Who has appointments this week?

izza2 · January 2018

Excited for more anatomy scans!

MissKittyDanger · January 2018

OB appt tomorrow.
Hoping to pre-book some April appts so I can plan out what I'm doing, especially since one day I'll be seeing my mum - she's coming to my appt that day if I have one, which I likely will.

I think this one my OB will book my glucose test. I may ask about it if she doesn't book, to at least get an idea.

Anatomy scan and 20 week OB appt on Friday. I'm really excited to see the little bean again! We've only had one scan at 8 weeks. Am I the only one paranoid that our NIPT testing reported the wrong sex? We are so excited to have a daughter, but I keep reminding everyone that its only 99% accurate - especially my mother who has already bought half of the baby girl section at Carters. haha...We'll know for sure in 4 days

Good luck to everyone with appointments this week!

I have 20 week anatomy scan this Wednesday. I will only be 19+4. I don’t know why my OB has me schedule it early. She wanted me to have it last week, but the US department couldn’t find a 2 hour window which is required for two.

MissKittyDanger · January 2018

@katelynrae86 I was paranoid as well, but our tech said she got a good shot {legs still crossed but view of under the butt} so there was no question in her mind.
From my understanding, most techs will tell you they aren't able to confirm if there's a question. If you're concerned, look into the 3D ultrasound

We looked at that as an option since U/S 1, little miss decided to be complicated lol We anticipated another issue, so we got info on 3D one just in case.

Reg 20 week OB on Friday!

Anyone else get results if you were taking the early glucose test? My doctor called and said mine came back normal. I checked online and it was a 76. I know your pancreas works over time to process the glucose but I find it weird that it was lower than my typical fasting glucose, which is usually in the 80s. I'm sure I'm reading too much into it and the doctor said it was fine but I can't help but wonder if I'm at risk for insulin resistance eventually if my pancreas pumps it out like that. Is my pancreas a champ or going to end up screwing me over in the long run?

Go figure, all I wanted was to pass and now I'm questioning it haha it certainly makes sense though now why I felt so crappy afterwards. That's one heck of a nose dive in an hour.

ramennoodlegif · January 2018

@amys614 Mine was a 125, which is just below the cutoff. My average fasting BG is around 90. Your body does crazy ish when pregnant. Be mindful of it after baby comes, but don't let it totally freak you out.

catlady1215 · January 2018

@amys614 my fasting was 78 and at one hour I was at 138. did you fast for the test? not that could mean much cause everyones body seems to react differently whether fasting or not.
like kfren said, the body does crazy things. Maybe just take not if you feel off often etc and tell your doctor if you're concerned.

sabby2 · January 2018

Anatomy scan and 20 week appointment tomorrow!!! I'm so excited to see this baby again and hopefully find out if it's a boy or girl!! I have no gut feeling so I'm pumped!!

LaceyBee522 · January 2018

Anatomy scan this morning! We're team green, but this is all I keep thinking of:

MissKittyDanger · January 2018

OB update: all good with little girl so far

Healthy heartbeat. Scan showing great. I may have misunderstood, but placenta wall near the back which is why I'm feeling strong kicks.
No concerns so far

Also OB met my H's doppleganger that just became a first time dad

LaceyBee522 · January 2018

Finally finished world's longest anatomy scan! All that they could see looked good. Have to go back again next week to try to get the rest. Couldn't get any face or heart on A because A was looking away from us. We got almost all of B, but need more heart scans. Obviously, B is my favorite child right now.

doxiemoxie212 · January 2018

@LaceyBee522 Baby A needs to get his/her isht together! Step up your game!

Is it wrong that if I were in your situation (especially if I were as strong as you and able to remain team green lol so they'd be baby a and baby b the whole time) I'd try to keep a journal of my pregnancy specifically to pinpoint who was the better child in utero? And then I'd whip it out for special occasions like, "On February 12, 2018, you were uncooperative with my scan, and it was frustrating, but on March 9, 2018, you were not party to kicking me in the ribs, unlike your brother/sister who was a real asshole that day."

megara5 · January 2018

I have my 20 week OB appt tomorrow at 10 am. Then my anatomy scan at 1 pm.

llamamama14 · February 2018

@LaceyBee522 Will they able to differentiate between baby A and baby B at the next US (assuming same sex, which I know you don't know.) In other words, will baby "A" consistently be baby "A" before birth?

Also- I have childhood twin friends who sometimes would get asked "how do you know you're really Katherine?" (AKA did your identities unintentionally get switched as newborns...) My friend would reply shut the f!@# up, you think I don't already have enough identity issues as a twin?!

LaceyBee522 · February 2018

@doxiemoxie212 Riiight! And A was my favorite going into it. I think I might have to start journaling. Lol!

@llamamama14 Yes, A is always A and B is always B. They keep track of which is which by where they are connected via the umbilical cord in relation to my cervix. It is apparently really important to keep track of which is which for growth tracking purposes.

llamamama14 · February 2018

@LaceyBee522 I see. Interesting. It makes sense that they'd need to track. I guess with twins they're probably monitoring growth more closely, too. Then I guess at birth you'll know which is A and B based on weight.

aharv77 · February 2018

I had never thought about how they keep track of twin babies in the womb! But it totally makes sense why. @LaceyBee522 are you the only mama having multiples on our board?

lrichhx05 · February 2018

I had my anatomy scan today and we found out we're having another girl! I was convinced this one was a boy so it was a surprise, but we're so excited. Even more important, everything looked great and right on track.

doxiemoxie212 · February 2018

@LaceyBee522 did we talk about this already? Have you guys decided how you're going to determine which baby gets which name if they end up B/B or G/G? Personality? Whoever comes out first? Just assign A a name, B a name?

LaceyBee522 · February 2018

@harveyabbey77 I think I might be the only one now. There were a few others in the beginning, *TW* but I think a couple had losses (babies shared placentas, which is really high risk) *TW* and I think one other just stopped posting. If I'm wrong about that, I'd love to know. It would be great to compare the weird twin ish with someone else on here.

@doxiemoxie212 I don't know how we're going to assign names. We know we're each picking one boy and one girl name approved by both of us. I keep saying I need to see them before I name them, so we'll probs go with looks/personalities on arrival. Lol!

doxiemoxie212 · February 2018

@LaceyBee522 I think that's a solid plan. I think that'd be my plan too. I think DH would want to do "first arrival, second arrival" though, and then we'd fight about that... so... I hope your DH agrees with you!

bearmoons · February 2018

Had my anatomy scan Tuesday and 20 week yesterday. Everything is great, she just wouldn't show us her face. So I go back in 4 weeks for another attempt. She's also a little ahead on measurements, which doesn't surprise me because MH is a big dude.

katelynrae86 · February 2018

We had our anatomy scan this morning! I posted her cute little profile in June bugs...and I was just happy to hear that she is a she and all the cute little girly clothes we've been buying will go to good use

Might have to go back to get more pics of her spine as she didn't want to flip for long.

I had an OB check scheduled for 8:30, which is why I had the ultrasound at 7:15...and poor DH is working swings so he didn't get home until after midnight. The imaging center is in the same building as my OB office, so we were getting hubby coffee in between appts when I got a call from my doctors office. She had a c section start late and they've moved my appt to 10:50. We live 40 minutes from the office, so I'm not coming back up in 2 hours and not hanging out that long...so we went to breakfast instead

I was able to reschedule for next week. Understandable, things happen, but annoying none the less.

Now I'm just looking forward to my pint of half baked tonight. And since DH is working late, there's a good possibility I will eat it in bed watching trashy TV
