Re: Appointments and Updates 4/15-4/21


  • When is your appointment?
    Thursday 4/19
    How far along will you be?
    10w3d
    What is being addressed?
    um, I think this is just so i'm far enough along they can do the first tri blood work.  But i'm sure she'll also do an ultrasound to just look at things (she does a scan every visit, which is one reason why i love this doc! it's so nice to see instead of just hear)
    Questions/Comments/Concerns:
    I want to talk to her about working out and what i need to try and avoid doing (if anything).  I also still just have this feeling about twins--even though she checked last time, i just don't feel like i'm in the clear for some reason--so of course have her double check again

  • @brookepdavis Oof. I'm so sorry you didn't get any answers today, but that seems promising that there was some growth over the last week. How did you track your ovulation? Were you temping? I hope you can find something to keep yourself occupied for the next week. I bet it's going to be torture waiting another week. If I could, I'd bring over some brownies and some crappy movies! It goes without saying that I'm really hopeful for you and will be praying for good news for you next week.

  • When is your appointment? Friday (4/20)

    How far along will you be? 8 weeks

    What is being addressed? First appointment with OB, I'm not sure if she'll run tests (I'm not sure what they test for during the first appt in the Philippines), but there will be an ultra sound!! 

    Questions/Comments/Concerns: My wife and I have about a page of questions we will be asking!! I had some uterus pain last week (week 6) and I saw an OB for about 5 mins.  She put me on bed rest without asking any questions.  Soooo I've been taking it easy (no exercise, not much walking), but not on full bed rest (not sure if this is a cultural "go to response" to being in the 1st trimester).  We are hopping a flight for the appointment and going to the "big city" and will meet with a more qualified OB, so I'm hoping to figure out if I can go back to yoga and walking! I'm so anxious to see if I am still carrying twins (i was at 6 weeks)- its completely overwhelming and I can barely think about anything else! Is it Friday yet?!!?
  • @offtoneverland I was temping and using OPKs so I’m pretty sure of when I ovulated. However, that month I had 7 days of “high” OPK before I got a “peak.” The most I ever got before that was 2 days of “high” so who knows. The numbers are all over the place this time. 
  • When is your appointment? Friday (4/20)

    How far along will you be? 9 weeks, exactly

    What is being addressed? Just an U/S to check on the babies. 

    Questions/Comments/Concerns:We had our first U/S at 6w 3d and saw one sac and two heartbeats. So far the pregnancy has been pretty easy (a little nausea, mild fatigue, some hip pain), so I'm hoping/praying to see appropriate growth of both twins. I'm also anxious to find out if they're Mo/Mo or Mo/Di.

  • @brookepdavis I'm sorry you are in limbo, but congrats on the baby progressing.  I know this week will be difficult, but prayers for you and the little one.

    I'm so sorry for all the mamas who have gotten bad news this last week. My heart is with you <3

    @brookepdavis I hope you get good news!! This happened to a friend of mine after she'd had a loss. They basically said we see a small baby who is behind. Come back in a week and we'll see if the pregnancy is viable. 8 months later she delivered a 9 pound girl. Fingers crossed!

    Afm:

    When is your appointment?
    It was today.

    How far along?
    8 weeks exactly

    What is being addressed?
    Just had a routine checkup and filled out a bunch of paperwork. But I got to see our little nugget (there is just one in there)and the heartbeat!!! I was so nervous because I have not been vomiting and have not had much nausea at all. With my previous three pregnancies I have had a lot but my OB said that the baby looked good and that I was very low-risk so excited to hear that.

    Questions/comments/concerns:
    The doctor okay me to continue running. She cautioned me not to exercise more than about 60 minutes a day. I'm also cleared to continue to lift weight but to decrease. Her advice was very consistent with what I have heard which is basically to watch my heart rate and listen to my body and the pregnancy is not the time to break records or try to overdo it.
  • When is your appointment? 04/18
    How far along will you be? 7wks 6days
    What is being addressed? I’m getting a second US because at 6wks the doctor saw two babies but one wasn’t very clear. He said it was too soon. He wanted to give one of them time to progress. 
    Questions/Comments/Concerns, I’m hoping progress has been made and to hear some heartbeats. These last two weeks have been torture of the unknown. My husband couldn’t wait to tell EVERYONE but I’ve only told my mom and brother. I don’t feel comfortable enough to celebrate the news yet. 

