Group 4 Check In W/O 10/1

violetmarie61516 · October 2018

Due date/W+D: March 25, 15+1

Baby is the size of a(n): Eggo Waffle!

Any appointments? Questions?: I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon, with the nurse practitioner. Not thrilled that I have to see her and not my doctor. I know all about the "group practice thing" but I'm a special case and not everyone can handle it. I just don't know what to expect from it.

Rants/Raves?: RANT: I'm FURIOUS with my doctor's office right now. I love my doctor but she's only there 2-3 Tuesday's a month. With that being said, if I need something someone else in the office follows up unless she is available. So....I've had three things now that have happened.

1. I called almost 2 weeks ago due to bleeding with EVERY bowel movement. The message was sent to the NP since it was the middle of the week. She responded the next afternoon with information to alleviate constipation. I have a history of ibs with diarrhea, never have I ever had constipation issues and she never addressed the "vaginal" bleeding! The message was sent back again High Priority and I've never heard back.

2. My doctor has been in the office twice now and no one even told her that I had called and had concerns. My second call was last Friday due to a migraine that landed me in the ER on Sunday evening. Again, never heard back from anyone.

3. I had my NIPT drawn on 9/4, on 9/11 Natera's website stated that it needed to be redrawn due to an invalid sample. The office didn't call me back regarding this until 9/17. Went in that day to redraw and wait again. I have not received a phone call regarding my results yet. Now...I work for the same hospital as my doctor so I have access to my internal chart...I see exactly what happens with my record and when it happens. With that being said, I opened my chart this morning to find that my office received my results Friday 9/28 at 9am and never followed up with me. I read my results on my own!

RAVE: My NIPT results came back as Low Risk for everything! The fetal factor was 9.5% which seems pretty good from my research. Also, I'm having a GIRL!

How are you feeling?: Exhausted still. ALL.THE.TIME. Also having a ton of RLP or what I think is that. All lower abdomen and it's driving me nuts, I'm so uncomfortable.

GTKY: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Cheese!

Due date/W+D: may 23, 6w+5d (I think it may be pushed back a few days at first us)

Baby is the size of a(n): lady bug

Any appointments? Questions?:us and 1st prenatal on Friday 10/5.we're excited!

Rants/Raves?: how can I be tired, angry happy and sad all at the same time?? How does anyone who is pregnant get any work done?

How are you feeling?: morning sickness kicked in today for the whole morning. Not fun sitting in meetings feeling like I was going to ralph all over the table. Also surprised how much my boobs still hurt!

GTKY: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Not feeling very hungry right now (feeling too full from pizza dinner), but if balanced diet is no issue then chicken Parmigiano with a side of pasta and salad sounds awesome. Or sushi! Or just the general category of cheese!

@violetmarie61516 congrats on finding out it's a girl! You're like a window into the future for us

@julwanderlust @kbeers13 I do the same thing whenever I go pee or feel extra moisture down there. Hoping I feel a little more secure after the first US.

@kbeers13 I love Uber eats! It is a life saver when I’m craving something and DH isn’t home (we only have one car)

@violetmarie61516 Congratulations on the baby girl! But are you sure you belong here? You said you are due March 25th and that you're 15 weeks along.

Due date/W+D: May 28th, 6 weeks 2 days

Baby is the size of a(n): Sweet pea

Any appointments? Questions?: None until the end of the month

Rants/Raves?: I have a super hectic week this week and morning sickness has started to kick in so that is fun. I had a work lunch yesterday and contemplated throwing it up in the middle of it.

How are you feeling?: Uncomfortably bloated so sleep does not feel great and then I am also nauseous. I am thankful to have symptoms to know that the pregnancy is progressing but I still want to complain about it.

GTKY: If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? I can't choose! I love too many foods. And right now no food sounds appetizing.

@laeberge3, @kbeers13, @fifthemperorofthesea THANK YOU for the reinforcements. I felt like a crazy person with how paranoid and how often I am checking

Thank you for making me not feel alone.

I haven't been around much the past couple days. I went to my appointment on Tuesday an the issue with my blood test is that my thyroid is hyperactive *TW* My doctor said this increases my risk for miscarriage and stillbirth so I'm been in a bit of a funk about everything this week *END TW* I am super excited and anxious for my ultrasound tomorrow!
