DR Appointments (week of 9/19)

So sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread.  I had to take some time away, seeing all the TW posts had me in a state of crazy.  I promised DH I would take some time off and focus on our pregnancy.  But with that being said...lets get to it!


Who has an appointment this week and what are you most excited/nervous about?

  • I have my 12 week checkup Thursday - get to hear the heartbeat for the first time!  <3 Other than that I'm not really sure what will happen haha.

  • good luck everyone! @kitkat8387, let us know how the NT ultrasound goes. I have mine next week and would love to know what to expect!

  • @kitkat8387 I am nervously awaiting the same two appointments this afternoon.  Our baby is 12 weeks today.  Did you already have the corresponding blood draw or NIPT? 
  • I have my 12 week appointment on Thursday morning and we will get to hear the heartbeat!

    I have been very anxious/excited for this appointment from day 1...after Thursday we will start sharing our news with friends, and I CANNOT wait!!

  • I just had one this morning - got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler and had to get blood drawn for the NIPT.  I also just got to schedule the NT scan for in a couple weeks.  

    @kitkat8387 and @thecavfamily I don't know how you are going to make it until this afternoon - I would be a bundle of nerves! Best of luck on your appointments!!

  • I have a 10 week appointment on Friday, my first time meeting one of the "delivery" staff.  I'm meeting one of the midwives first, which I'd prefer for delivery.

  • My u/s and appointments are on Friday. I'm trying to stay positive, but both ladies that had similar struggles (low progesterone, low heartbeat) had losses. I'm still nauseated, my boobs are still sore, and all the rest of the other symptons are still there. It's just really hard to stay positive right now.

  • @ArchyFlores Thinking of you - I'm sure it must have been hard to read about those losses. Prayers that your LO is holding on strong!!  <3

  • @ArchyFlores, I hope everything goes well for you! It must have been very difficult for you to hear about those other experiences. But everyone's pregnancies are different. So try to stay positive until you have concrete answers. 
  • @thecavfamily I am pretty sure I will be getting the bloodwork done today in addition to the ultrasound, so I probably won't hear back for another week or so with the actual risk profile - but I feel like just knowing the NT measurement will make me feel a lot better (if it's normal of course). Good luck at your appointment and keep me posted on how it goes and I will do the same :)

  • My first midwife appointment is on Thursday! I'll be 10 weeks 2 days. I can't remember what we're doing at this appointment and I have no prior experience since I had an OB last time. 
  • We have our 12 week appointment Friday late afternoon. I believe we will have an ultrasound, blood work, and NT scan but not totally sure. Going to be a long week waiting!

  • @STM2017 Yay - I know you've been waiting forever!! Can't wait to hear about it!

    Oh @ArchyFlores, I feel for you, lady. I wish I could give you a big hug.
  •  Thanks @kitkat8387; good luck with yours today! 
  • I have an appt on Wednesday- All I know is that its more of a physical. I'll get a pap and all that fun stuff. I'm hoping I will at least get to hear the heartbeat! I am going to request to if it doesnt seem like it.

    Good luck everyone! It sounds like an exciting week!
  • My first appointment at 9 weeks is this Friday. I'm excited but also know I'll be filling out a bunch of paper work, taking tests, and I should be getting to hear a heartbeat. Once everything goes well I plan on announcing to family at 10 weeks.

  • Had the NT scan today. The tech did her best but could Not get proper measurements. After, emptying my bladder, drinking water and doing some exercises baby just refuses to stop facing down haha. But, from what she did saw there were no red flags. Also had my blood drawn for further testing. Will redo scan on Wedneday. DH said we have a stubborn baby in our hands.
  • Speaking of being too fluffy...I'm 20 pounds overweight and was told today that this may be the reason why my NIPT (Panorama) results came back as inconclusive.  It's either that or they drew my blood too early (it was @ 11 weeks).  Either way, there was not enough fetal DNA in my sample and I had a redraw today.  The good news is that my appointments went well and I had a low risk result on the NT scan (< 2 on the nuchal fold). 


    @Breesy14, I too have a subconscious tomato and will likely now be referring to it as such.  Thanks for that.  I'm sorry that you have so many questions right now.  I know it's scary and more so when you feel there is nothing you can do for reassurance except wait.  Thursday can not get here soon enough. 
  • @Breesy14 Thinking good thoughts for you for Thursday!

  • @RachelGreene Glad all went well - and welcome to Wednesday ticker change, the more the merrier!  :D

  • I have an appointment on Friday, but it is mainly just a physical so nothing too exciting. I'm not sure if they'll try the doppler... if memory serves me correctly it is still a touch too early.

    Went for our 12 week appointment today. They couldn't find the heartbeat using the Doppler so she did an ultrasound with the portable machine. Baby is not measuring at 12 weeks, and the picture was not clear enough to tell if there is a heartbeat. 

    I am waiting in limbo now. They could not get me in for an US at the hospital today, so I am going in tomorrow morning. 

    Prayers are appreciated
  • Thinking of you @STM2017 . Positive thoughts and prayers to you

  • @STM2017 Thinking of you and praying they find LO on the ultrasound tomorrow.

  • @STM2017 I'm so sorry you're in this limbo position. I'm praying for a good,  clear US for you tomorrow that shows a healthy baby. Hugs. 
  • @STM2017 Praying for you! I'm sorry you have to have an evening waiting in limbo. Hugs to you. 
  • Had my appointment on Monday and the midwife couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler (12w). We did a quick U/S and everything looked fine. Being a 3rd time mom, I don't go back for 6 weeks and that's when I'll have my anatomy scan. Crazy!!!

  • I have my NT US and BW tomorrow morning. I'm really excited to see the little one but also really nervous, as my PGAL brain always thinks the worse. So, fingers crossed that all goes well!
