Re: Weekly Appointments! 5.8
How far along will you be? **17 weeks
What type of appointment/what is it for? **17 week OB appointment.... probably just belly measurement and HR etc.
How are you feeling in general? **This weekend was really tough on my body while away, and I forgot to pack my Doppler. I came home late last night and the first thing I did was find that HB. It is even louder now and as strong as ever !
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up? **Nothing too concerning. I just want to discuss my come and go headaches (I am a migraine sufferer even while not PG) , and I want her to test my iron levels to see if they have dropped. I keep having "cold" spells and woozy feelings even if I eat frequently.

How far along will you be? 16w5d
What type of appointment/what is it for? Just my regular monthly appointment but my doc thought she would be able to check for th sex today!
How are you feeling in general? I was feeling pretty good but then yesterday and today my headaches have returned. I'm hoping it's just because I have been out of my prenatals the past few days and I'm getting them refilled today.
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up? I'm sure I'll mention the headaches (yesterday's in particular was a doozy) but otherwise I'm still pretty on par with my previous pregnancy.

I'll be 12w6d
High resolution ultrasound looking for a membrane separating the babies. It's the fun kind where they want me to drink 32 ounces of water, and then drive in traffic and wait in a waiting room without peeing. Should be fun!
Feeling ok physically, reaaaaaallly stressed out about this membrane thing. It's so super rare that the chances of finding a membrane are high. I'm not sure if it is instinct or anxiety telling me they won't find one though. I really hope they can definitively tell one way or the other tomorrow because the not knowing for sure is killing me. At least if I know for sure I can start figuring out a game plan.
Any other comments or concerns? Maybe ask if 12w6d is too early for the "angle of the dangle" method of guessing the sex if the tech is a nice one.
please report back ASAP!

How are you feeling in general? I'm feeling alright. I still don't have much of an appetite. Otherwise, all it good!
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up? Likely the lack of appetite and suggestions on what I can incorporate more of.
@TallMomma29 GL with your membrane appointment! And the journey/rush to make it to the office on that much liquid, yikes!
@jessafishy GL today with the appointment, I hope your headaches go away. I had a pretty fun one on Saturday too. Not sure what it is yet... and hopefully you'll get to know the sex today!
@canonmom413 whoot whoot! You found the HB! That's so reassuring!
How far along will you be? 17 weeks
What type of appointment/what is it for? Meeting with the diabetes nutritionist to review my week of GD monitoring. It's not been going well, even though I've been keeping to the low end of the range for carbs each meal. It's tough to not get discouraged and fall face first into some dessert.
How are you feeling in general? I've been nauseous all week, but I think it's because I've been stressy about eating right. I keep reminding myself to chill, but then I test high again.
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up? Not at this appointment.
2. 15 weeks 4 days
3. Ultrasound for cervix length and Regular appointment with the doc. They might be able to tell us the sexes this week, but my husband can't come so I don't want to find out without him.
4. Was feeling better then this morning before work I did some dry heaving. I only have morning sickness now in the morning. When I have to wake up early for work. It's so annoying.
5. Just ask about the bleeding again. Knock on wood I haven't had any for a week or just over. But just to clarify when I should call if I bleed (since the nurse basically scolded and scared me on the phone a couple weeks ago )and how long my cervix may be sensitive. I'm sure I have a million more questions, I just can't think of them right now.
@TallMomma29 I'll be praying again for a membrane. Also when I went a couple weeks ago for an ultrasound (I was 13.5 weeks) the tech said she couldn't tell the sexes yet, she said she tried looking. Hopefully they can tell you with a better machine!

How far along will you be? 14w5d.
What type of appointment/what is it for? Just a check-up, hear the heartbeat, ask questions, and meet our usual MW's practice partner as we haven't met her yet.
How are you feeling in general? Pretty good overall but now that I'm in my second trimester, RLP has shown up and it just plain sucks. It's making sleeping a lot more uncomfortable.
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up? Wondering if chiropractic treatments are a-okay as the tightness in my hips and lower back are really bothersome.
Hope all you ladies are feeling well and enjoying your week so far.
jessafishy Congratulations, mama!
How far along will you be? Ill be 20w3d
What type of appointment/what is it for? Anatomy scan yayyyyyy
How are you feeling in general? Feeling good, a little too emotional (i am by nature, i mean more than usual lol)
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up? Im not seeing my dr so i'll have to wait for my end of month apointment for any ohter concerns.
@TallMomma29 i was told not to pee 2 hours before a/s... I pee myself everytime i sneeze or laugh, and thats not even on a full bladder lol im terrified! Fx for membrane!
@canonmom413 yayy for finding the HB. Im addicted to my doppler now lol
@VLillyV how did it go? Regular BP?
Tues
How far along will you be?
20wk
What type of appointment/what is it for?
20 A/S!
How are you feeling in general?
Excited to be halfway and see baby for a long detailed scan. I've felt this kid moving around like crazy so looking forward to seeing that on the screen
Any other comments or concerns you will bring up?
I want to bring up pain management with my ob again. Last time she was a little sarcastic about my concerns and it left me second guessing her recommendations. If the convo goes south again I want to change ob.
Someone said in a thread the other day that she was surprised so many of us were second guessing our drs and it got me to thinking about the relationship I've got with mine. It's scary to abandon ship at 20wks but more scary to go into labor with someone I don't trust.
Congrats @jessafishy on your little girl!
FX @TallMomma29 for good news about membrane
glad your appt went well and you got a quick peak at baby @VLillyV

Just 5 looooong hours left to go! At the very least hopefully I get more pictures today.
I realize that makes me sound like a creeper and I'm choosing to embrace that
Also, Houston we have a membrane!!!!!!!
