Weekly Appointments 11.28

cayaylonglegs · November 2016

Its here ladies! December babies are coming! Who has appointments or inductions this week?

ErikandAfton · November 2016

I have a BP check today. Hopefully now that they have the results of my preeclampisa testing they can figure out what's going on. I'm 90% sure it's stress induced from work but we will just have to wait and see.

sheshae · November 2016

38 week appointment later today. Routine stuff plus a cervix check. The doctor checked my cervix two weeks ago and it was still closed so I'm hoping for some progress since then.

AbriannaO · November 2016

36 week appointment today (36+5). GSB testing, hopefully while she's down there she'll take a look at whether there is anything to note. Need to come up with my list of questions/symptoms to share. Then I'll schedule out the remaining appointments along with another growth scan in two weeks for the baby measuring nearly "3 weeks" ahead. I know the u/s measuring is not always accurate, so I am still keeping my fingers crossed for a decent 7-8 lbs baby instead of the upper 8/9 lbs that was discussed during the u/s.

Mamax2 · November 2016

My typical weekly OB appt today for NST and appt Thursday for BPP with peri. Then Friday is the big RCS and tubal ligation day!

ajstevenson · November 2016

At mine now waiting to be seen. as far as I know the only 'new' thing on the agenda is the GBS test.

queenklau · November 2016

Mine is on Wed (39 weeks). Was 90% effaced and 1cm dilated last week. Baby is way low and engaged. Let's see where we are at this week.

Toller · November 2016

In at my 1 of 2 appointments this week (35w3d). NST and BPP. Baby boy not cooperating so it's taking forever!!

slartybartfast · November 2016

38 week on Friday. I got my GBS results back last week and I'm negative. I was positive last time which really made that unlikely... but I'll take it! I sort of feel like the GBS thing is not a very robust test or very well understood.
I also have a massage with my doula on Friday that I'm really looking forward to. Seems like a great way to connect before labor time.

Christinaruth74 · November 2016

Welp I didn't have any appointments this week, but going in for blood work today and an appt at the OBs on Wednesday. They are checking in to possible cholestasis. I'm pretty sure it's nothing and I'm trying to keep a level head, but a little freaked out.

sourlemon · November 2016

Pre-op appt tomorrow. rcs next Monday. that's all that is planned so I hope that's all that will happen. I've now had 8 trips to l&d in the last 7 weeks so I'd like to avoid it until baby day if possible!

jennbaylor12 · November 2016

My 38wk, and final, appt is Wed; RCS scheduled for next Tuesday. The way things have been going I'm not really expecting much exciting.... will ask about being GBS positive with a RCS and that's about it

cayaylonglegs · November 2016

Here now for my 39 wk/pre induction appt. Maybe I'll be a bit more dilated? I'm irrationally irritated that my usual 9 am spot was already filled and now it's 10:15 and this place is packed and who knows how long this will take.

AMack1216 · November 2016

I have my 6 week postpartum appt on Friday. Can't believe that it is going to happen 4 days before my due date and that my baby is already this old. Being pregnant feels like a lifetime ago.

Lisa3379 · November 2016

My 39-week appointment is on Wednesday. It's not with my regular doctor, which is annoying - she had to cancel because of a surgery, which has happened like 3 times already. Oh well. Last time I was not dilated at all, but it was "getting softer" so we'll see.

melundie · November 2016

Had an appointment this morning. Still 2.5cm and 80-90%. According to the doc, baby is "right there." Induction is scheduled for tomorrow at 8AM!! She thinks it'll be quick and I'll be eating lunch on time tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

capps42613 · November 2016

Just left OB from my 39 wk appt. I'm close to 4cm dilated right now. If I make it til then, my doctor will have me come in Wednesday to strip my membranes because he is on-call for deliveries that day & he will admit me for certain. So we're pretty much set for late Wednesday/Thursday baby arrival

gowenc · November 2016

I've got my 40 week NST and check up on Wednesday. The midwives don't do internal check until this week, so I have no idea if I'm dilated/effaced at all, but at my last appointment she said his head was very low and that they could strip my membranes at this appointment to try and get things moving if I wanted them to. I think that if they check me and I am decently dilated/effaced I might go ahead and do it, but if my cervix is closed I'll wait another week. I have no frame of reference for this, but I would imagine that if I'm not dilated it would be pretty painful. Has anyone else had this done?

