@kvh22 Thank you! Yeah it’s vomiting 12x a day, an all liquid diet, and still not gaining weight for me over here. Still about 5 lbs down from pre pregnancy and will be 26 weeks tomorrow. I had pretty bad HG and didn’t gain with DS til right at the very end either so it’s not a new thing. Just a very sucky part of pregnancy for me 😂
@ashleaf2018 best news!!! That makes me so happy for you and the fam. I hope that the MFM appt is also positive news. I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well still, but I think you’re in a good place with great support right now despite the HG. Hopefully, DS is being extra sweet to his mama too.
@intheluep at my anatomy scan (20w exactly) the tech said that baby was measuring in at 15 oz and didn’t bat an eye. So 15 oz at 20w vs. 11 oz at 19+4 seems like there can be quite a range for this guys. Crazy how fast these little ones are growing though!
My OB said everything looked good for my scan except the pictures they took of the heart were too blurry. So now I have to make another appointment and go back. That's annoying, but what can I do.
@missy052819 I feel like this is going to sound like I'm trying to be a jerk but I promise I'm not. I'm legitimately trying to find a silver lining because I KNOW it's a hassle with so many appointments in pregnancy. Everything was fine with DD but she developed a heart arrhythmia that we heard at her 24 week appointment (the one right after the A/S) so we had to go back in for a fetal echo - again, it didn't show anything and the arrhythmia resolved itself. At least it's just because they need more pictures, not because they're concerned! I remember being so anxious to get to see the baby early in my first pregnancy and then resigned myself after that incident (and a few early this pregnancy) that requiring more is NOT better. And they are such a hassle to make time for.
@kvh22 100% understand! It could be worse. It more so just how much I have to pay each time I go that feels ridiculous. It's not cheap, maybe its my insurance. I love being able to see him! But of course I sat here and thought well what if they saw something, but it was too blurry for them to tell. You know, over thinking.
@ashleaf2018 That is AMAZING news! Im so happy for you and baby! I can't imagine the HG, though. Im still very nauseous and without the Zofran am throwing up. Just the one or twice a day vomiting has me so messed up. Seriously can't imagine how you feel. Im surprised they don't have you hooked up to an iv, though. Do you know why?
@missy052819 Oh I hear you on that! I was hoping to be taken off modified bed rest so made my A/S at 18 weeks before the holidays (and new plan year). Now I'm pissed b/c I wasn't until early January anyways. With delivery, we'll hit our OOP Max so anything after January 1 I'm not worried about. When I bled and for my follow up, those ultrasounds at my doctor are "out of network" so cost almost $500 each but the A/S is actually less OOP for me. Didn't hit the max last year so almost $1000 because of my bleeding...ugh!
@kvh22 I'm jaw dropping at that $500! Friday I had to pay $158 and today $114. The first time I paid $250 but they refunded me $140. I told the baby no treats until after this scan, he needs to settle down in there lol.
@missy052819, yea my insurance was weirdly particular about which labs and xray places I went to so my doctor's office is out of network. The price is the full cost billed with nothing being paid by insurance. Like I said, the A/S costs a lot less after insurance.
ETA: DH got the option for GREAT insurance this year (same company, they're moving offices and it's going to suck for 90% of people's commutes so they are trying to avoid retention issues). We're saving $3,000 this year on our OOP max since it's way lower and a lot more is in network so I'm just writing off the $1,000 and trying not to think about it. I thought I was miscarrying so $500 to know my baby still has a heartbeat and then another to get more answers ASAP once you could see more when the blood stopped (the term hemorrhage is legitimate in SCH) is worth it to me. I've been more pissed about $200 for an MMR titer when I didn't know the lab was out of network but that actually saved me a bunch when I did my first pregnancy bloodwork since I made sure I was at an in network place (my dr.'s office has a lab but it's wasn't in network even though the doctor was).
@expandcontract Mostly because my weight has been fluctuating, it’ll go down 10lbs and then go back up and the doctor says “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it” when it goes back up, and then it inevitably goes down again. Also baby is measuring well at 1 lb 6 oz; so they tend to err on the side of less interventions if mama isn’t losing weight consistently and baby is growing well. I’ve also switched OBs in the last 2 weeks since we moved across the state so even though I’ve been on so many different meds up until this point, the new OB wants me to try being on just Zofran since the combo hasn’t seemed to help. I don’t think they’ve ruled out a PICC line but they’re putting it off for now.
