    ๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€/๐—ฅ๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€: Our anatomy scan was on Monday and it was incredibly reassuring. Each appointment up till now I've gone in preparing for something to be off (thanks anxiety), but now it feels real somehow. She's actually in there and doing great as far as we can tell! All looked good, but she was so squirmy that we have to come back to get a better look at her heart.ย 

    On the other hand, I'm frustrated because it feels like my medical system has a set way of treating all women who are overweight. I had to do an early glucose screening (normal), automatically started on baby aspirin (BP at home is teetering on low, even though it's been high normal in office), and now they're saying that I'm going to get growth scans every 4 weeks because of my weight. No one has come out and said that I'm high risk, and truly I feel like my weigh has had minimal impact on my pregnancy. I'm walking and eating normally now that the nausea has passed--after loosing a few lbs in the first trimester I've only gained 5lbs. I understand that extra monitoring can only be beneficial, but I'm annoyed that the only reason for it is because I'm overweight.ย 

  • Options
    @fichey that must be so frustrating!
    I do actually get GD and from what I understand they do extra glucose monitoring when you're over the age 35 and I'm not looking forward to drinking that poison. I have to have extra monitoring also because of my size. I gain so much weight and I get so large and my babies are so huge I have to do NSTs and extra growth US because all of my babies have Macrosomia. They also require extra monitoring before and after birth. It's all very stressful.

    @sandy5693 I had an anterior placenta last time and I felt movement at 20 weeks. No one told me that I had one but I saw it on my NT scan results. I hope you have a great appointment today!

    @mia80 I have not really been enjoying telling people at work! I am cranky about having the same convo a million times (will you find out what youโ€™re having? Is DD excited? Etc etc)

    @daisyyyy I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! Iโ€™m in the same boat with not being able to sleep in my stomach. Itโ€™s rough!

    @kelly_mom_mimi Iโ€™ve noticed being out of breath more easily lately too. Hopefully itโ€™s just an adjustment period and it gets better.ย 

    @fichey that is so incredibly annoying, however youโ€™re also getting bonus monitoring for no real reason so thatโ€™s kind of nice.ย 

    @wileybliss I agree on the size thing, itโ€™s so inconsistentย 

    @aycul18 I am having the same flutters versus digestion dilemma. Even when itโ€™s like a minute straight Iโ€™m still like ๐Ÿค” probably gasย 

    @EmilyE13 that work thing seems extremely annoying and something you shouldnโ€™t have to be dealing with! Will they try to replace her asap?ย 

    @krysnicole1022 have a great appointment today! Thatโ€™s so cool that your daughter got to feel the baby! I canโ€™t wait for DD to be able to do thatย 

    @pangolindrome Iโ€™m guessing no GTKY because itโ€™s really hard to think of them after awhile and @EmilyE13 has been the one coming up with one every week! We could always do a separate GTKY thread if you have any ideas. Iโ€™m going to try to be better at that too. Also, +1 for hungry always!

Just my texts. Everyone else he gets his text sound but not mine. Itโ€™s been frustrating me because Iโ€™ll be resting in our bed on our 2nd floor and heโ€™ll be down in the basement so Iโ€™ll text a request or question or to help with the kids if theyโ€™re getting out of bed and I wouldnโ€™t get any responses. He finally figured it out last night. Heโ€™s been super supportive and helpful so he feels bad that it happened, but he also knows itโ€™s going to be a joke that he muted his pregnant wife for at least a bit.ย 

    Questions: When can they actually tell the sex? I didnโ€™t have many ultrasounds with my first two, but since thereโ€™s triplets, Iโ€™m have ultrasounds every other week start at week 16. Will they be able to tell them? Or week 18? Or will it not be until the week 20 anatomy scan? Theyโ€™re identical triplets so I figure they just need to be able to tell on one.
  • Options
    @jen_third22 I think they can tell as early as 14 weeks on a good ultrasound. We found out with my second at 16 weeks because I had to go in to MFM for some bleeding. The tech never actually saw the parts but she said after 25 years in the business she could tell based on instinct during the US. She was correct that it was a girl. I think with my son it was 18 weeks.ย

    Questions: Anyone else struggling with intrusive thoughts?
  • Options
    @krthouse yes to the intrusive thoughts. I keep imagining horrible scenarios and driving myself to heightened anxiety. I'm a wreck. Like my kid felt the baby push into her hand yesterday and today when they used the Doppler o had to hold my breath because I was terrified the baby died over the last 14 hours. It's bad. My doc seems to understand and has been doing quick scans for my sanity and having me come in more often.
  • Options
    @krthouse oh yeah, 1000% on the intrusive thoughts. I find it helps to acknowledge what they are, accept how they function, and keep going with your regular thoughts. It has taken some practice though.

