  • When is your appointment? ThisThursday

    How far along will you be? 12+5

    What will your appointment entail? The NT scan. I'm so excited to see a baby instead of a jelly bean this scan.

    How are you feeling about it? excited and anxious. I'm low risk for any trisomy abnormalities but so was my BFF when her baby got diagnosed with Trisomy-18 so this NT scan always makes the most nervous.

  • When is your appointment? It was today!

    How far along will you be? I'm 13+3

    What will your appointment entail? It was the NT scan followed by regular OB visit (pee in cup, pap, Doppler) 

    How are you feeling about it? I'm on cloud 9 right now that things seem to be looking good. Loved seeing my babe moving around in there :love:

  • Should I be concerned that I haven't had a single pap in 4 appointments? My OB/GYN said that since I had just had my well womens 6mo prior she wouldn't have to do one again.

  • @PizzaMonster3 my midwife isn't doing one until after baby. I haven't had one in 4 years but since I've never had an abnormal one, she waits.

  • Thanks @hippiegirl884 I'm anxious because I've only ever had abnormal ones and had to do 2 colpos a few years ago. The first ever normal pap was with this OB. I even told her to check again because I didn't believe her lol.

    So this is something I feel pretty strongly about- I know the new standards say you can have one every 3-5 years of you don't have a history of abnormal paps, but I personally have a friend who's life was saved because she insisted on yearly Pap smears. Your insurance will cover it, and it's an extra couple minutes at the most. Have them every year! My OBs a pretty big proponent of yearly paps as well. She's seen women die because they didn't catch the problem soon enough. 

    *steps off soapbox*



  • @PizzaMonster3 My midwives have a general "no probing" rule unless super necessary. My GP/gyno is also against paps during pregnancy. So I think you're fine!

  • I just got home from my 12 ish week appt. Heartbeat was good. Although the Doppler was really low. My OB took the speculum out and it had blood on the end but she said not to worry it's NOT from anything internal. It's from doing the pap I guess? She scrapped a little too hard maybe? IDK but she was like you may want to put a panty liner on so you have one ? I'm like no lady, I kinda thought I was past that for a little while. So obviously she gave me one haha. I go back in 4 weeks.
