How did your appointment go overall?
AS on Wednesday!!!! Last appointment was 12/10 and went well
Any ultrasound or doppler?
Last Doppler HR was in the 150s
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot?
Last appointment I mentioned that I get dizzy when I stand up and she said if I feel dizzy, ideally I would lie down but otherwise squat down and hold on to your legs because squatting keeps your leg muscles pumping blood. I also mentioned that I got some crazy bad fooot cramps while curling (sport where you throw and sweep rocks down ice) and she said water probably isn't enough and to make sure to have some sports drinks
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet?
Nothing specific about labor and delivery yet, but I read about it in the book they gave me and I'm sort of freaked out.
How did your appointment go overall? Two days away from my anatomy scan! My last appointment was 1 1/2 weeks ago. It was super fast (less than 5 min)! The NP, who takes measurements before I see the doctor, said that my blood pressure is excellent- 116/64.
Any ultrasound or doppler? First doppler. Dr. could hear baby's movement and hear heart beat. She hadn't told me whst the pulse is though, but at least someone can tell the baby's moving (I still can't feel it yet!)
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot? To be honest, the dr. has been in such a rush the past 2 appointments that I haven't been able to ask any questions! Next time, I won't hesitate to stop her and ask, even if she is busy and behind.
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet? Nope!
In a month we have a fetal echocardiogram and detailed ultrasound to rule out congenital heart defects (my husband has one, so we are "high risk"--2 % chance baby will have same defect and is slightly higher because it's a boy) but we know that the chances of baby having any sort of fatal condition is now 1:5400, and those are odds we like.
Just had my anatomy scan a couple hours ago and found out we have a VERY HEALTHY baby boy!! So happy he's healthy! We Had such an amazing ultrasound tech who gave us a bunch of photos (like around 10!)! She even said I was cute pregnant which made me feel good! And this was my husband's first ultrasound to see and he loved it, and I loved the look on his face ♡
I have another appointment in 2 days so I'll be asking my doctor questions then! And updating this! So no talk of labor and delivery yet!
How did your appointment go overall? Great! Blood pressure and weight gain were both good.
Any ultrasound or doppler? Today was my a/s! Baby is looking perfect and measuring in the 50th percentile at 11oz :-) 150bpm. We had the tech write down the sex and we are finding out on Christmas morning!!!
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet? Not yet! With my daughter I remember bringing up my birth wishes at this point...but this time there's really no need to.....same doctor/hospital.
How far along are you? 17+4
How did your appointment go overall? It went pretty good. I saw a different doc today and he's the cute one in the practice
Any ultrasound or doppler? BOTH he started to use the Doppler (right after we were talking about my stillbirth) and couldn't find the heartbeat. I was freaking out inside and I'm sure he could tell. After a couple minutes he said he was going to grab the ultrasound. He brought it in and found the HB right away. The baby was practically under my belly button, which was extremely high for how far along I am. HB was 130. I have my AS on 12/28 and I can't wait!
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot? I asked about using albuterol because it makes me really shaky and he said it was perfectly fine to use.
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet? Nope not yet
How did your appointment go overall? Great, my office has the OB and 2 midwives. Today I met with the midwives for the first time. Im comfortable with all of them so I don't have to worry who is on call when it comes time to deliver.
Any ultrasound or doppler? doppler- heartbeat 135
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot? I had a little spotting last week so we discussed that. Nothing concerning about it -so all is well.

How did your appointment go overall? Very well! We had our AS today and the baby is healthy and A BOY!!
Any ultrasound or doppler? Ultrasound
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? NA
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet? NA
How did your appointment go overall? Good. Nice and quick. Midwife reviewed the radiologists notes from the anatomy scan and everything looks good. Both baby and I are doing well and my weight gain is on track for 25 lbs by the end (even with all the holiday eating
Any ultrasound or doppler? I had my anatomy scan on the 24th, but just the doppler today. Liking that we can now find the baby much quicker now.
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet? She mentioned we would be going over more at the next appointment and then a little bit at a time until the big day.
How did your appointment go overall?
It went well. Baby girl weighed 12 oz. and measured 20 weeks, 1 day.
Any ultrasound or doppler?
20 week ultrasound
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot?
It was just the tech and she didn't really say much. I kept asking specific questions about the anatomy and received one word answers so I gave up. I keep checking my online medical portal for the official report. I can't relax until I know that baby girl is healthy! She was moving her arms and legs and we saw a few decent pictures of her face. I'm so in love!
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet?

How did your appointment go overall?
One yesterday - short and quick, normal checkup, and A/S today. Both were great!
Any ultrasound or doppler?
Ultrasound today - found out it's a girl, and has all her body parts! Will hear back results later, but so far so good! Doctor yesterday was surprised to hear that I was feeling kicks already, but ultrasound tech today said she would be surprised if I wasn't, based on how wiggly my baby was, even with an anterior placenta. Baby was moving a lot at 10 weeks too, so apparently she just has a lot of energy! My mom says it was hard for her to tell back in the day since they didn't do ultrasounds, but I seemed pretty wiggly too, and came out with an iron grip and could hold my head up almost instantly, so I'm assuming I was working out in the womb too. Not really significant for any reason, but so cool to think that she's already taking after me!
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot?
Talked to the doctor about getting a doula, and decided it's probably not for me. That's what I was kind of thinking, but nice to have her reassurance.
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet?
Yup, signed up for the classes my hospital provided, and started generally lining up my non-plan.
How did your appointment go overall? Pretty well. I really don't like my doctor and it's just not getting better. Baby is kind of huge (90th percentile) even though I haven't gained any weight, so that was good!
Any ultrasound or doppler? Anatomy scan on Wednesday, doctor and Doppler on Thursday.
Did your doctor or midwife answer any questions or concerns you had? Was there anything you wanted to bring up but forgot? Discussed my lack of weight gain. Doctor actually seemed really pleased with it and said she doesn't expect me to gain more than 10 pounds over the whole pregnancy. Seems out of sync with everything I've read... (Before anyone asks, no I'm not overweight. Normal BMI with athletic/more muscled build)
Has your provider brought up anything about labor or delivery yet? Not a word. Next visit I want to ask what the practice's c section rate is, but haven't figured out of that's allowed.
