Just had my 34 week appointment. Apparently I've been measuring consistently behind (this is the first they've told me this) so they're sending me for a growth scan tomorrow. I'm trying not to worry but its making me so upset. I just hope baby is okay.
I have an appt today at 1pm cst. Going in weekly now because my cervix decided it was a good time to start shortening. Last week was at 1.6cm...hoping it's not shortened more, although I doubt it with all the contractions I've been having. Good Luck today everyone!
had a growth u/s this morning because my ob was worried i was small. i wasn't *really* worried, though, because all of my babies have needed them and it usually has worked out fine for me. i guess this long torso has its good points. it's always fun to sneak a peek at the baby, too.
baby eavie was actually measuring a week ahead and looked great! fluid levels were good so far (which was an issue for both my other babies) and she is definitely still a girl! i have been having neurotic anxiety dreams that she is born boy because this pregnancy is IDENTICAL to my son's. so here's hoping she makes her debut a couple weeks early like her sister and doesn't need to be evicted like her brother.
I had an appointment with my OB to check my sugar numbers and do a growth scan. Baby girl is 4 lbs and has hair! She had her face in the placenta and was head down, so I still haven't been able to see her face. I'll have one more weekly appointment and then start going twice per week to have NST and fluid level checks and make sure the placenta isn't disintegrating. Dr. said my placenta being abnormal could make the baby small, but my gestational diabetes could make the baby big so she thinks they will cancel each other out and I'll have a normal sized baby. GD numbers were all great and BP is still normal. All in all it was a good appointment!
My appointment went well. I had my little ones with me today (and brought a church friend to watch DS in the waiting room), but DD got to come in and "help" the OB with the doppler check :-). She was so excited! My fundal height was measuring a week less than it was 2 weeks ago (so I was measuring 36w and last appt I was measuring 37), and I dropped some weight (probably because I feel lousy), so they sent me for an u/s to check fluid levels. Both babies are totally fine; they are just hanging low and so close to each other that I am carrying small. They are measuring 3lbs9oz and 4lbs even, making their total weight about what my other two were at birth. Crazy!! I start going twice a week a week from today!
Weekly ultrasound and 2 week appointment went well. Still moving right along. She's about 5 1/2 pounds now. I'll start cervix checks in 2 weeks then go every week to see the doc until I deliver. I can't believe how close we're getting. I'm sorta kinda freaking out.
Here's a couple shots from today's ultrasound (34 weeks)

Thank The Lord for this thread. I totally went pregnancy brain and forgot I have an appointment today at 3:45. Good thing I got my daughter down for an early nap!!
I don't post much on this board but I had a really good appointment today. If anyone remembers me my LO has a mass in his chest that started out pushing his heart to the left. I haven't posted much because for a little while we were very stressed I would have to have prenatal surgery. Well after 10 weeks of bi weekly appointments it has gotten so small the MFM has trouble seeing it on the U/S. The heart and lungs are in the correct position and it isn't affecting his digestion. I may actually be able to have a normal delivery!
@PinkKEL9 A broken tooth sounds like a horrible ring of hell. I'm hoping they can painlessly fix that sucker for you.
Thanks so much! I'm not actually in any pain from it so I'm also hoping its an easy fix.
Way better to take care of it before it becomes painful!!! FX it's easy!
I ended up having a cavity in that tooth. The dentist said that probably weakened it and thats why it broke. They fixed it and put a filling in. You can't even tell. And it was totally painless. So happy that was so easy!

you're lucky. that happened to me & i had to have a root canal. i did wait awhile to get it checked out & fixed though.
i need to get it checked out again 'cause sometimes it still hurts.
Yes extremely lucky! The dentist told me at the beginning of the visit that it might need a root canal but thankfully she was able to fix it without one. She told me if I hadn't of come in then that I would have had to have one later! Yikes. Glad to avoid that.
Just got back from our appts today and it looks like bc of my awesome coagulation disorder, we are going to induce at 39 weeks! So we scheduled the birth date to be 5/28/14 which is also DHs birthday!! And he flipped! So he's head down, i'm dilated to 1, and have a nice long cervix:) 5 weeks 1 day to go!
My appt went ok. I'm officially off work now due to "mobility issues" (lol) and preterm labor contractions (but it's more like cramping but whatever doc!)
I had a hard weekend where I was on bed rest for one full day and feeling like a truck ran me over the other day. She said my cervix has shortened a bit but didn't check with u/s so not sure of the numbers. We'll see next Friday at the growth scan.
LO growth scan went very well. He's weighing in at 6lbs 5oz and measures 17 1/2 inches @ 34 weeks, doc says he is in the 98% which I'm guessing is really good. Then I went in to see my ob and he did a cervix check since I complained of lower back pain and sporadic contractions and said I was dilated 2 cms and wants to see me every week now. I'm really nervous! Hope my chubby cheeks holds on a few weeks more!
Re: Tuesday Appointments
I have a regular baby doc appt today at 3PM PST. I need to write down my questions because I always forget when I go in there!
Here's a couple shots from today's ultrasound (34 weeks)
One more biweekly appointment, then I go weekly. It's really getting close now!
Hope your growth scan goes well, @flojo973!
