I got my preregistration appointment this week. Isn't it crazy how fast/slow it is all going by? I'm starting my every 2 weeks appointments soon too! The scary part of that is that I have to do the rotation of all the Drs in the practice, so I won't see my dr until 34 weeks (I feel like he knows me and my situation. It's going to be interesting seeing the other Drs and going through the explanations all over again : ) ).
Here now. Ultrasound showed placenta had moved, cervix is nice and long, and baby is head down. He's measuring 66% weight wise. Drank the glucose drink and waiting to see the doctor.
@tova24 I feel the same way.. some days I can't believe I'm almost in the 3rd trimester, and other days it feels like time is dragging by. Good luck seeing the other Doctors - at least if you end up with one for delivery, it won't be a total stranger!
@Southernmama15 Sounds like a great appointment! Good luck with the glucose test - fingers crossed it's a pass!
I had a regular appointment with my midwife yesterday. Everything is measuring well. Baby has really good aim in kicking the fetal doppler which I found impressive. I was also given my glucose drink and told to contact a lab next week or the week after to do my one hour test. They even told me I could go to the hospital closer to me to get the bloodwork done (my midwife is at the nicer one that's farther away and a pain in the ass to get to during afternoon commute times).
had a regular appointment with midwife yesterday. fundal height measure 2cm behind but midwife didn't seem concerned. @SpotConlon my LO was kicking the doppler like crazy too they almost didn't get a good reading for his heart. my iron is also low which doesn't surprise me too much cause i'm horrible at taking my vitamins
Had an ultrasound and appointment today. Baby boy is measuring perfectly and in the 48th percentile. Ultrasound tech even threw in a free 3D image for us! Since I have high blood pressure in the office(normal at home), doctor wants me to have a growth ultrasound every 3 weeks starting at 32 weeks. I'm fine with seeing my baby more!
Had a regular 24 week appointment today and told them I have been having shortness of breath since Tuesday. Been dealing with it because I thought it was a normal. They said although it can be normal they said this was my third and I never had it with the other two. So of course they said it could be three things, hormonal surge,baby's position or a pulmonary embolism. Wanted to admit me to the hospital but I convinced them that I wasn't in any pain just couldn't catch my breath or talk for extended periods of time. They agreed if anything changes to go immediately to the er,but otherwise will call me Monday to check if I feel any better. If not then do x Rays. That is why they wanted to admit me. Aghhh. Hoping it's just the baby and hormonal!
I had a 25 week appointment today. Doctor was concerned about my weight gain (18 pounds so far). She kind of made me feel bad about it. Guess I have to make sure to eat a little healthier going forward.