  • When is your appointment? Thursday at 10:30 

    How far along will you be?     11W 5D

    What is being addressed? panorama I think that’s test name. NTS ultrasound. 

    Questions/Comments/Concerns: My NIT was high last pregnancy and I’m worrried it will be again. Hate driving to a specialist for level 2 ultrasound it’s very stressful. Fingers crossed all comes back normal. Also Zika as we went on a cruise right before I became pregnant.
  • When is your appointment?
    Tomorrow (4/18) 
    How far along will you be?
    10 weeks 
    What is being addressed?
    First OB appt. ever.. finally. It's scheduled at the hospital so she can do another u/s (which will be my third). I've had u/s at 6 wks and 9 wks because of previous loss but I never got the results of those from my OB, I had to use different channels to find out any information which is so irritating. Otherwise I don't really have any idea what to expect.
    Questions/Comments/Concerns:
    I felt like this appointment would never come. I'm hoping she actually will do an u/s so MH can be a part of it. His school is an hour away so it's tricky for him to make it to appointments. I fluctuate from being confident that everything is fine and this is going to be such a happy great appointment and I'll finally let myself get excited to bracing myself for the absolute worst. 
  • @brookepdavis I'm so sorry to hear that you're in limbo for another week. Sending even more positivity your way! 

  • @brookepdavis I am sorry you didn't get a real answer. I really hope the time until your next appointment goes by quicker so you can get some answers. 

    When is your appointment?
    Friday 4/20
    How far along will you be?
    12 weeks
    What is being addressed?
    NT U/S and bloodwork. 
    Questions/Comments/Concerns:
    Just hoping everything goes well. I know that they have a higher risk for false positives so I am trying to keep that in mind going in. I just can't wait to see baby again!

  • @brookepdavis I am sorry you have to wait another week. Holding out hope for you and baby

    @kbrown2385 This happened with my daughter. My first ultrasound was measuring at a much different date than what I had. I immediately started panicking. At the second ultrasound two weeks later, everything was right on track. I spent two weeks in a state of nonstop panic. Sending good thoughts your way
  • @bfpafter4years Congrats!!!

  • I am really jealous of all the mommas getting to hear the heartbeat! I get they are being cautious but I wouldn't think it would be that much different the the dildo cam. I think I have to wait another 2 weeks :neutral:
  • @bfpafter4years they've just been listening to our heartbeat via the dildo cam during the transvaginal ultrasound... this is my first so I'm not sure whether that's unusual? 
  • @bfpafter4years I agree.  I'm almost feeling left out.  I contacted our midwife and she says 12 weeks for first appt for repeat moms.  It just feels so surreal right now.
  • edited April 2018
    @bfpafter4years same as @ginny_203 for me too! They've just been dildo cam'ing me for ultrasounds and used that to hear heartbeat.

    Congrats on your twins! That is really amazing and so exciting. My sister has identical twin boys and she was a bit disappointed that I'm only carrying one baby.  :p

  • @offtoneverland thanks for the reply! that would have been really cool to have shared that with your sister. but having just one is so wonderful too for many other reasons!

    re:avatar- i thought i could just change the pre-selected avatar to a different generic bump avatar in the meanwhile, but the site seems to be stonewalling me on the account page. i broke down and downloaded the ios app to see if that would work, and still no selection options other than just to upload a pic from my phone; not ideal, but better than what it was. so voila! a recent pic of my cat post-surgery in his cone of shame. i’ll keep fiddling around i suppose.

    sorry to the rest of the thread for going off-topic here.


  • Ladies, I am in the hospital maternity triage. I went for a BP check at my regular OB and they freaked out and sent me here. They said it is way too high. Ugh, this isn't how I thought this day would go.
  • @bfpafter4years - oh no! I hope it was just them being cautious and that everything is okay!

    @bfpafter4years ugh that stinks. hopefully they can get it under control today and it will be easily managed once you’re discharged. pregnancy hormones do such crazy things to our bodies! glad they caught it so quickly. 
  • I was already on medication for it but I guess they are worried that it is so high on the medication.

    Now they are telling me because I am early (8weeks, 4) and it is so high that I have to go to the ER!! Ugh this is to much. All I wanted it to get an increase of my meds. Plus on top of everything, I haven't had lunch so I am starving and getting nauseous because I haven't eaten since this morning.
  • @bfpafter4years I was also on meds pre-pregnancy. What do they have you on now? Hopefully they get it lowered and everything will be good to go. Hope you get to eat soon!
