How did your appointment go? Today's appointment was scheduled after a trip to the ER on Wednesday night, where they said the fetal heart rate was really low. Today they said the heart rate was 138! So I think the appointment went great!!

Did you doctor address any concerns or questions you had? Yes, I feel so much more at ease now. I've been freaking out since Wednesday, so today was a big relief.

Any ultrasound pics? They sent us home with a disc of everything, not sure how to upload anything though.

When's your next appointment? Not sure yet. Should know tomorrow.

How did your appointment go? I had my first appointment today to confirm pregnancy, and I'm 5w5d. The appointment itself was kind of awful - I decided I'm not going to that PCP anymore - but getting the confirmation was great!

Did you doctor address any concerns or questions you had? Yes, she said I can still drink tea and continue to hike and run. Unfortunately, I have to stop rock climbing (but I have seen pregnant women climbing before, so we'll see). I also got a flu shot today, and I didn't realize you could get them when you're pregnant.

Any ultrasound pics? Nope, I'm waiting until I'm solidly at 8 weeks. I think having one early could cause unnecessary stress.

When's your next appointment? I'm going to schedule it 3 weeks from now. Have to find an OB!

How did your appointment go?
Today was my confirmation of pregnancy, exciting to actually hear someone else say I'm pregnant!

Did your doctor address any concerns or questions you had?
She told me that having only one prior miscarriage there is no greater risk for miscarriage this pregnancy. She told me not to stress out about having a second miscarriage. She informed me about the process and upcoming appointments.

Any ultrasound pics?
Not for another 3ish weeks.

When's your next appointment?
October 5th. This appointment is to get my medical history and blood work. Then I'll be able to schedule an u/s

How did your appointment go?
It was great! I had an ultrasound followed by an appointment. I forgot how many papers I had to fill out...
Baby is measuring fine and heart rate was 143.
I was really sad to find out the midwife that delivered my daughter just left the practice and move across the country though

Did you doctor address any concerns or questions you had?
Yes, this midwife was great and addressed my concern about asymptomatic UTIs like I had in my last pregnancy.

Any ultrasound pics? Yes! I'll have to crop out my name and date of birth and attach later

When's your next appointment? 10/23

How did your appointment go? It was yesterday morning, and it went well. No ultrasound, just a urine test confirmation (even though I'd already peed on five sticks, it was really great to hear the doctor say it's positive.)

Did you doctor address any concerns or questions you had? Yep, she let me know what vitamins I can keep taking, prescribed me something for my acne. and let me know how to get a hold of the midwife.

Any ultrasound pics? Not yet.

When's your next appointment? I left the midwife a message yesterday morning and have not heard back yet, so no clue

I finally was able to schedule my first appointment today, sadly it is not for two and a half more weeks. Super scared since I don't have a clue how things are progressing. I just keep praying I'll find out everything is going gone when I finally get to go in

How did your appointment go? Great! I have a wonderful new OB. She sent me for an ultrasound and I'm measuring 6 weeks 5 days... baby looked good and had a heart rate of 137. She was genuinely happy for us and very sweet.

Did you doctor address any concerns or questions you had? Yes... every one and also did all the tests I requested to include progesterone and other possible reasons for my recurring pregnancy loss. She also gave me a scriptI'm beyond happy with her!!!!

Any ultrasound pics? Yes, but I have to crop mine. They had us several views because they were excited for us too.

When's your next appointment? In 3 weeks. Since I'm high risk, I'll be back at 9 weeks and also 12 weeks.

Did you doctor address any concerns or questions you had? Yes and they talked about my "graduation" to my OB!

Any ultrasound pics? See below...starting to look like something!

When's your next appointment? Next thursday..I will be 8w4d

GAHHHH! Apparently the only OB I have ever felt comfortable with is leaving the practice! So now I am torn between keeping my appointment and seeing a different OB or jumping ship and finding a whole new practice. Of course, the only other practice near me delivers at this semi-sketchy hospital (I did a clinical rotation there and I have seen things...) I heard great reviews about the OBs, but am terrified of this hospital. I had a massive nervous breakdown last night and am still reeling from the news.
