Re: Good ? To ask MFM?
My questions may be a little different, since I'm expecting triplets, but here is what I asked at my first appt:
Can I exercise?
Do I need additonal vitamins/supplements?
Do you recommend seeing a nutritionist/dietician?
Is bedrest a requirement at some point or only if medically necessary?
Is a vaginal birth possible?
At what point would they induce labor/require c-section?
Is having sex okay now and even later in pregnancy?
Should anyone having contact w/babies get Pertussis and Flu vaccines?
Would MFM deliver or would I need to see an OB as well?
When would I get my Rhogam shot? (I'm rh-, DH is +)
Is going to a chiropractor still safe?
What weight gain is recommend?
How will they monitor for TTTS (my 3 are di/tri)?
How frequently will I have appts?
I hope this helps. As I mentioned to another MoM before, bring a pen and notebook to write stuff down. You'll get a lot of information all at once. And be prepared for the selective reduction speech. We knew we wouldn't reduce, but hearing them talk about getting rid of 2 of our babies (with our trips, they suggest getting rid of the mo/di twins) was hard to hear. Good luck!
