Who’s got one?
What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
Do you have any specific concerns?

chelletn · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
I hope to find this out today! I think 6 weeks today.

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
Repeat ultrasound to see if baby/heartbeat has formed. Saw the yolk sak almost 2 weeks ago.

Do you have any specific concerns
Not really. I think everything will be fine and I was just too early last time but I think there are always nerves in repeat ultrasounds.

ready44 · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
Somewhere around 8 weeks

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
Initial prenatal appointment with dating ultrasound.

Do you have any specific concerns?
Nothing beyond the typical initial prenatal appointment concerns.

knitknitread · January 2018

I actually just got home from mine.

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
5w 6d

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
It was an initial appt. They did my blood draws and a dating ultrasound.

ETA- They would have done a pap but I just had one in November.

Do you have any specific concerns?
No real concerns yet. I'll get my labs back in the next few days. Everything is visually measuring spot on for my days. The heart looks like it **just** started beating and it couldn't quite be measured yet. So I'll probably be a little nervous until Feb 19th when I go back.

kmath21 · January 2018

I had my first appointment Friday the 26th at 8 weeks and got my initial bloodwork taken. The office called back today to schedule for complete bloodwork again, and I have to see my Doctor. They don’t usually schedule appointments for the doctor like this. Has anyone else had this happen? Any idea what it could be for? I’m stressing out a bit.

jumpy57 · January 2018

I have one 2/2. It's the initial appointment I will be 8+2. The receptionist said it would be a 45 min appointment. Last time I got ultrasounds done at a different office so I'm not sure what could take up so much time

AdmiralKitty · January 2018

8w1d on Thursday when I’ll have my first appointment. I’ve been on vacation so I haven’t thought too much about it, but i’m starting to get nervous! Just found out my new OB is starting Maternity leave on thursday so I’ll be seeing her NP and won’t even meet her until she gets back from Mat Leave. I’m not sure how I feel about that. I had no issues with my last OB but she’s 20ish min away from me now that we’ve moved (as is the hospital where I delivered) and the new one is 5min down the road (in the same building as my son’s pediatrician). It would be so much more convenient but if I don’t get a good vibe at this first appt I’ll switch back to my old practice.

My office does an OB physical appointment during first tri, complete with pap. Could it be for something like that?

dexnie · January 2018

Second ultrasound is tomorrow. I’ll be 8+4. We heard the heartbeat and measured perfectly at 6+4 but my doctor offered an optional repeat in two weeks. He said we had a 10% risk of miscarriage after we heard HB our first go around and that drops to 3% if everything still looks good tomorrow.

Patience7150 · January 2018

I have my first appt Jan. 31, I'll be 8w1d. This is just the initial intake appointment (questionnaire, bloodwork, urine sample) annnd because I'll be far enough along, she'll look for a heartbeat with a little bedside ultrasound machine. Of course my concerns include seeing the heartbeat and confirming a viable pregnancy. By concerns I mean insane & nearly uncontrollable anxiety.

Jyoung327 · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you? 8 weeks tomorrow?

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)? 2 week follow up ultrasound on Wednesday the 31st. We saw two good heartbeats at 6w1d and measuring right at 6w.

Do you have any specific concerns? Just the usual PGAL. As someone mentioned above, my RE said seeing two good heartbeats dropped our MC chance to 10% and will continue to drop after this 8 week ultrasound. My 1st loss was around 8 weeks though so even knowing we had good hearts Im very worried something will have changed in the meantime. I am finally wrapping my head around the idea of being a twin mom and i think i would be devastated to lose one or both, especially when I feel i have becoming numb to the losses in general.

[Deleted User] · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
9/9/18. 8+1

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
I graduated from the RE, ya'll!!!
<img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/rp/4a24tn5u0i4t.gif">
Baby is 8+1, measuring 8+2, HR 169! The RE said I have a "gigantic" baby in there, measured at 18.3 mm, or .72", where the aps are saying .63", so that's fun. Everyone was telling me how DHs side of the family make big babies, too. Joy!

Do you have any specific concerns?
See above. Lol But obviously a big healthy baby is what we want, so I am happy and greatly relieved. :)

*can we just homicide autocorrect, pls tku.

