Re: GD Mommas...
I see my Peri every 2 weeks.
I get weekly NST's.
I get growth u/s every 2 weeks and an u/s weekly to check fluid levels.
I only saw the high risk OB (perinatologist) 3 times (DS #2 has a kidney defect). Saw the endo twice. Been seeing my OB weekly since 34 weeks.
Weekly NST's starting at 35 weeks.
Had a growth u/s at 31w and a follow-up u/s for kidney at MFM at 34.5w.

I started seeing my OB every two weeks once diagnosed, now onto once a week because I am almost 36 weeks.
I never got a NST.
I have a growth u/s at 38 weeks.
High Risk OB weekly
NST/BPP weekly
Growth every 3 weeks
No NSTs yet, but I did end up in L&D this morning for failing two kick counts.
No idea yet, I had one to check on placenta positioning last week.
Socializing foster puppies since 2009
Chart for TTC#2
I've never seen a high risk OB or any other specialist (except 1 visit with the nutrionist)
Never had an NST yet.
I had an u/s 5 weeks after my diagnosis. I have a BPP scheduled for 2 weeks after that appt (next week). I'm not sure if my BPP will include an NST as well or not.
they didn't send me to a high risk ob - just my regular one - i started seeing her weekly at 32 weeks and get weekly bpp's from 32 weeks on.
got a growth u/s at 33 or 34 weeks *cant remember!* haven't had another one of those since.
How often do you see your high risk OB? I have not seen a high risk OB. Just my regular OB and it has been every 2 weeks since 30 weeks until 36 weeks then it goes to once a week. I also have a nurse that calls me at least 2 times a week via a gestational diabetes monitoring program.
How often do you get NSTs? Haven't had one.
and finally...
How often do you get your Growth Scans/Ultrasounds. I had a biophysical u/s right after the diagnosis but I don't know when the next one will be.
I have type 1 diabetes, not GD, but it's the same idea.

I have a growth ultrasound at 36 weeks. Not sure what happens from there.

My appointment to see my high risk OB is when i'll be 34 weeks.. i was shocked they wanted me to wait so long.. but since i have my regular OB appointment today i'll ask my doc if that's ok or if she needs to call the hospital and have them see me earlier.
No one told me to do the NSTs yet.. plan on asking my doc about this today
Growth scan/ultrasound isnt scheduled until my 36th appointment..
my poor doctor will hear an ear full today!
I see a high-risk ob AND a regular ob. ?Between the two of them, I am seen twice a month and have very extensive ultrasounds done by both of them.
As far as the NST, I haven't had that done yet.?
How often do you see your high risk OB?
*I don't see a high risk OB; I see my regular OB and an endocrinologist...I got GD with my first pregnancy and was pre-diabetic afterward until I got pregnant. I see my endo once a month right now. I'm moving to OB appts every two weeks at this point. My endo began treating me with insulin as soon as my numbers started creeping up (I was already testing 4x daily). We did not do the 1and 3 hour tests; between my OB and endo, we treated this pregnancy as if I was diabetic from the very beginning. My OB says we've been doing a good job at keeping on top of things...we started treating higher numbers w/insulin probably a little earlier or right around the same time most women get the 1 and 3 hour tests. Prior to this pregnancy, I was on metformin.
How often do you get NSTs?
*I have a regular U/S at 32.5 weeks and will schedule weekly NSTs when I see my OB on the 18th.
and finally...
How often do you get your Growth Scans/Ultrasounds.
*I had the usual 12 week scan, one at 20 and one at 28 weeks. Everything is on target so far 45-50% percentile for growth.
