1. How far along are you now?
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc?
3. How are your symptoms?
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick?
Re: Weekly High-Risk Checkin 8/11
1. How far along are you now? Will be 22 weeks tomorrow
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc? Finally found a new rheumatologist (had been high and dry since the move) and have my first appt scheduled for September; that will be a massive blood letting! Last time I had a full rheumatology panel done, it was 9 vials of blood, and not the small ones. It should coincide with my 28 week OB appt; I was going to try and do them together since they are in the same building, but since the 28wk is my glucose test and rhogam shot, I think I'll space them out a bit
3. How are your symptoms? Pretty good; nausea is back here and there but not too bad. Mostly at night again.
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick? When I was a kid, I wanted my name to be Emily, and then as an adult, I've gone between Elizabeth and Sophie. Never liked my own name, but I just haven't cared enough to actually change it.
1. How far along are you now? 21 weeks 3 days
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc? I have been bad at checking in, I had an appointment a couple of weeks ago and the SCH seems to have slowed down a little and they aren't as concerned about it. My blood sugars are bouncing all over the place again, I will told by my high risk doctor that is normal in the second trimester but it is super annoying, so having to keep an eye on that. I have my next appointment next Thursday!
3. How are your symptoms? The only symptoms that I can complain about right now is hip pain and ligament stretching pain in the middle of the night. I sleep with a pillow between my legs and just can't get comfortable! UGH, this is my least favorite part of pregnancy!
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick? I have always liked my name because when I was little no one else had it, now it is popular!
20w 4d
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc?
Had a u/s with mfm last week, they are very happy with how the girls are growing! They saw everything anatomically they wanted to see and said it all looks great so that was good to hear. My next u/s is next Tuesday.
3. How are your symptoms?
Pregnancy brain is real! I am so forgetful.
I've been having a hard time sleeping. DH thinks it's anxiety that's making it hard to sleep. I think it's that and possibly that I've been allowing myself more caffeine lately. I'll cut back again and see how I sleep.
Also, I get really sweaty. Ugh
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick?
No, I have a pretty unique name but I've always liked it.
1. How far along are you now? I am 22 wks 4 days
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc? Had a doctor appointment today we went over the plan for RH, Steroid shots, weekly BPP & NST. The closer I get to 28 weeks the more often I will be seen. They are monitoring me like a hawk!
3. How are your symptoms? Haven't had a lupus flare up in about a month now. Keeping up with all my meds as usual.
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick? I like my name, I haven't meet another person by the name of Omayma.
21weeks 2 days
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc?
had appointment today, cervix looks long and not funneling. Won't do another measurement till two more weeks was just checking to make sure there was no funnel today after the last measurement 2weeks agom
3. How are your symptoms?
None
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick?
I wanted to change my name to "savings" when I was younger b/c a girl I knew with that name could cart wheel and I thought if my name was "savings" I would be able to cartwheel too.

A/S Friday was great! Baby is growing perfectly. Currently borderline low-lying placenta, so get another u/s in 4 weeks. I had this with DD#1 and it moved no issues, so currently I am not stressing about it!! Oh yeah, and baby is a girl!!
Just feeling lots of kicks which is really nice!!
I have a super common name, but don't think I every really picked out a name that I would have rather had.
2. Any updates - doctors appointments, ultrasounds, labwork, etc? Had my appointment today and cervix is 4.4cm with no sign funneling or bleeding. Baby boy is head down now and I pray he stays that way. He weighs 1lb1oz. Overall a great appointment. Plus, my OB said it is an excellent idea that I have a birth photographer.
3. How are your symptoms? I feel great. I have been walking which I think helps. Still gaining weight, but oh well. I have been a bit hungrier lately. Must have chocolate chip cookies!!!
4. (Inspired by DS who wants to change his name to Blader) Have you ever wanted to change your name? If so, what would you pick? I have never wanted to change my name, but if I did I think I would want something unique. I do wish I didn't have my nickname and everyone called me by my real name. It is just hard to pronounce, so I get my nickname.