bookworm8622 · November 2016

Just got back from my weekly BPP appt, so far baby is still moving well and amniotic fluid is in check. No size estimation at this appt so we'll see what the OB says at my weekly Wednesday appt about inducing this week or next. She mentioned twice that if baby was below 20th percentile we'd induce at 38 weeks (today) and I can't imagine that even if they did a size estimation at this BPP that he'd have jumped from 14th to 20th percentile in one week

sheshae · November 2016

Had my 38 week appointment earlier. I've had this terrible rash for a week now and what we thought was hives or a heat rash is a really bad case of PUPPs. The Doctor said it doesn't harm the baby but that it will continue to get worse for myself. He checked my cervix and I was dilated 2cm and he stated that they would like to induce me before it got any worse. So I'm scheduled to be induced tomorrow morning at 6 am

yellingbanana · November 2016

Ermagosh! It's practically raining babies! Lol, ok, maybe not raining, but there are so many babies on their way. I guess thats what happens when we are all due in December. Yup, totally stating the obvious over here, I'll stop now.
I've got a 38+4 appointment this Wednesday, and it's my last appointment. Next Wednesday I'll be going in for my RCS. I'm worried, surgery worries me. Recovery worries me. I'm worried about the baby even though I have no reason to be. Is it just me? Am I the only one scared of everything that could go wrong?

Mamax2 · November 2016

@yellingbanana you definitely are not the only one scared and worried. I go in Friday for c-section and tubal like I stated above. Even though I've had a c-section before, it wasn't the best experience , so I'm terrified. I'm trying to think positive and stay calm, but sometimes I just want to cry over how scared I am.

slartybartfast · November 2016

I dunno @yellingbanana - I'm with you on feeling surprised! I did NOT expect SO MANY Nov births! I think we have a lot of early Dec due dates which is probably part of it. But yea. BABIES BABIES BABIES. In fact, I'm so captain obvious about it that sometimes I am like... man seems like EVERYONE is having babies right now - and then I'm like... duh. It's a pregnancy board. These aren't just your gal pals from yoga class or something... pregnancy means babies... derdy derr.

And yea - I've got the worries too. I'm trying to be super positive but they are there. People keep telling me "good luck!" and I'm like... wait, why do I need luck, what do you know?! I mean, it's not like a signed up for a raffle or something.

kaitmb88 · November 2016

@yellingbanana Nope you are not the only one! I'm right with you on the scared train. Some crazy scenarios going through my head. I am being told that it's normal to have these anxieties though.

mjgf · November 2016

Had my 39 week check up today, 5 days til my due date.. still nothing happening. Went thru a darn cervix check for nothing. Scheduled to go back next Monday unless baby decides to come before then. If there's still no progress then dr will order ultrasound to check growth bc of my GD then we'll talk induction options. Wahhh. I hope he comes on his own before then!! Induction scares me.

AbriannaO · November 2016

Finished with my 36.5 week appointment. 1 cm dilated, 60% effaced, -3 station, and soft cervix. Baby's heart rate was in the 130s, and I'm measuring at 38.5 weeks still. I go back next Tuesday for 37.5 week appointment, then again the following Monday for another growth scan and my 38.5 weeks. Dr guesses that we will be delivering at 38.5 weeks if I continue to progress like I am.

squiddy224 · November 2016

Had my 37 week appointment and another NST today. No big changes from last week, but the monitor picked up a LOT more uterine activity this time, so my body is definitely prepping itself for labor. The nurse said something about possibly inducing at 39 weeks because of my GD, but this is the first it's been mentioned to me and the MD didn't say anything. I've been well controlled with diet so I highly doubt they will, and at this point it seems like Little Miss might not be waiting that long anyway!

zubenescamali · November 2016

Had my 37 week appointment and BPP and everything looks good, they are estimating her at 6 lbs 9 oz already, placenta is far enough away from c/a scar and baby is ROT which means I have some work to do to flip her to a more anterior position

then I brought up my palpitations and they sent me to L&D for an EKG so her I am waiting now for the results of that and they drew some blood to see if I'm anemic. This is seriously a whole to-do as I'm hooked up to every monitor imaginable. Hoping to go home soon.

