December 2017 Moms

Weekly appointments: 4/10-4/16

Anyone have an appointment this week?

I have my first on Thursday! Feeling good and hopeful but also eager to have it be here already. It's an ultrasound followed by an appointment with the doctor. Weirdly enough, my regular doctor is out on maternity leave, and the covering doctor is a man so I'm just a teeny bit uncomfortable with that, but there's not much I can do since it's just the two doctors in the office. I'm sure he's nice, it's just that I've never had a male physician, especially a male OB/GYN. DH will be with me and he's a lot more anxious than I am since the last time we were in the office together for an u/s with my first pregnancy, *TW* -- the u/s showed an empty gestational sac and my doctor gently told us to prepare for a miscarriage, which was probably as bad as any first ultrasound could go. So, obviously hoping this one goes a little bit better. I think I will be just a little over 6 weeks on Thursday so I'm crossing my fingers for a heartbeat!

Re: Weekly appointments: 4/10-4/16

  • My doctors do not do ultrasounds and full on appointments until you are over 8 weeks so I have to go in on Friday to get my blood drawn to confirm my pregnancy and do an intake evaluation to get everything rolling. Hoping all goes well with everyone's appointments this week!

  • Intake appointment on Thursday. Blood work, history, and hopefully more clarification on if I'll be high risk and if I need to see a genetic counselor. 
  • @dragonette505 Fx for you! I'm sure your appointment will be totally fine and that little bean (beans? is that a possibility?) is stuck in there good :wink:

  • @CandyApple2012 Yeah...... trying to keep positive, but I guess I like to be honest too! :) After*tw several losses end tw* it's hard not to be practical and just the eeensiest bit pessimistic ahead of these appointments. And I'm a born "glass half empty" girl! :) But thank you!! :)
  • @justsuzie Definitely sending positive vibes! Stick baby stick! I'm super nervous about another MMC, so I get the anxiety going in for ultrasounds too. I won't have mine until May 1st though.

  • @justsuzie Thank you! I actually had an ultrasound at 5 weeks 1 day with my son and all they saw was the gestational sac and obviously that pregnancy turned out fine.  ***TW*** Unfortunately, after having my loss I really just want to get further along so there's something to see! ***End TW***  FX everything goes well at your appointment!
  • Thank you @acgonzalez22 I'm hoping my endo gets back to me soon!

  • @justsuzie sending positive vibes your way.  I'm sure the spotting was due to the sex.  I actually asked my doc about that today, and he said just to hold off for awhile to avoid undue anxiety.  Many women do report spotting afterwards and especially having a history of loss its best just to play it safe.  It isn't that sex isn't safe, it's more for peace of mind. 

    Good of luck on Thursday!
  • You ladies are wonderful. 
  • My 1st appointment is Wednesday afternoon. So scared.
  • Called a new OB on Thursday and spoke with them today; due to *TW* my history of 2 very early losses *end TW* they wanted to get me in for betas ASAP, so we did that today. I'll go back next week, and then two weeks after to meet the doctor. So much waiting, but at least I'll know my numbers along the way! Hopefully the results come back tomorrow and look great. Sending good vibes everyone's way this week!

    I have my first appointment tomorrow morning. I'll only be 4 weeks 5 days so I hope I'll be able to see something on the ultrasound.
    With my last pregnancy I had the first ultrasound scheduled for 8 weeks but didn't make it that far.
    Also since I've been having no symptoms I kinda just want confirmation that this is real.

  • @Orlaa FX that you get to see something on your US tomorrow! We need to get an ultrasound thread started...
  • I have my intake appointment tomorrow and I'm excited yet nervous this is baby #2 and pregnancy #3 *TW my first pregnancy ended with a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks that my doctor didn't catch till 12 weeks when I had my first ultrasound end TW* I was very cautious with my second pregnancy DD is now 16 months old, experienced really bad preeclampsia with DD so I know they'll be watching for that too with this one. So excited for all of us good luck with appointments mommas!!!!! 
  • I have one today (4/11) for betas.

  • I have an appointment in an hour.  I had some brown spotting and my dr wants to do a viability scan.  Hate those words, "viability scan".  I am trying to stay optimistic but in my gut I feel like there is something wrong.  Only time will tell I suppose. I also have no pg symptoms so that is worrying as well. 
  • @justsuzie FX for a good appointment. Brown spotting isn't always bad, keep us updated. 
  • @justsuzie good luck!! Fx for a great appointment and a healthy babe! Let us know how it goes. 
  • @rainbowdashh, @Jellybelly119, and @jlemons-2 Thanks ladies. PGAL brain is driving me crazy.
  • @justsuzie Praying for great results! I am experiencing the same thing and go for an U/S on Friday. 
  • @justsuzie good luck! FX so hard for sticky baby!
