    I have my glucose test Friday, followed immediately by an appt at MFM to check the status of my previa (FX the placenta has moved, and I'll be able to do the natural birth I've planned on), and then right after that I go down the hall to my OB to go over the MFM results and do a quick routine check...

    I have an appt with a specialist on Thurs to determine if a scheduled csection will be necessary. I was born with a heart problem so we are not sure if going into labor will be the best option for me. I will also be having genetic counseling that day to discuss the chances of this little one or any future kids having the same issue. 

    Last but not least, they will be checking the pooling of blood in the placenta to see if it has gone day.

    Can't say I am " looking forward" to the appt, but definitely hoping for some good answers/results.

    GD test next Tuesday. Can't wait. Wondering is an ultrasound routinely performed at that time? Or is it just a blood draw? If it is not, I am considering exaggerating some of the symptoms I feel to encourage my doc to do one. I feel pressure in my pelvis and some menstrual type cramping. I need a mental sanity check. Waaaay too worried!

    @rachyrach06 Glad you had a good appointment!  Is there a particular fear you have or reason you don't want to get the TDAP? I only ask because I haven't really found anything negative about getting it and it is standard practice to give to pregnant women in the third trimester to pass some immunity to the baby against pertussis as they won't get their first immunization until 2 months.

    no fear per se...i've just not had any thing like it ever and i've not even gotten a flu shot in close to 15 years. i just wanted to look into it more before blindly saying yes.

    my brother is one of the types that's all about IF you vaccinate then do it at your own schedule. they wanted to do flu and tdap at the same time and i called my bro and mentioned that i haven't gotten a flu shot in so long, should i really get one now and what about the tdap. his words were "if you're gonna get sick from those things, its gonna happen regardless". i didn't know or think to ask about it being a way to vaccinate the baby for those 1st 3 to 6 months.

    i tried looking up some stuff on it today but couldn't tell how reputable the sources were that i was seeing so i gave up on it for the day...i've got 4 weeks to figure it out right?

    @rachyrach06 Were you not vaccinated growing up?  At least in the US it is standard for children to receive doses of the Dtap (adult version is the Tdap).  There are actually outbreaks in a few states right now of pertussis (whooping cough) from a decline in vaccination.  Here are a few reputable links for info from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and the ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) for you to look at.  If you are unsure about receiving it after looking at some of the info talk to your OB, they should be able to give you their reasons why they think it is necessary for you and baby and allow you to feel like whatever you choose you are making an informed decision. 

    From the CDC:

    https://www.cdc.gov/features/tdap-in-pregnancy/

    https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac/pertussis/tdap-pregnancy-hcp.htm (this link is for providers, like your OB, but I found some of the info helpful, particularly the safety section about halfway down the page)

    https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/downloads/parent-ver-sch-0-6yrs.pdf (vaccine schedule from birth to 6 months)

    From the ACOG:

    https://www.immunizationforwomen.org/immunization_facts/vaccine-preventable_diseases/pertussis (this one has a tab for OB/GYNs with the studies they used as references at the bottom, and a tab for patients for more to the point info)

    Honestly i'm not sure if i was vaccinated for it as a child but i would imagine so. The last thing i remember having was a tetnus shot when i was 16...i'm fairly certain that i had all the normal boosters as a young child tho since my parents weren't weird about vaccinations.

    My aunt also recently gave me a book i've not had a chance to read that talks alot about the pros and cons to vaccinating.


    Thank you so much for the info, i'm copy/pasting this into an email so that i can read on it this evening. I think i'll feel a whole lot better being able to make an informed decision on this.

    Not a baby-related appt. persay, but I have an appt. with the vein doc tomorrow. I had a vein in my leg lasered closed last Dec. because it was extremely enlarged and causing me problems and causing varicose veins in my calf. Now I'm starting to have some of the same symptoms (most definitely pregnancy-related) so I bumped my appt. up a few weeks to make sure everything is okay. He said my vein was equivalent to that of a 90 year old and if I had not come in and had had a baby/gone into labor, it could have burst from the pressure and I would have had to have emergency surgery. Fx that it's just pelvic pressure and nothing major to be concerned about now.

    I'm 24 weeks currently & during today's doctors appointment he told me that i'm measuring at 27 weeks. So during my level 2 ultrasound the little one's size will be re-checked. Was scheduled a level 2 ultrasound due to an echogenic cardiac focus being seen. =/ Crossing my fingers that it's nothing!

    I had 27w appointment yesterday. They said everything from my second a/s looked good. The measured my bump and said I'm measuring a little small (even though the a/s showed LO is right on track) so I'll be going for another u/s around 32 weeks.

    Had my anatomy scan and 24 week appointment on Monday found out we are expecting a little princess ...everything seem to look fine on the ultrasound went to my 24 week appt and heart rate sounded great and she is measuring about a week ahead ... Seemed great until I left and 30 min later got a phone call telling me she was referring me to another hospital a hour away to see specialist to check the fluid level in baby girls Nuchal fold ... It was higher than normal I guess and now want a better look and a level 2 ultrasound done ( i have that appt Monday ) if baby girls fluid is still high on Monday it could be a indicator of Down syndrome, a heart defect or nothing at all...but I'm nervous/scared ...my heart is and gut is telling me she is 100% fine but I'm still nervous because what if she's isn't of course I'll still love my baby regaurdless she is a blessing. But still its something I was never expecting

    I had my one-year follow up appt. with my vein doc. They did an ultrasound of my leg to make sure the vein they closed isn't somehow re-opening, and he said everything looks great. All the pain and discomfort I'm feeling is from the baby putting pressure on my pelvis. While the tech was doing the u/s, I was watching my belly move all over the place and he was just wiggling away in there.

    So that's definitely good news on that end.

    @jennypm‌ The first time my midwife checked my fundal height was at 24 weeks.

    @baileysbaby‌ FX your baby girl looks perfect on the follow-up u/s.

    Had my GD blood draw today. Nothing exciting, but I'm anxious about the results.

    28 week u/s on the 15th. Hoping those measurements have sorted themselves out and everything is okay. My dad wants to come but was too shy to ask outright, which was adorable. So he'll probably come see the grandbabbens on the monitor.
