Had my anatomy scan. Baby is growing right on track. Measuring 18+5 which is exactly where I'm at today. All the organs look good and we are team blue!!
Tomorrow for me as well. Follow up anatomy scan since they couldn't see the face well at my previous scan (at 17wks). I'll be 20w6d, so they should be able to see more. Still staying on team green!!
I'm curious to see if this baby is measuring ahead. I feel way bigger this time around, and he/she was measuring 2 days ahead at the previous scan. I'm probably being silly, but we shall see!
I have my anatomy scan on Friday at exactly 19 weeks. I'm so excited about it but at the same time a little sad, it'll be the last ultrasound before he's born unless something of concern pops up. Last ultrasound was at 10+6 so it'll be great to see how much he's grown!
I have two appointments this week. Had my regular check up today. Baby sounded good, I gained no weight this month (which is awesome b/c I'm up 20 lbs already), and I love, love, love the midwife I saw today. I've been stressed and a little depressed lately and she let me vent then gave me a hug. Wednesday afternoon is my mid-way ultrasound. I'm hoping to stay strong for Team Green, but we shall see!
Had a regular check up today and was happy to see my midwife there too. I love her. Heartbeat sounded good, blood work came back negative for neural tube defects, all in all it was a successful appointment!
I have another appointment this week, actually on Friday. Followup ultrasound to see if baby has moved around enough to get some good pictures of her spine and to check placenta placement. Fingers crossed it's migrated upward and I can go off pelvic rest!
Just got back from my appointment. Working on getting my anatomy scan scheduled (I'm 18 weeks) in the next few weeks. They couldn't find the baby's heartbeat, but could hear kicks and the cord pulsing so everything is ok!
Oh! The best part was my ketones were normal which means I'm eating enough, finally!!!!

Already had a regular appointment last week, but getting my prenatal labs redrawn tomorrow because my samples from earlier had hemolyzed, and I have an all important chiropractor appointment too.
My AS is TOMORROW! I am so excited and anxious. I've felt so lax about everything this pregnancy (nothing at all like how I felt with my son), and I don't know if it's just the constant distractions of a crazy work schedule and then coming home to a toddler that's making me feel that way. I'm always so paranoid about everything, so I hope everything checks out.
Aaaand, we're really hoping this one is a girl, haha. While we will be so happy with whomever we get, the gender disappointment will be real for both of us if it's another boy.
Had my AS today, she's perfect. At first I was worried that she only had one hand because I couldn't see the right one. But turned out she was pulling a Mary Kathrine Gallagher and had it tucked into her arm pit. She later pulled it out and sniffed her fingers. We took DS with us and he kept saying "That's my sister. That's my baby"
Had an appt this morning at 21 weeks. I met with a new midwife who asked me some great questions and was able to figure out that my uterus is pulled to the right due to long term low back issues and tight ligaments around my uterus. As she felt around I could feel how off center my uterus is. How could I not have noticed?! She took extra time to show my husband how to give me massages to correct the issue. I had a c-section 14 months ago and she said this is probably the reason DS #1 was unable to come straight down the birthing canal. It's such a relief to know that this labor can go better, to have an answer about my terrible ligament pain and to know I can do something about it! I love having hour long appointments with my midwives. I would have never been examined so thoroughly at the OBGYN I went to for my last pregnancy. I'm so grateful to have answers and steps to correcting my uterus pulling!
@BecNJake that's great your midwife finally noticed and is helping! Spinning babies exercises and a chiropractor could help too. I'm vigilant about both since I had a c section with a breech baby and don't want to do it again!
@lovelongdog06 thanks! I'm glad you brought up spinning babies exercises, I am supposed to look into that on the midwives recommendation. I definitely need to check that out
Went back for my followup to the anatomy scan and although baby was still in the same position as before the technician was able to cobble together several different views and discern that everything is 100% normal with baby's spine. I also found out that I'm previa free! Apparently my uterus must have grown in the last 2 weeks and the placenta migrated upward. Woohoo!