    As a GTKY addict, I posted one. Iโ€™m thinking of making a document to put them on as I come up with more. I am very happy to contribute GTKYs.

    @jen_third22 Iโ€™m having identical twins, and they weee able to tell me the genders this week at our 16 week US.ย 
  • Options
    @jen_third22 I justโ€ฆ I am sure I knew but holy dog, triplets. I hope you donโ€™t mind me saying but if anyone told me in real life theyโ€™re pregnant with triplets Iโ€™d probably give you a dumb stare and say something like either โ€œholy shitโ€ or โ€œwoah.โ€ I donโ€™t know why I have such a strong urge to send this. Itโ€™s not related to anything.
    We will find out the sex at week 20, but thatโ€™s the first US since week 12 for me.ย 
    Still, dang.ย 
  • Options
    @amandax22095 Thanks! Thatโ€™s good to know. And congrats on identical triplets! What gender are they? Thereโ€™s no multiples specific threads here so I didnโ€™t know there was another identical multiples person around!

    @pangolindrome Just so you know, thatโ€™s the appropriate response. ๐Ÿ˜† I appreciate the responses like that from my friends the most.
  • Options
    @jen_third22 on some boards there are several folks with multiples so theyโ€™ll do a weekly or monthly multiples check in. I havenโ€™t counted up how many we have. I know you and @amandax22095 are but wasnโ€™t sure who else. We could also do a โ€œHigh Risk Check-Inโ€ which is also common but would include more than multiples. Open to everyoneโ€™s thoughts on it!
  • Options
    @jen_third22 theyโ€™re boys! I was fully convinced they would be girls ๐Ÿ˜…ย 
    @EmilyE13 I think a high risk check-in would be good!ย 
  • Options
    @EmilyE13 We could always try a high risk check in and see the response. I know Iโ€™ve seen others discussing being high risk.ย 
  • Options
    @jen_third22 when I first read your question, I was thinking that they might not be able to see the sex of all of them depending on their positions. But I forgot they are identical! So I bet there is a chance at 14 weeks. The boutique ultrasound places around have gender packages that start at 15 weeks.ย 

    @krthouse Iโ€™m struggling with intrusive thoughts too. I actually scheduled an elective ultrasound today to see if it helps me relax some on vacation next weekย 
  • Options
    Happy Friday everyone - just getting back from my early anatomy scan (16 weeks) and Iโ€™m so relieved everything looks fine. I do have an anterior placenta though which Iโ€™m sort of bummed about because I feel like baby movements would help my anxiety. For those of you who have had anterior placenta pregnancies, did you have a considerable decrease in movement? Or did it just take you longer to feel movement? The US tech tried to cheer me up by saying Iโ€™ll probably sleep better lolย 
  • Options
    I'm on my fourth anterior placenta and it absolutely did not prevent me from feeling movement early. I think they just say that to be reassuring because in some instances it can. I've had friends with posterior placenta not feel kicks until 20-25 weeks but I've felt them at 17 weeks. It's really difficult not to worry though. Soon enough you'll be like "calm down baby and stop squeezing my bladder!"ย 
  • Options
    So baby movements do help with reassuring you that everything is okay but on the flip side if there is a break in movement that causes panic as well. ๐Ÿ˜ญ
  • Options
    @krysnicole1022 thank you for this!ย  Yes, I knew it would be a double-edged sword but I'm so happy to hear it hasn't made feeling movements difficult for you.ย  Each thing that I think will help my anxiety only spurs new anxiety...lolย

    mia80mia80 member
    @sandy5693, I completely agree with @krysnicole1022!ย  You just find a new sort of anxiety with kicks!! lol

    I didn't have an anterior placenta with my son, but I also didn't feel kicks until about 21-22 weeks. Everyone is soooo different that's it's really hard to say how this will affect you.ย ย 


  • Options
    Thanks so much @mia80 - such a great reminder and I will simply be patient and see what happens.

    I promise I'm focusing on all the good news we got! :) The emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy is no joke.
  • Options
    @sandy5693 I had an anterior placenta and from 20 weeks on I felt pretty consistent movement. I never got the crazy limbs sticking out of my belly or really hard kicks but DD also just didnโ€™t move very much. Her umbilical cord was incredibly short and they said that happens if the baby isnโ€™t very active in the womb.ย
