I didn't see this started, so I thought I would include it, because it's one of my favorites. Hope I'm not repeating one (very blonde and very pregnant, so it is DEFINITELY possible).
I had my 32-ish week appointment yesterday! BP was great, fetal HR great. I was measuring small again and it sounds like depending on how I measure at my next appointment they might schedule a growth scan just to make sure all is well but not currently concerned. Next appointment is in 2 weeks and then she'll either keep me at 2 weeks for the next appointment or go ahead and drop me to 1.
@gusgus14 Sounds just like my 32 week appointment with DD. I loved that extra growth scan I got lol!
I go to the doctor tomorrow for my 34 week appointment. Nothing exciting should be happening then... but then after that my next appointment will include cervical checks. I hope I'm dilated at one of them (38 weeks maybe) just because I didn't have that with DD and would like to know my body was initiating things other than leaks on its own lol...
...but I also scheduled a for FUN (and totally not something I can afford) 3D Ultrasound for 2:30 tomorrow and I cannot wait! DH should be able to go and so can my mom and I THINK DD. We might leave her with my dad, but most likely we will bring her. It'll be her third one this pregnancy. She's like, "WHAT AM I LOOKING AT AND WHERE ARE MY M&Ms" (i.e. doesn't care). I cannot wait for tomorrow... but also sleep tonight. I want sleep!
34 week checkup tomorrow, which will start my weekly appointments! I have to do the group b strep test next week - not looking forward to that! Really hoping I get to have a growth scan in the next few weeks, I'd love to know how big she is!
Had my 30 week this morning. Nothing exciting...unless you count Tdap shot. She did mention that since I failed the 1 hr glucose and took the 3 hr one, I should pretend like I have GD by being mindful of my diet to ensure I don't gain too much weight and the baby isn't too big so delivery is easy...My response was I've only gained 10 lbs so...I'll think about it I might be terrible but lady it's the holidays and I'm eating dammit! Plus I just really don't think it's that big of a deal and I know she's just covering her butt. At least she's always nice about it and said my weight gain has been and will more than likely continue to be fine I just more than likely have some days that my blood sugar will spike because of certain things I eat but it shouldn't be a problem. Next appt in 2 weeks will be another quick, easy one!
I had my 34 week appointment today. I had brown discharge and some cramping on Sunday, but because it was brown I figured I would wait until my appointment to bring up my concern. I have also been feeling really rough down below, like I was punched, with lots of pressure. So I get to the appointment and they decide to do a cervical check because of my symptoms. Well baby girl has gotten herself so far down that all the pressure I am feeling is her head. Doc felt her head with the internal exam, lovely. Good news is my cervix is hard and closed, but she did say I am probably 1-2 cm dilated already. She doesn't believe I will go into preterm labor, but wants me to call if at any second by discharge becomes tinged with blood. So all in all not a bad appointment and nice to know that I know my body enough to realize she had dropped wayyyy down low lol.
@jaclyn0405 wow, that's so crazy! Fx baby girl stays put a little longer.
DS is finally head down! My OB said he's sitting extremely low so that would explain a lot of the twinges I've felt on my cervix lately. BP is still fantastic. Every appointment it stays that way is a big celebration for me!
@missblaze you know that is an excellent point! There is a good chance that I misunderstood her because I admittedly was a bit nervous with the whole thing, but she wasn't at all concerned, so I am just going to chalk it up to who knows at this point. What I do know is if this baby wants to move up a bit I would be happy.
@jaclyn0405 The good news is you are ALREADY 34 weeks, so even if you were to go into labor in two or three weeks, LO would likely be ready to face the world. Much easier than worrying about it at 20 weeks or so... glad you are closed or only slightly dilated.
Thanks @EmilyLove25 and @schaze! That’s such a good point @EmilyLove25 that she’d be able to face the world well at 35-36 weeks. I’ve had dreams on and off this whole pregnancy that she’d be early. So who knows!
It is at this point that I am starting to get jealous of being the last one due in our group. I'm only 29 +2, measuring 2 weeks ahead but we all know that doesn't mean a whole lot. Some of you are getting so close!!!
Also, I'm just stalking. My appointment is next Friday.
We had a 32 week check-up and our first BPP today. Those are weekly now, but everything looked good at this one. Baby is (supposedly) about four pounds, everything measured well, and after some moving around, eventually showed off some practice breathing. (She's not very active in the early afternoon, and I suspect she needed some prodding, lol.)
34 week appt today. WTF to the OB I saw. He is always in a hurry and so objective. I’ve seen him twice now. He saw me for maybe 3 min. In that time he told me baby’s head is still down, that I may drop early and have a lot of pressure, to come back in two weeks, and to enjoy a glass of wine on Thanksgiving. Cya!
Had my 32 weeks regular appointment yesterday. Everything was good, but doctor didn't say anything about Lo's position, and might be waiting till 36 weeks or so. He didn't seem concerned with it, so even I am relieved.
@jakobaby I feel your pain, my OB is like this every time. It's his personality. We knew it going in (He was actually my moms OB and delivered me), we had lots of warnings about his quick and dry bedside manner, but he is also one of the best in the state, so we sacrificed coziness for his capabilities I guess
32 week appointment this afternoon. She confirmed my feeling that he's got his but jammed up/out and right of center. Fundal height measured a bit big (36) so I get to have a growth scan in 2 weeks.
@jakobaby our RE was like that, abrupt and super socially awkward and just not fun to talk to. Luckily he was also good at his job, but I was so glad we saw the nurses most of the time for our IVF stuff lol.
So irritated. I had my prenatal massage scheduled for noon today and at 9am the masseuse texted to cancel. No explanation, no offer to reschedule. Ugh.
Had my 32 week appointment this morning. DS got to go with me and hear the heartbeat for the first time. He thought it was the coolest thing. Everything looked good! I gained 4 lbs. since my last visit, and I swear 2 lbs. of it was all the food I ate at Thanksgiving yesterday. Just two more weeks until my US where they check on my placenta previa!
So doctorcwas fine/boring in a good way. This is one of the pics from our elective 3D ultrasound. He was covering his face for the first 15 minutes but then it was amazing-unreal! If you look closely, you’ll see his foot by his face. My brothers/MIL etc said the pictures were creepy, but I don’t see that at all. This technology blows my mind. I think it really helped DD “get it” too. She kept saying, “baby brother’s NOSE!”
@Peepster I'm a little worried about my Thanksgiving weight gain. I haven't weighed myself yet but with all the carbs I'm pretty sure it jumped from my last appointment.
@EmilyLove25 so cute! I haven't had an ultrasound since the AS.
@missblaze that is really sad. I hope you are able to have it soon. I'm hoping to get in for one this week.
@kelk5 I am also dreading the scale at my 34 week appt on Tuesday. But it’s not going to stop me from eating some leftover desserts I have in the fridge! The nurse mentioned right around 30-32 Weeks many moms get a growth spurt so I’m sure it’s going to be a doozy but whatever! I’ve already gained 30ish lbs but with my last baby I had only gained a few more lbs at this point in pregnancy.
@trudytrudy I weighed myself today and was up 5 lbs from the Monday before Thanksgiving. Ooppps. But I'll get back on healthier eating this week after spluging all last week. I still do have some pie in my fridge though
