Tell us about your appointments here! Any questions or concerns you have, and how it went!
This will switch to a weekly thread later, but it’s still early for us and I know a lot of us ladies don’t have appointments until January.

Re: December Appointments Thread
I have ave my first appt with my OB on 12/17 and they made it sound like she will most likely have me do another u/s next week to check on things.
Im not too worried with not seeing the heartbeat today. It was exactly the same with my first and the nect weeks u/s showed him growing and a healthy heartbeat.
My DH came with to the appt and of course, as it is every time I go to a women's center, random strangers talked to us in the waiting room and it freaked him out lol
My first dating us for my midwife is next Thursday... I'll be 6 weeks on the dot for it and hoping to see a viable heartbeat. I had already made a confirmation appt with my GYN on the 31st and he will also do an us in his office. Other than that, first official appt with my midwife is jan 10
She said I may be a good candidate for a VBAC which I didn’t expect. I have always just figured my babies now on would be Repeat CSections. She said that vaginal birth would be better for the baby if I am able and that I have less than 1% of uterine rupture. I did some research this afternoon and I’m still thinking I want a RCS.
She also talked me into doing first trimester screening, the one where they do an ultrasound to measure the neck and take a blood sample of mine. I said no to all others and would have to this one too but dd had congenital heart defects, and she said sometimes there can be cardiovascular indicators during this test. So I opted in. She said this baby will have a fetal echocardiogram because of dds heart problems. So I feel better about that.
I also am still spotting so she sent me down for an ultrasound that shows the same small SCH. Hope it heals before our baby moon in 23 days.
Then I had all my blood drawn at the labs

However, I'm still wanting to deny the early tests. We did the quad panel with dd1 and were told she has a high chance of having Downs. Never once did they say it could have also been a heart issue and there wasn't a fetal echo done. I worried the whole pregnancy and the first thing I asked was if she had Downs. It kinda ruined the last 20 weeks. We refused the screen with dd2.
I'm extremely annoyed, the insurance apparently won't approve what the doctor wants to prescribe for nausea until 3 other prescriptions have failed. That just seems insane to me. You are denying a pregnancy lady nausea meds? Really insurance? I hate our healthcare system.
