Re: Weekly Appointments 3/27
YAY I GO HERE, FINALLY!!! (and yes all the caps letters and exclamation points are needed)
*When is your appointment? Wednesday 3/29
*How far along will you be? 12 weeks
*What will your appointment entail? My OB finally squeezed me in for my first appointment 2 weeks after their normal 10 week appointment recommendation. So I get the full blood work up, an ultrasound finally and a full scale OB appointment, should be a long morning but I'm ready.
*Any questions or concerns? I'm just super anxious this time because A) it's so late, my first pregnancy I got in at 8 weeks and to be at the end of the first trimester ughhh, B ) I'm not as naïve as my first so I'm a bit more aware of what all could be wrong and C) I'm a natural worrier. But I did have a dream last night about our first u/s and everything was perfect.
Edit: haha, apparently B )
is sunglass guy.
*How far along will you be? 13w2d
*What will your appointment entail? Just a regular prenatal check up. I had my ultrasound and blood work done at 9 weeks. Hopefully we will get to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler.
*Any questions or concerns? I'm a little nervous, for no particular reason. If this appt goes well, we will start telling everyone and being open about the pregnancy (we've already told immediate family and some close friends).
*When is your appointment? Today 3/27
*How far along will you be? 11 weeks
*What will your appointment entail? All the necessary bloodwork & full OB appointment
*Any questions or concerns? I'm SO anxious, nervous, worried .. I'm the full 9 yards. Just hoping LO has been growing and is healthy since the 1st time we saw him/her 4 weeks ago.
@beezeemarie I'm riding in the same boat as you ... we've told immediate family and my very best friend but nervous as well. Just want a good appointment so we can start telling more ppl. Hoping everything goes well for you and your nerves subside too!!
@mrs_fogue Woohoo for the appointment!! Hoping everything goes well for you!!
*When is your appointment? Friday!
*How far along will you be? 12+1
*What will your appointment entail? A repeat attempt at an NT scan. Tech preferred I be over 12 weeks, instead of the 11 my doctor told me. Also, she told me my bladder was too full and we laughed and laughed over how badly I had to pee. I already cut the suggested water in half and drink it right before the appointment instead of an hour before, but I've got a teeny tiny bladder which does its work quickly apparently??
*Any questions or concerns? No, I'm pretty ready for this one seeing as we've already tried!
@mrs_fogue Good luck! What patience you've demonstrated.

*How far along will you be? 11w6d
*What will your appointment entail? I actually don't know. I *hope* it will include an ultrasound because I want to see LO again (we had our first U/S at 8 weeks) and see how much he/she has grown, but I have my NT scan next week, so I'm not sure they will do an U/S today. Maybe just an exam?
*Any questions or concerns? Just waiting anxiously for 4:00 today. This feels like the next big milestone to pass before I feel that much more secure.
*How far along will you be? 12w5d
*What will your appointment entail? I'm guessing it will probably be uneventful. Probably just weight, blood pressure, and hopefully using the doppler. I will probably have to redo my cystic fibrosis bloodwork. I had it done with DD and I'm not a carrier, but they want it on paper and the OB i used with DD closed. No one seems to know how I can get my medical records from them.
*Any questions or concerns? Just regular nerves. I hate first trimester, really the whole period before you can feel movement. I'm so ready for baby kicks for more peace of mind!
*How far along will you be? 9 weeks/5 days
*What will your appointment entail? It's a health history intake appointment first, followed by an apt with my midwife. I'm not sure what they will be doing, they said if I needed a pap they would do it then, but I'm not due yet. I will be getting my order for the regular blood work which I'll probably have drawn right after.
*Any questions or concerns? Hoping for an ultrasound since they do them pretty freely right in the office and I'm anxious to set up my NT scan and the DNA blood draw.
*When is your appointment? 2/27 (it was early in the morning)
*How far along will you be? Was supposed to be 10w+6 but measured ahead at 11w+1
*What will your appointment entail? ultrasound, blood work for original labs that I missed and genetic testing labs. Also was tested a couple of times for my blood pressure. It was a little high but normalized itself.
*Any questions or concerns? None! Was concerned about a fibroid but it is so small now that the risk of needing a c-section has drastically gone down.
Everything looked great. Baby was wiggling around doing flips, something so amazing to see! Although, that made it very hard to get a heartbeat because of how active my lil one was.
We ended up paying out of pocket for our genetic testing. Turns out, i'm far too young to get approved for anything through insurance. Regardless, if I did, I'd need to meet my deductible before insurance would even kick in for that. It was extremely affordable and I should know the results in about 2 weeks maximum.
As for the actual blood work... they had to stick me 3 times (last time was 4 and they ultimately could not draw any blood) so it was a relief that they were able to get it on the 3rd time. I am so happy to have these nurses, their patience, willingness, and understanding is wonderful. I am so happy with my OB clinic and my doctor.
@KDeola @keriflores @soprano19 @reneeannemm @lisa06317 @beezeemarie @mrs_fogue good luck to all of you ladies at your appointments! Can't wait to see some of your U/S pictures
*How far along will you be? 12 weeks
*What will your appointment entail? My first ultrasound and hopefully hearing the heart beat
*Any questions or concerns, just hoping everything is good!
*How far along will you be? I went in to the ultrasound at 10weeks, but they said I'm measuring 11w2d. I'm curious if doc will change my due date.
