know how your fetal echocardiogram and leg ultrasound go!

binxybaby

They said they'd call/text me today with the results of my GD screening and they still haven't! Ugh.

lexidawg

Fetal echo was great. Doc said baby boy has the perfect heart .  Leg ultrasound confirmed no blood clot!  All is good!

mamajudec2018

@lexidawg Awesome news!

katy0990

@lexidawg I’m so glad everything went well!

Katzalia

@lexidawg yay!! Glad to hear the goodnews for both you and baby. 

echo-charlietango

Great news @lexidawg

I just checked in for my one-hour glucose test. I was a big ol’ moron this morning / last night because I forgot to re-read the instructions earlier. I was supposed to start drinking it at 8am sharp...not 8:18 like I did But hey, just listened to LO’s heart, my blood pressure is normal, and my new weight reflects current total gainz at 12lbs. Fitting today for a babe due on 12/12. 

erose625

What I thought would be a quick and easy checkup on Monday was not so quick!  My blood pressure was elevated and since this is the second time since I hit the 20 week mark, I have to do all the testing for gestational hypertension/preeclampsia. I'm doing the 24 hour urine test today and bloodwork tomorrow then back to the doctors in a week and a half. I'm not too concerned because it's only slightly elevated and I think it's a little bit of white coat syndrome but better safe than sorry. And I couldn't stay home from work today so the 24 hour urine test is super inconvenient. 

katy0990

@lippy625 I am sorry to hear that. I hope it is nothing. Good luck! Please keep us posted.

echo-charlietango

@lippy625 Bah, sorry about the elevated blood pressure - hope it's a fluke and not a symptom of anything more serious.

AdorkablePixie

@binxybaby When did you have it done? I didn't get my results for like a week, but mine was done outside the doctor's office.

binxybaby

The Bump app has been acting up for me the past few days. I ended up getting my glucose screening results 2 days later. They said they'd call or text and never did, but it was on my online chart so all's good. I passed by the way! Thank goodness.

AdorkablePixie

@binxybaby Yay!! Congrats on passing. That's a relief.

scaredunprepared

@lexidawg yay! Happy to hear the fetal echo went well and that your leg ultrasound showed no clot. I feel like I've been out of the loop for a while, but what was the reason they thought you had a blood clot in your leg? I'm sure you've answered this a million times so sorry!

lexidawg

@scaredunprepared I have swelling just in my left leg and foot that started after we drove from NYC to North Carolina and back!   Thank you!

scaredunprepared

@lexidawg ugh!  That's scary, but glad it's nothing!

orangecrush29

I had my 24 week checkup and glucose test Thursday. Checkup went great but I failed my glucose test  . I’m so bummed, but I should’ve just expected it as I’ve failed the 1 hour with all 3 boys. I’m just really dreading the 3 hour on Tuesday, it makes me feel so awful. 

@lexidawg I’m glad you don’t have a clot! Has the swelling gone down? 

@lippy625 fingers crossed your blood pressure being highe we just a fluke!! 

mamajudec2018

@orangecrush29 Hoping you pass the 3 hour test!

katy0990

@orangecrush29 I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t pass. Good luck on Tuesday!

scaredunprepared

@orangecrush29 bummer   Fingers crossed for your 3 hour.
