Appointments and Updates Check In
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Appointments and Updates Check In
How'd your appointment go? Not too bad. Babe is doing good, but is measuring at about 37 and a half weeks. Found out today that I have Bac. Vaginosis, so starting on meds for that tonight. Also the higher BP was back today, but had a fight with MH last night, so that maybe why.
Any other important updates? Nothing important.
How'd your appointment go? My appointments are tomorrow. I will have my first cervical check and the other normal ob check stuff, then a NST and u/s with my MFM
Any other important updates? Not really
What week are you in?
Week 37
How'd your appointment go?
Appointment 1 this week went okay. Lost another pound but fluid is finally up to 13.1. NST went great and they didn't have to buzz the baby awake. After a weekend of horribly painful contractions, they checked me and I'm still at 2 cm dialated.
Any other important updates?
This is the longest I've ever been pregnant. DD1 was 17 days early, DD2 was 19 days early. Today is 16 days to my due date. Due to all our high risk issues, they're not letting me go past next Friday. So I have a week and a few days to get this kid out before they induce me. And I hate pitocin. But they say he's better off out and looking at NICU time than in and looking at all the bad risks we'd be taking.
What week are you in? 35 Weeks
How'd your appointment go? Just got back. I'm 2cm, very soft (like butter), and at zero station. He can feel her head and told us not to have sex (not that we are). She has lots of hair
Any other important updates? I feel like crap.
Week 35
How'd your appointment go?
Everything went great yesterday. Had our last sono and was told everything was normal and she has enough fluid. And that she's all arms and legs like her father.
Any other important updates?
No updates at the moment. Just contemplating on some butter pecan ice cream...
How'd your appointment go? Good except for the cervix check. Winced even more than last time, and wasn't even dilated.
Any other important updates? We finally made our last trip to B.R.U. Sun., and only have two things left to receive tomorrow and Friday.
My appt was on Monday. And it went ok. My bp is still up. But they don't seem concerned. They did an ultrasound and a NST and the baby did well. She was happy as can be. The dr even turned the 3d on to confirm her girly parts. Lol. She hid her face though. : They also did the strep b test. Does anyone know if they will call with results? Or is it a no news is good news deal??
What week are you in? 37
How'd your appointment go? Mr dr is an idiot. After insisting 2 weeks ago that my RCS had to be at 39wks and telling me he would schedule it with the hospital, I found out yesterday after my apt that he hadn't followed through with the hospital, they are short staffed (no duh, it's 4th of July weekend) and it has to be pushed back to Monday 7/8. That's closer to 40wks like I wanted so it isn't a huge deal, but ugh! he just drives me bonkers!
Any other important updates? He thinks baby might have returned to head down. And my cervix is high and tight.
Weeks: 36 + 3
Appointment Status: Seemed to go well. Still at a 3 and 70% effaced. She said my cervix is really soft and that it has moved anterior. I reported the contractions I started having yesterday and she didn't seem to want to rush me off to L&D since they were still irregular/disorganized.
Other updates: This weekend we got some of the last few things we need! We got our video monitor and changing pad. Today I got my memory book pages in, so I can start filling some of those out! Last thing I'm still trying to figure out is my breast pump. I'm trying to find a medical supplier that carries the one I want and accepts my insurance.
Okay. Have protein in my urine that doc wants to monitor so I'll go back on Friday.
Pretty much it. So far, uneventful which is good
My appointment was yesterday evening but here it is:
What week are you in? 38 weeks and 5 days today
How'd your appointment go? It would have been great to see MY Dr. but the one that was in still did a ok job this time. The nurse almost gave me a heart attack when she weighed me and said 195... She quickly corrected herself, yeah... I didn't gain 31 pounds in 1 week thank you very much (only 1). Baby's heartbeat sounded great, membranes were stripped and I was still 3cm (same as Sunday in L&D). However I forgot to ask about effacement.
The Dr. offered to schedule an induction... Seeing as I don't have a medical reason to do so I declined and stated I would like to have it happen as naturally as possible (i.e. without pitocin). I assume he only offered because I have been in early labor so long without true progression, but I have high hopes the membrane stripping gave me that little push I needed.
Any other important updates? Since having my membranes stripped 21 hours ago I have had A LOT of cramping, sharp pains and contractions but nothing strong enough or close enough to send me back to L&D for now. From what I read about it typically you will know within the first 48-72 hours if it is going to do anything... So as of right now I am keeping busy so I don't sit and watch the clock.

How'd your appointment go?
Well.. No progress at 35 week appt so OB cancelled this one. I'll let you know next week :
Any other important updates?
Not so much. All is quiet.
