What's going on this week?

PensiveCrayon · May 2018

Hope it's okay that I selfishly posted this. Because I GO HERE TODAY! First prenatal appointment! I'm crossing all my fingers and toes that there's actually a baby with a heartbeat in there.

maureenmce · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon Exciting! Thinking of you and hoping everything is perfect!

As for me, I have an appointment tomorrow for another ultrasound and all of the genetic blood tests. If everything goes well with the scan tomorrow I'm gonna treat myself to some maternity clothes because my normal pants are starting to get prrrrrretty uncomfortable!

hkom · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon YAAYYY! Good luck!!

I scheduled a "peace of mind" appointment for tomorrow morning, because I have been a disaster anxiety-wise for the past several days. There is no real indication that anything is wrong, but my brain just won't accept it and I cannot shake the bad feelings. I had a good ultrasound two weeks ago at 8 weeks, but my next isn't supposed to be until the 25th, and I just cannot continue feeling like this for the next 2.5 weeks.

I assume they will probably just try the doppler first, and if they can't find a heartbeat go for a US. Hopefully there is a 10 weeker in there with a strong heartbeat.

PensiveCrayon · May 2018

@hkom Did you hear a heartbeat at the 8-week appointment? I've been reading (because I'm also freaking out, ha) that if there's a solid heartbeat past 8 or 9 weeks then the chance of miscarriage dips really low. Anyway, good luck! Hopefully all is still well with baby.

And good luck at your appointment @maureenmce! If I get a happy scan and heartbeat today I may treat myself to a milkshake on the way to pick my son up from daycare...and also a small celebratory glass of wine in the evening. (Although, heck. If it goes poorly you know I'm drinking anyway.)

hkom · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon We did! Everything was perfect at the ultrasound and the heartbeat was really strong (171 I think). Outside of my own head, I am aware that everything should be fine and that the chance of something going wrong is so tiny but I can't seem to keep myself from spiraling. Hopefully by this time tomorrow morning I will feel a lot better. Fingers crossed for you today!!

lexidawg · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon Good luck today!

@maureenmce Good luck tomorrow! How many weeks are you now that you are getting the genetic testing done? I can't wait to do it!

@hkom UGH!! That stress is the worst! I am glad you are going in.

I had an ultrasound this morning. First time I've ever heard a heartbeat! My husband danced! LOL.

rcultrona · May 2018

First appointment us Friday (8 weeks 1 day). Hoping for a healthy heartbeat and one sack, YOU HEAR ME UTERUS???ONE!! We want ONE more, not TWO! Then is all goes well I can start scheduling all the fun things I get to do now that I'm geriatric

omnommer · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon Good luck today! That's my exact hope for my ultrasound appointment tomorrow.

maureenmce · May 2018

@hkom I'm so sorry you've been having so much anxiety! I hope this appointment gives you peace of mind!

@lexidawg I'll be 10 weeks exactly at my appointment tomorrow. That's when my OB always does the genetic blood tests. We'll also do a more in depth ultrasound at 12 weeks to check for any abnormalities too, but if (fingers crossed) both those tests go well, we won't need any more in depth looks until the anatomy scan!

lexidawg · May 2018

@maureenmce Awesome! My first OB appointment is on my 10 weeks exactly date. Since I did IVF, I am with my RE until 9 weeks. I am HOPING that the OB will do the testing on the same day and that I won't need a separate appointment.

mag1cbeli3ver · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon FX for a great appointment!
@lexidawg I have my genetic blood testing and physical exam with the OB this Thursday - I'll be 10 weeks 5 days. So I think around 10-11 weeks is when most OB's do screening/testing. Hopefully yours will all be on the same day! But, ya know, separate appointments = separate copays! Yey, insurance

kristah2 · May 2018

I finally go here! I have an appointment with my family doctor tomorrow. It'll just be the usual urine test and to make sure things are progressing properly.
Hoping she breaks out the doppler.
Anyone have any luck with a HB on doppler at 10 weeks?

sheshae · May 2018

I have my 1st checkup with the DR on Wednesday and another ultrasound on Wednesday which has me all stressed sigh. They weren't able to get good measurements which I hope is all it was but over course I'm over here over thinking everything.

flamingomomma · May 2018

I have my first OB appt Wednesday. My anxiety has been through the roof, so I’m really hoping for another ultrasound..

sushilove15 · May 2018

My first appt is Wednesday I’ll be 7weeks 1 day but it’s just with the nurse to confirm pregnancy and go over history. Not sure when my first sono will be.

flamingomomma · May 2018

@hkom anxiety is such an asshole. I feel you. Sooo many hugs.

@PensiveCrayon yay!!!

Gwyneddlesliegrace · May 2018

Good luck, ladies!

AFM I have a dating u/s tomorrow. I’m excited to see baby!

kadeephd · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon @maureenmce @kristah2 @Gwyneddlesliegrace good luck tomorrow!! fx for excellent appointments for you all.

@lexidawg How exciting -- congrats!!

I don't really have an appointment this week -- just my NT bloodwork scheduled for Friday. BUT -- I got my zika results back (finally) and they are NEGATIVE! I am so relieved. I've been in panic mode for almost five weeks and feel so much better now.

maureenmce · May 2018

@kadeephd Oh I'm SO glad to hear about your negative Zika results! I know you were so anxious. What great news, yay!

trucksntutus · May 2018

Eeeeeek!!! So exciting ladies, lots of appts are happening this week! I'm excited to say my first appt will be tomorrow for a confirmation visit and probably an US as I'm seeing my same OBGYN as with my first and that's what happened last time. I cannot wait! This day is going to drag.

@kadeephd whew!!! Such a relief and great news!

texas_t · May 2018

@kadeephd YAAAY!!! I've been waiting to hear your good test results!!!

@PensiveCrayon Prayers for a perfect US!!

runrinserepeat · May 2018

YAY @kadeephd! I know how much that was bothering you! Glad you can finally relax on the zika front!!

lexidawg · May 2018

kadeephd That is AWESOME news!

kristah2 · May 2018

Babyyyy! Appointment went well. Heartbeat 164, measuring a few days ahead at 9w1d. I can’t this is actually happening!

kadeephd · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon Wonderful -- congrats!

texas_t · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon Wooohoo!!!! I was hoping we'd hear from you soon!!!

coco2787 · May 2018

@kristah2 with my 1st pregnancy my MW was able to find the HB with a doppler at 9 weeks.

maureenmce · May 2018

YAY @PensiveCrayon !!!

also, YAY on a good appointment! @PensiveCrayon

echo-charlietango · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon YAY!

ebk20 · May 2018

Bummer appointment today. 8 weeks 3 days and they just gave me questionnaires to fill out, not even a pee test or blood work. Next appointment is 12 weeks for the Doppler, no ultrasound until 20 weeks

I switched obs and this is definitely different than last time.

nerdeebird · May 2018

@PensiveCrayon yay! glad you had a good appointment!

@kadeephd aww i'm so glad your zika results came back and you are in the clear! What a relief I'm sure that is!

@hkom good luck tomorrow! I'm sure everything will go great and you'll have some peace of mind. Has your bleeding stopped?

hkom · May 2018

@nerdeebird Thank you!! It had tapered off over the past few days and is almost nonexistent now!

runrinserepeat · May 2018

@ebk20 sorry for the disappointing appointment

@PensiveCrayon yay!!!