*What will your appointment entail? The ultrasound was pretty neat. I've never had one this early before. Baby was moving all around. It took the tech about 10 min to get the heartbeat since he kept diving away from her. My OB appointment tomorrow will probably just be blood work and a quick talk with the doc.
*Any questions or concerns? Nope, feeling good this week. We will probably start telling more people next week.
*How far along will you be? 12weeks+4
*What will your appointment entail? NT scan
*Any questions or concerns? Wondering if they will give us the results of the scan while we're there? My OB doesn't do them, we go to the hospital for this one.
BFP in September 2014, DS born June 2015.
TTC x2 months.
BFP January 2017.
*How far along will you be? 11w4d
*What will your appointment entail? My first ultrasound and I assume they'll tell me my blood work results.
*Any questions or concerns? I'm nervous about tomorrow mostly because it's my first ultrasound and that's when we find out if this is a viable pregnancy. I have no reason to think otherwise but I'm a worrier by nature. We also find out if I have Factor 5 and if I do I may have to take medication in the form of injections. So yeah, anxiously awaiting tomorrow
Married 9/27/2014
TTC Since 1/1/2017
BFP: 2/6/2017
Due Date: 10/13/17
*How far along will you be? 11 weeks exactly
*What will your appointment entail? I have no idea. Like I said it's my first prenatal appointment besides the time I went in for spotting. I'm assuming blood work which I have been dreading. I have a pathological fear of shots and sometimes faint so yeah super excited about all the shots you get during pregnancy.
*Any questions or concerns? Not really.
Thursday, 3/30 in the morning!
*How far along will you be?
12+2!
*What will your appointment entail?
I believe that it is just a normal OB visit, but they said they weren't doing and ultrasound (Boo) but we will use the Doppler to check baby's heart rate!
*Any questions or concerns?
Just hoping everything is okay and baby is still growing like crazy and the heart is as strong as it was at my last appt!
*How far along will you be? Should have been 9w6d, but measured at 8w5d
*What will your appointment entail? It was my first appt. I had an ultrasound (ended up being vaginal because I have an inverted uterus which made it hard to see the baby) and a discussion with the nurse.
*Any questions or concerns? I was concerned about measuring behind but no one else was. I'm slightly disappointed that it means an extra week to carry the baby, lol. Next week I'll get all my blood work done!
My appointment is Wednesday 2/29
I'll be 13+1
I'll be going in for my NT scan and "first trimester screen." I can't seem to get anyone to tell me what all it screens, if it's quad screen or NIPT that determines sex so we'll see! Not looking forward to surprise costs if my insurance doesn't cover...
so excited to see LO again, it's been so long since 6wk blob lol
*When is your appointment? Friday the 31st!
*How far along will you be? 9w 5 days
*What will your appointment entail? I know there's an us because the appointment and the us were technically scheduled sepretly but so they are back to back so it's all one trip. I think there might be some blood work but I'm not really sure. My last pregnancy we weren't sure of due dates because of my crazy cycle with pcos so my first apportionment were different while we worked that out so I'm not really sure what to expect.
*Any questions or concerns? Irrational fear really, just that the us will show something not so great. I don't really have any real reason to be thinking that though, so I'm thinking all is well and there's not really anything to be dwelling on.
@VLillyV thanks girl! It didn't go as I would have liked to ... Appointment was for 4:30 DH & I were 15 min early... they didn't take us back until almost 5. By the time the NP came in it was 5:30... They couldn't find the LO's heartbeat on a doppler 1) bc I just turned 11 weeks yesterday 2) the one nurse thought she could hear the double echo and thought LO was hiding behind my own pulse. So, by the time even the NP came in the in-house ultrasound tech had left for the day and the labs I had to get done wasn't possible either bc the lab tech had left as well. *END RANT* lol I have to go back in next Monday and if they have trouble with the Doppler I'll go in for an ultrasound and finally get my blood drawn too!
I'm so glad you had a great appointment!!!
*When is your appointment? Tomorrow! 3/29
*How far along will you be? 12w3d
*What will your appointment entail? This is another follow up appointment to check on progress due to previous MMCs. Fx everything is going well. I've been a nervous wreck the past week or so. Totally going through ultrasound withdrawals. Baby heart beat monitor arriving today too! Can't wait. I hope this clams my anxiety.
*Any questions or concerns? Just really hoping for another good u/s.
BFP#1: 9/9/2014 DS born 4/7/15
BFP#2: 6/16/2016 MC/D&C: 7/29/2016
BFP#3: 10/14/2016 (fingers crossed for a sticky bean)
13+2
Met with one of the OBs. Just talked about possible doing a level 2 us and fetal echo to check the baby's heart better since DD2 has a heart condition, non life-threatening, but this OB seems really persistent in wanting me to do these more extensive ultrasounds. I need to talk about it with dh tonight
On another note, they did have me schedule my 20 week scan regardless, so that is making me feel like this pregnancy is flying by, even though I'm still not even in 2nd trimester until this weekend lol
Edited because its also @Maksim's Mom s apt
*How far along will you be? 12w1d
*What will your appointment entail? NT Scan & blood draw
*Any questions or concerns? I'm just super happy, the doctor told us that the baby looks good based on what she saw on the scan, she was super helpful and discussed some of my concerns and we got to hear the heartbeat!
