Weekly Appointments - 10/16

hedgepig · October 2017

Who gets to see/hear/get information about their little one this week?

Dumbgurl04 · October 2017

Me!!!!! I have an appointment on Thursday. Will get to hear heartbeat on the Doppler and just a check up.

MrsF1017 · October 2017

I have an appt. But it's my 3 hour glucose so not looking forward to this one.

sparklingdiamond · October 2017

I am waiting for my 12 week OB appt right now. First one with no u/s boo! But at least I will get to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler which will definitely be comforting!

Dumbgurl04 · October 2017

Good Luck with your 3 hour @MrsF1017

lund · October 2017

I have a routine check up on Wednesday, but should get to hear the heartbeat with the doppler again

Sometimes I still just can't believe that I'm pregnant and I get the rush of gratitude and happiness all over again!

mcb2016 · October 2017

I have a routine check check up on wed. I need to bring in a 24 hour urine collection because my blood pressure has been high. I know this will be the first of many.

mcb2016 · October 2017

@lund I feel same way. I still have a hard time
believing I'm really pregnant again. Im
thankful and happy and honestly a little anxious.

dirtyboots · October 2017

I have a routine appointment tomorrow. Excited because DH can come and hear baby this time and also anxious to see how the growth is (at my 12 week my uterus was measuring 1 finger below my belly button, so pretty far ahead of what it should have been).

ekendall09 · October 2017

we have out 16 week check friday so hopefully doppler! I'm also hoping to get a little more detail from our NT scan, I never got a call/results and i'm too lazy to badger them so I figured i'd ask at this next appt. Also curious as to whether baby was measuring on track/ahead etc.

sparklingdiamond · October 2017

My appt went well. Had trouble finding the heartbeat at first, but the baby was a lot higher than we expected it to be. And I get to wean off the progesterone and come off of Metformin! So happy!

riversdoctor · October 2017

Wednesday I go for the materniT 21. I was thrilled to learn that my doc will be back from maternity leave by the time I go for my next appointment (18 weeks). Then I have my anatomy scan at 20 weeks, and 24 week appointments all scheduled with her!

irenejean · October 2017

Friday for a checkup, but I finally found baby's heartbeat with my doppler over the weekend.

BarefootContessa · October 2017

I just got back from my 12 week appointment. They couldn't find baby's heartbeat on the doppler so they pulled out the hand held ultrasound. It was so great to see little one in there wiggling around. I burst into tears (which could have been partly due to the anxiety of not finding the heartbeat at first...) when I saw it. I could just watch that little bug all day! Got the harmony bloodwork taken..and now we wait

tooraloorah · October 2017

Monthly (this practice is awesome and isn’t set on weeks)/routine appointment on Wednesday. Can’t wait to hear our little bean.

Mattel · October 2017

I was on progesterone w both my girls. My vag totally thanked me when i was able to stop. I was super happy to not take it this time around.

mikkimikey · October 2017

I had my appointment today!! My daughter (11) was just feeling “off” this morning (headache etc) so I let her hang with me today. Everyone needs one of those days every once in a while.

Anywho, I had to bring her to my OB appt today where she got to hear the baby on the Doppler. She was very excited about that!

pghren · October 2017

@mikkimikey that's exciting that your daughter got to hear the hb and get excited about it even if it wasn't planned for her to be there

pghren · October 2017

I have a routine appointment with doppler tomorrow

hedgepig · October 2017

@dirtyboots @Mattel @allowachick I hope your appts go well today!

queen_bey · October 2017

I am 15 weeks and have my 2nd tri appointment today. I'm excited/nervous for it. I feel like I haven't had any pregnancy symptoms for like 3 weeks so I just wanna confirm everything is ok.

pghren · October 2017

Appointment went well. Got an Amazon recommendation and a prescription for a support belt for my rlp. Doppler went great. Baby was moving around so much it was hard to find the heartbeat, but we did and it wad good too! So happy everything went well!

dirtyboots · October 2017

@hedgepig Thanks, unfortunately DH had a work project that got pushed from yesterday to today so he missed the appointment. Baby's heart beat was much louder this time so it picked up clearly on my phone and he could atleast hear that. Still measuring a month ahead, midwife isn't concerned, said "sometimes ligaments stretch faster or maybe we'll see twins in a few weeks" and smiled coyly. I really doubt it is, but it still has my curiosity heightened!