DanyTargaryen · January 2018

@BusinessWife - Don't let the big babies comments worry you! MH and his brother were both 9.5-10 lbs. My 3 brothers were over 9lbs, and even I was 6-something born a month early. DS was under 8lbs at birth, and I went overdue with him. So absolutely no correlation in my situation!

mamakate1616 · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
9/10 - 8w!
What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
Ultrasound tomorrow!! finally!! Then follow up with OB on Friday since I opted for an imaging center over my doctor’s rinky dink set up.
Do you have any specific concerns?
normal PGAL concerns. Plus my MIL (babysitter) has an appointment at the same time so DD2 will be coming with us and if things don’t go well that will make it even harder.

chelletn · January 2018

*TW* Had my doctor appointment today and basically left with more questions. This was a repeat ultrasound. The first I meausred 4 weeks and 3 days. Today measured 5 weeks 6 days (should have measured 6+0) so size was pretty much on track. But there was no heartbeat yet. Dr does not feel hopeful at this point. We took betas today and I will repeat them Wednesday and we will go from there. Why can't this just be easy

bmxerbaby · January 2018

@chelletn , sorry you had a rough visit. I'm right there with you...
I am now left not knowing my EDD....but go back for more blood Thursday, and repeat u/s Friday. Hopefully by then, we will have more answers.
In the meantime, the flu has hit our house. I need a respirator....or a bubble so I don't catch it.

chelletn · January 2018

@bmxerbaby sounds like we are both in limbo right now - it's not a fun place to be! I'm hoping you have a great ultrasound Friday!!

Lcardinal04 · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
I'll be 6 +2 Thursday for my first apt. Assuming all goes well I think I then have another apt. two weeks after that.

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
First apt with all the paperwork and questions, and ultrasound to make sure things look okay. They usually do 8 weeks but considering loss history the lovely lady was like, sure let's put you early! It'll give you peace of mind!.....LOVE my Dr office.

Do you have any specific concerns?
Just the usual nervousness that something goes wrong.

episcowitch · January 2018

My appointment is in an hour. 1/30 8am

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
8 weeks 2 days

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?

Ultrasound, first real appt

Do you have any specific concerns?

Viability. PGAL, AMA. Desperate to see a heartbeat.

*Edit* saw Heartbeat

Redpuma119 · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
9/20- 6+4
What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
Follow up ultrasound with the RE to make sure everything is still okay, and then I graduate to my OB. I actually have that appointment scheduled already for next week.
Do you have any specific concerns?
my RE has basically said no working out, which has sucked. So hopefully my OB will give me some specifics that I can do.

Jyoung327 · January 2018

Sending you all the good vibes @episcowitch !!!!!!!

chelletn · January 2018

My roller coaster of appointments continues. Yesterday at my ultrasound I measured 5 weeks 6 days (should have been 6+0 so that was ok) but there was no heartbeat. They were pretty sure I would miscarry. I got betas taken and they just called and my HCG was over 40,000. They said that's a good number and seem a little more hopeful. Now they are repeating the ultrasound on Thursday. I could use prayers and good vibes for Thursday. These highs and lows of appointments are tough.

hollowway · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
I will be 7 weeks on Thursday (day of my appt)

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
It's for a dating ultrasound so they can confirm my EDD. I'm not a fan of having them before 8 weeks, but oh well.

Do you have any specific concerns?
Not at this point. Just hope the ultrasound goes well.

olliedog3 · January 2018

What is your EDD/ how far along are you?
8 weeks, 6 days today

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?

My appointment is Wednesday. It is my first appointment with my new OB (OB from DD moved away). It will be a confirmation appointment with an ultrasound.

Do you have any specific concerns?

I always get so nervous when going to the doctor, especially for pelvic exams. I am anxious to get confirmation that everything is okay with baby.

mamakate1616 · January 2018

TW

my appointment today did not go well. why do radiologists all seem to have such horrible bedside manner? Ultrasound has me measuring 2 weeks behind, I was expecting 1 week based on ovulation but 2 seems like too many especially with BFP on 1/2.

