Re: ::April 2011 Moms Weekly Check-In::
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers?
I'm very lucky that my insurance covers whatever the dr. deems necessary. He also has an machine in his office so I will get a quick peek at each visit. I have to go out for the NT scan and I'm not sure about where I'll have the anatomy scan yet.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy?
I'm just starting to actually be hungry but just barely. I just do my best to eat healthier things when I actually get hungry. I know I need to drink more water too.
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today?
Pants that are one size too big but I spent most of the day in yoga pants that were so comfy.
I'd like to be added too!
SN: JSMFamily - Samantha
1. unsure about insurance, I currently don't have any. Applied for help from the state, but if that doesn't work out then it looks like we're gunna have a shot-gun wedding! yee-haw!
2. I watch what I eat (most days) and like to take walks.
3. A skirt with a U of M t-shirt on, GO BLUE! Only 8 days till kick off!!!
Add me please! Gina - due April 28th with #2
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? We will get a dating u/s, the NT scan, the anatomy scan and a positioning u/s towards the end. My insurance covers them all.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? Started prenatel vitamins the day I got my bfp (was taking a multi-vitamin before) and am drinking TONS of water. I want to start a light exercise plan this weekend
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? Jeans and a black t-shirt (casual Friday)
Hey girl! I'm not on the list yet, so if you could add me to 4/27 - Kristin- that would be great!
QOTW:
1. one every 2 weeks until 12 weeks because I'm RPL & still under my RE
2. Working out 5-6 days/week (when I'm not too tired)
3. my school polo and jeans...love fridays:)
Uhhh yea, my EDD is April 24, lol. Pregnancy brain already? really?!?
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I'm not sure about ultrasounds just yet because I haven't had any appts. with the doctor. My first appt is not until the 17th of Sept and they will go over things with me then. My insurance is great and covers everything! $5 copay for visits and $0 for inpatient services when I deliver.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? I remind myself that right now my baby is the size of a blueberry and doesn't require the extra portion I would love to have. Also keep in mind that everything I'm eating, I'm sharing, so that has curved some of my cravings. I'm still working out 6/7 days a week though my pace at the gym has slowed down and I've modified my weights a bit in circuit and strength classes.
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? Khaki shorts and a long sleeve button down shirt. The weather feels a bit like fall today!
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I had one already due to spotting at 6 weeks. I have another at 8 weeks and one at 13 weeks- that's just with the fertility clinic to make sure that everything is progressing. Then I have one at 15 weeks (NT scan) with my dr. Then, finally, I have my anatomy scan at 20 weeks with my OB. Still two short of how many I had with DD! Thankfully I live in Canada and have great healthcare and I already paid up for my scans at the fertility center, so no costs there.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? Pilates once a week and walking with DH every other day. Also, drinking tons of water and trying not to cave into my cravings constantly!
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? Jeans and a t-shirt- I figure I better wear them while I can!
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I'm going through a CNM service that only does one ultrasound at around 20 weeks. I'm not positive, but it looks like almost everything pg related will be covered by insurance, which is nice.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? Eating more fruits and veggies, and more frequent, smaller meals. At least when I feel like I can eat anything
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I had my first ultrasound this week and my due date is now 4/10. I don't really know what my insurance covers, but we'll be getting the 1st trimester screen on 9/23 and the other standard u/s around 20 weeks.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? Trying to drink a lot of fluids. I finally got out for a nice long walk today. I hope to be able to do that more as long as m/s stays away.
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? Some loose fitting black pants and a casual top. Just hang out clothes since I was working from home today.

I don't appear to be on the list either. SN is jnmheim- Jesscia EDD 4/19/2011
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I have no clue when my first ultrasound will be. My first appointment is 9/2 and I will be 7 weeks. When I called my Dr. office, they said I will not get an u/s unless the Dr. feels the need to do one. My insurance covers 100% after my first $55 co-pay.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? Eating right, drinking more water, not drinking as much caffeine, joined babyfit.com and exercising.
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? The brightest orange tshirt my job could have possibly found and gave to us as a "Thank You" for being great
and a pair of jeans that I had to have a hair band hold together the button because of the "bloat" ugh.
An angel opened the book of life and wrote down my baby's birth, Then she whispered as she closed the book, "Too beautiful for earth." ~Unknown We lost our "Squishy" to a m/c on 10/06/2010. He/she went to heaven with my Dad and our Heavenly Father.

Hi, everyone. Please add me to the list.
SN: businesshog; EDD: April 15
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? Viability ultrasound scheduled for Sept 15; insurance will also cover the ~20 wk ultrasound

3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? jeans and a silky blouse
1. I think I'm just getting 1 ultrasound, maybe? I think the nurse at the OB said I'd only get 1 unless there was a reason for another one.
2. I'm working out all the time still. I figure I'll start feeling crappier within a few days, and I don't want to slack off at all until then.
3. Jeans. Always jeans when I'm not at work.
1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I will be getting the IPS ultrasound at 12 1/2 weeks, and then I am guessing a 20 week and maybe one more. I'm in Canada so all is covered under health care.
2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? Sigh...I need to be doing a lot more in the exercise department. Food wise, I have done well, eating balanced meals most days. I have cut back a lot on the fast food (which has always been a weakness for me)
3. NPGR: What are you wearing today? Wore maternity jeans to work (can't get my regular jeans done up due to bloat and a black blouse.
Can you please add me to the list?

1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I've all ready had two ultrasounds and will have another one in a week. I plan on doing the NT and I will definitely have a 20 week u/s. I work in L & D and my co-workers often do u/s so I'm sure I'll have a ton of "unofficial" ones.

1. What ultrasounds will you be getting? Do you know what your insurance covers? I had an ultrasound at 5w1d. They saw a second sac, but no yolk, so i have another one on Friday to see if that sac is developing or not. Beyond that, I'm not sure. I also don't know what my insurance covers. I should probably look into that.2. What have you been doing to stay as healthy as possible during your pregnancy? I was very good about keeping up with my workouts until my morning sickness turned from nausea to vomiting this week. I will work out today and get back into my routine of 3-5 days/week.