Huh? Do twins just appear out of nowhere this far along?!

lindsye · October 2017

@dirtyboots, the ultrasonogropher also mentioned that my uterus is just below my bellow button at my last appointment, and baby was measuring a full week ahead on ultrasound. It's just one baby, though! Although this is my fourth kid....

ngolimento · October 2017

@JJMNO1616 I suspect the midwife was making the overly tired and extremely offensive joke of "you are so big it's got to be twins!!!".

That joke makes me want to junk punch people so badly.

dirtyboots · October 2017

@JJMNO1616 I didn't have a dating scan done(ovulation was confirmed with temping and opks so they said it wasn't necessary) , so no ultrasound yet to know for sure if it's a singleton.
@lindsye Good to know! Like I said I really can't believe that it would be. I have none of the precursors for twins and no "mommy senses" are tingling. lol

riversdoctor · October 2017

@dirtyboots one of my close friends didn’t find out until anatomy scan that she was having twins! I guess better than finding out at delivery!

irenejean · October 2017

@riversdoctor What?!?!

hedgepig · October 2017

@lund @mcb2016 @riversdoctor @tooraloorah GL at your appts ladies! Be sure to update us and let us know how they went!

riversdoctor · October 2017

Blood draw for the neural tube defect and materniT21. Nice and boring day, now we wait!

mcb2016 · October 2017

This was my first appointment where my blood pressure was normal! I didn't have my kids with me which prolly helped. It was a quick appointment for me. So glad they could find the baby on the Doppler. I'm a plus sized gal and I've had issues in the past with it. They want me to do an early diabetes test this time around. Along with a baseline 24 hour urine catch. All at my next month appointment.

kmalls · October 2017

16 week appt today went great. Heard the baby loud and clear on the Doppler and all vitals were normal. Now I just wait for the anatomy scan in November

tooraloorah · October 2017

Sorry I'm late updating! Baby's heartbeat was great. They moved my EDD to 4/3, which is more in line with my shorter cycles and conception. I go back in early/mid November for my a/s and 20 week appointment.

ekendall09 · October 2017

we had our 16 week today. HB was good around 150-160 and nothing too eventful.

My only complaint, it felt like the doctor was majorly judgy when she asked about why i'd decline all the additional testing. I didn't do anything extra DD and don't feel all the testing is necessary. She asked after I said (for the 3rd visit now) that I wasn't interested in extra testing If I was planning a home birth. Because clearly declining extra testing = must want to birth at home. She also was a little rude in her delivery following this with "well you know they could find soft markers at your A/S." Yes, yes I do. I still don't want the testing. thanks. Sigh. We clearly didn't vibe.

kmalls · October 2017

@ekendall09 oh no! That is definitely one of my complaints about that practice, they are super pro-testing and early intervention. I declined an ultrasound at 28 weeks last pregnancy because I felt their reasoning for it wasn't very solid, and the reaction I got was way over the top. It was unfortunate.

Did you see a midwife today, or an OB?

ekendall09 · October 2017

@kmalls YGPM (in one minute)

Dumbgurl04 · October 2017

Delay in my appointment update from yesterday. Everything is looking good, heart rate was 149. Just looking forward to my November 16th appointment when we have our ultrasound and found out the sex.

rklinge0 · October 2017

@ekendall09 my ob wasn't too fond of it when I told him i didn't want the nipt but his nurse seemed understanding, when I explained my reasoning. I feel like testing is a personal decision and if you don't want it, don't do it. They can't force you. And I get the line of wanting to be prepared but with dd we prepared for a typical baby and for the most part treat her like a typical kid and because of that she has done really well.
