9 Month appt?

Oohgurl · January 2014

Has anyone had their's yet? J's is in a couple of weeks. I am wondering if we should have a sticky at the top so people can post their 'deets'.

Good idea. Ours is Feb 5th.

jedimindtrick · January 2014

Yes on the sticky! That makes way more sense than re-posting every week!

No 9 month appointment for us.

Just explain to your pedi that you need to participate in the Bump post. He will understand and happily charge you $200 for the appointment. /:)

I've just gotten used to monthly appointments... It's weird skipping a month!

I like the sticky idea. I never participate in the month appt threads because ours is always so long after everyone else's.

I like those posts, by the time we have our 9 month most babies are done. I like to see what's going on with everyone and what to expect from the appointment. Edit to fix

I agree.. A sticky would be the best! I'm sorry for not keeping up with the check-ins!:(

Oohgurl · January 2014

^you did great with the check ins, Sugarmomma! (yup, I just renamed you) I am surprised people already had appointments!

DiFazette · January 2014

Yes, we had ours last week.

Oohgurl · January 2014

Ok good. I am sure the mod will see this and make a sticky.

Our 9 month appt will include a big blood draw (but no shots!). I'm not sure if all pedi offices do it at that time.

caulkk88 · January 2014

9 month for us is no shots or blood draw!!!

Oohgurl · January 2014

After all the jaundice tests when he was a newborn they will likely have to sedate me if they ever need to do a blood draw on him now.

Our pedi plans to do a finger poke and the 3rd Hep B shot at the 9 month. Finger poke is to check her iron level. Some insurances do require a full blood draw to check their lead level. At our 6 month, our insurance didn't require it, but now that I'll have a new job, we will have to see.

jedimindtrick · January 2014

I know we have a Hep B shot at the 9 mo. He didn't say anything about blood but that doesn't mean we won't have that.

DiFazette · January 2014

We had no immunizations and no blood draw. It was more of a weight check and physical.

ZeeSunflowery1 · January 2014

I think it might be for lead and other stuff..but not totally sure. I suck at asking questions at the time of the appt.

My IRL friend told me about the 9 month draw (we go to the same pedi).... I'm not sure if it's a prick or a tube, but my friend seemed pretty traumatized. E had a spinal tap at 2 months, so if i can handle that I'm sure a blood draw will be fine.

Just FYI about finger pricks. My LO was sick about a month ago and her pedi wanted to check her white blood cell count. They did a quick finger poke and squeezed a bit, then it was over. I'm a huge baby about needles, but this was NBD. Didn't even require a bandaid. She cried, obviously, but got over it really fast.

Oohgurl · January 2014

Hmmm no sticky yet? @SaguaroBlossmom (Sugarmama) can you post the questions so our mod can make a sticky?

jedimindtrick · January 2014

Still no sticky? :-/
