Re: February Appointments
When is your next appointment: THURSDAY!
Feelings about the appointment: Anxious. Hoping to see things progressing. This will be my first real U/S since *TW discovering that I was miscarrying during my last pregnancy END TW* so I'm hoping this appointment goes much better.
When is your next appointment: Feb 14th
Feelings about the appointment: I'm excited and super nervous. This is my first baby and my first appointment so I don't really know what to expect.
When is your next appointment: My first appt is 2/14 (awwww!).
Feelings about the appointment: I'm excited and hoping to see a healthy little Valentine.
When is your next appointment: Next thurs
Feelings about the appointment: Nervous as can be. I wish I could get a scan this week. I haven't been able to find baby with my Doppler yet and it's starting to freak me out. I know I am still early but I am still scared.
Next appt: 2/28
Feelings about appointment: I feel fine. I had a dating ultrasound at 6w1d and saw a heartbeat, and I’ve actually had more normal 1st tri symptoms than with my last pregnancy. I’m hoping they’ll do another u/s at my next appt, but it depends on whether MFM gets me in for my blood draw before then (planning on getting the Harmony test this time). My midwife seemed to think they might do an u/s at my MFM appt, so we’ll see!
@supermom34482 Try not to worry! Most docs won’t even attempt to find a hb on Doppler until 12 weeks since it’s so tricky to find before then. I hope the next week goes by quickly for you!
When is your next appointment: I made an appt for tomorrow, but my first "real" appt with dating u/s is feb 22.
Feelings about the appointment: I keep spotting everyday and having pieces of tissue with it. Every now and then I get a cramp. I really just need to know things are right.
When is your next appointment: I have a genetic counseling appointment this Thursday (I'm AMA) with NIPT testing. Then my next appointment with my OB is 2/19.
Feelings about the appointment: Super anxious to find out the results from NIPT, will be a tough wait. My appointment on 2/19 is whatever, I don't think there's anything exciting going on but I would love if it includes normal U/S and listening to a heart beat (have only seen the heart beating, no sound or rate).
When is your next appointment: In two days on Wednesday.
Feelings about the appointment: Excited, but also being realistic. I know it's going to be a pretty boring intake appointment. I don't have anything that makes me high risk, so I don't even get my first ultrasound until mid-March.
I do have a question though. We are probably wanting to do genetic testing. Anyone have any idea what I can expect from that? Are they going to do anything different at the appointment on Wednesday, or will I have to set up another appointment? Or maybe it will all be handled at my ultrasound appointment in March? I'm going to do some research tonight but was wondering if anyone had any insight.
First appointment is not until 2/28!
I’m mostly annoyed that the first appointment is so late. I’ll be 10w6d that day. First tri is almost over at that point! They give you a “goodie” bag with information and whatnot that seems like it would be of better use earlier.
First Appt 2/25
It is taking forever to get to the appointment time. At least being 12 weeks I should be able to hear the heartbeat on a doppler. I have been messaging my midwife and she knows my doctor so I'm getting some testing done as I wait.
All the good vibes to you and anyone else experiencing scary symptoms right now. ❤️
When is your next appointment: Feb. 19th for my 11-12 week scan
Feelings about the appointment: Nervous of course, but with no proper reason to be. I already had my dating scan at 7w1d and everything was fine, no signs of spotting/cramping (other than very light spotting when wiping around when my period would have been), but also no in-your-face symptoms. So I know I'm being paranoid, but I can't help it! This next appointment should hopefully calm my nerves some.
When is your next appointment: 2/19 (my first prenatal appt--I had an "education" appt with a nurse, but that's it!)
Feelings about the appointment: Nervous about finding the heartbeat--I'll only be about 10 weeks at my appointment, and I don't know if they will do an u/s if the doppler doesn't pick it up that early. I'm also a little anxious about getting the results of the NIPT (MaterniT21). I'm old AF, so all the usual concerns with chromosomal abnormalities.
When is your next appointment: Monday the 11th!
Feelings about the appointment: I'm excited to go back and check in, but wish there was going to be another ultrasound. I have never been excited for the doctors before getting pregnant! I know the 10 week appointment with my OB is important information and check in wise, but I just want to see how big our little peanut has gotten and hopefully hear the heartbeat versus just seeing it flutter like before!
How far along are you: 7w+2d
When is your next appointment: Tomorrow (2/6) is my first T/V ultrasound for the viability and dating scan. Assuming all goes well my next midwife appointment is 2/26.
Feelings about the appointment: Freaked out for absolutely no reason. I have been symptom-y and definitely feel pregnant but I am just terrified there won't be a heartbeat. I haven't had an loss but man...that anxiety is real. I am trying to stay focused and positive but I am a very pessimistic person. Working on it...
When is your next appointment: Feb 20th
Feelings about the appointment: Anxious to see the U/S and confirm HB. Had a prior loss in August, but feeling good about this being a sticky baby #4
When is your next appointment: Feb 12th
Feelings about the appointment: A little nervous since I've had a previous loss, but also very hopeful since I didn't have any symptoms my last pregnancy. With this pregnancy I'm feeling everything! I'm trying to stay positive for this next appointment because I'm planning to fly out to see my family to tell them the good news in person.
I typically see an OB physician, who is amazing...however, they are short staffed on physicians right now, so I had to make my first OB appt (at 10.5 weeks) with his PA. She's really nice, and I know her professionally (I work at the hospital), but have never seen her for care. I have a terrifying fear that she won't be able to find the HB with the handheld doppler at that appointment. One, it's just over 10 weeks, and two, I'm more on the "fluffy" side. If she can't find it, wwyd? I feel like I need to insist on an ultrasound to calm my nerves (I've had 3 losses before)...but I literally stay up at night worrying that she'll tell me to get over it and everything is fine, come back in four weeks. :-/ Thoughts? Plan of action?
Next Appointment: Feb 26th
Feelings About the Appt: I’m feeling fine. This appt is for 1st trimester blood work. I was taking some nausea medicine but just stopped today because it made me nervous to take stuff but my nausea was the worst this time. I would like to think everything is just fine.
card, lol. My anxiety won’t be able to handle another 4 weeks without knowing!
I have my 2nd OB appointment today (10 weeks) and they do not do ultrasounds there. Will they still use a doppler to hear the heartbeat? Or will it be all about my physical check up?
An the other hand, she told me baby looks good (hr was 170) and was moving around a TON in there. Adorable!!