ErikandAfton · November 2016

Went for my BP check. It's normal and no protein in my urine but because of my BP being all over the place the last few times they decided to have me come in Friday at 37w2days instead of next Wednesday at 38 weeks. I'm convinced we are getting sent to the hospital Friday Dh doesn't think so we will see.

1982Babies · November 2016

Had my 36 week appointment today. Last time, my 36 week appoitment was where I started having issues, so of course I was paranoid. I even cleared my desk at work before I left. haha....

Ultrasound to measure baby's size due to GD on Monday, as well as my next appointment. I thought I was going to start NSTs this week, but he didn't mention it.

MissLeighAndBabyG · November 2016

I had my appointment today. Baby has finally moved to 3 cm dilated and 60% thinned out after sitting at 2 cm and 50% for the past 4-5 weeks.

On that note we scheduled an induction first thing Friday morning (40+1) so hopefully she comes before then!

ashleaf2018 · November 2016

Rhett has his one week (plus a day) check up with the pediatrician on Thursday. I feel like time is just flying by and he's growing up too fast.

Upromise9687 · November 2016

Week 39 appointment is Tuesday. I'm going to try to pass on the cervix check one more week. I shall see if the dr will be okay with it. I sort of like the mystery of not knowing how prepared my body is to deliver.

aevan011 · November 2016

40 week appointment at 11:30 tomorrow. I'm really hoping I've started dilating or SOMETHING since last week, but I don't feel much different. We will likely schedule induction for late next week. Starting to have real anxious thoughts about everything. Like some PPs, I'm starting to get scared - up until now I hadn't been. Hopefully the appointment tomorrow will help calm me.

caffeinenut · November 2016

Had my 38 week appointment yesterday (37 + 6) and nothing has started yet. Baby still in downward position, but still sitting up high under my ribs. Cervix still clamped shut. No contractions, not even BH. Still have some protein in my urine, but no other issues. BP still holding steady at basically the same numbers as when I started this pregnancy. Measuring exactly in the middle of all the percentiles and growth charts. Have my next appointment next Monday. Doubt anything will happen before then.

penelope4612 · November 2016

39w 5d today. BPP was great, baby is measuring 7lb 9oz, 51st percentile, but the doctor kind of laughed at that and said she thinks it's highly unlikely that I'm currently carrying a 7lb baby (she thinks he's probably smaller). 60% effaced and 2cm dilated. Fingers crossed that baby will come in the next week or so, but I'm scheduled for induction 12/8 if he doesn't come before then.

mimi603107 · November 2016

Had my 36 week (36 weeks 2 days) appointment today. Heartbeat sounds good and looks like she's head down now, blood pressure good too. Got swabbed for gbs and got checked...cervix still closed. Going back every week from here on out and the nurse said I'll be checked at every appointment now. Once I pass the 37 week mark, I'll feel good about having her and might have to implement more walking in my daily routine to hopefully get things going

karmba · November 2016

I had my first postpartum appointment today. It was a blood pressure check and my reading was 127/84 - she was happy about it, so I'm off the BP meds and go back next week to check it out once more. Incision looks good and I'm down 19 lbs from the day I was induced (kinda crazy).

BenNSarah · November 2016

I have a growth scan on Friday due to GD (36 weeks) but doctor thinks he is probably right in the 50th percentile from my other measurements so far. Also my glucose numbers have been increasing the last few weeks so I am waiting on my dietician to call any time to discuss whether we wait more time or start some form of medication, which could mean more appointments. Otherwise nothing more until 38 weeks.

Gizmo1231 · November 2016

38w3d check today- last OB appointment before RCS on Monday.
Not dilated- said she would be shocked if I went into labor before Monday. So.... I'm trying to embrace the idea of a RCS and not a VBAC and enjoy these last few pregnant days

Knottie61132639 · November 2016

37w 4days- we are a whole 1.5 cm dilated and I feel like I have had all the early labor signs (diarrhea, vomiting, back pain, contractions...) yet nothing! Does anyone else find getting their cervix check extremely uncomfortable and painful?