“Abnormally large yolk sack”, too small fetal pole, HB 60-90 when it should be 110. “You have a lot of red flags which makes this a high risk for spontaneous abortion, fetal demise”...seriously, wtf? Is there not a nicer way to break this kind of news?

So I get to meet with my OB on Friday to see what’s next.

chelletn · January 2018

@mamakate1616 I'm so sorry you had a bad appointment. I had a tough one too. Hopefully your OB appointment will go better.

spottedginger · January 2018

@mamakate1616 I’m sorry for a not great ultrasound and terrible bedside manner. Hoping things turn around.

Patience7150 · January 2018

I'm sorry @mamakate1616, that sounds extremely unpleasant to experience. I also hope things turn around, and that you have better experiences going forward.

starla · January 2018

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you on Friday @mamakate1616.

lotsofsunshine · January 2018

@mamakate1616 So sorry to hear about your rotten appointment. Seems very unprofessional of them. Holding for the best for you.

mamakate1616 · January 2018

Thanks ladies. I mean I’m sure it’s policy to use medical terms, they are just such ugly sad words.

klj0228 · January 2018

@mamakate1616 I’m sorry your appointment did not go well. Radiologist are scientist who typically sit in a room and stare at pictures all day (I realize that’s not ALL they do). Many of them have very little face to face time with patients so they just don’t have that bedside manner practice. Hoping your OB appointment goes well Friday.

@chelletn fingers crossed and lots of prayers for your appointment tomorrow. Hopefully the ultrasound goes absolutely fantastic.

chelletn · January 2018

Thank you so much @klj0228

Jyoung327 · January 2018

@mamakate1616 I agree a lot of these doctors have awful bedside manner and forget that theres a real live hopeful mom sitting there when they talk about sacs and millimeters. im so sorry the news wasnt what you were expecting, and hope your appt with your Ob gives you better answers.

I have my 8week ultrasound in about an hour and I am getting very anxious. Yesterday my whole office found out about me not only being pregnant but the twins (one coworker has two sets of twins so he was very excited and kept wanting to talk about it and the others heard). Im feeling a lot of pressure because I wasnt planning to announce until after 12 weeks and now feel like Ive somehow jinxed myself. Just crossing my fingers everything is still going okay in there today for both the babies.

wkuandrea · January 2018

EDD/ how far along --
Please see ticker, lol (6wks +)

What is the appointment (betas, confirmation, ultrasound, etc)?
FIFTH hCG check today, and ULTRASOUND!!!!! Please say lots of prayers at 12:30 EST.

Do you have any specific concerns?
Fo sho. My hCG #s are low, but growing steadily. My progesterone has also been low (Dr hasn't supplemented yet). Have had some brown discharge over the past 24 hrs but only when I wipe. Low level cramping. Have had MC before, but it's been a while (this is first pregnancy in 8 years, and am 38). I also have high blood pressure, thyroid issues, IBD, PKD... so a lot could be going on in that area of my little body (I'm 5'2").

Patience7150 · January 2018

Update: I had my appointment this morning and I guess you guys are going to be stuck with my organizational habits a little longer...saw a heartbeat! Uterus was too flipped to get a good measurement, but a flicker is a flicker and everything looked good.

wkuandrea · January 2018

@mamakate1616 thinking of you and sending you lots of good juju! I have had similar bad times with my OB lately -- every time she calls with test results she wants to talk about methotrexate, "just in case". I'm like lady chill we haven't even had an US yet. SMH. They definitely forget that we're people sometimes! Hope your appt is good news! FX!!

OH and @Jyoung327 I'm sending you lots of good juju too! FX!! I have an US in about 45 min! AAAAHHHHHHH!

klj0228 · January 2018

@wkuandrea fingers crossed for a very clear and healthy US today.

A flicker is a flicker! Whoohoo!

Jyoung327 · January 2018

Babies are both measuring on track and two HBs at 170! We graduated from the RE!

Oh plus I got some nausea meds and colace! Very needed lol.

klj0228 · January 2018

@Jyoung327 congrats on the good news! So glad everything is on track
