Re: MARCH Appointments
How far along are you: 8+5ish
When is your next appointment: March 5th
Feelings about the appointment: I'm so excited to finally have our first appointment. The wait has been torture and everything is new as a FTM. I'm really hoping just for good, healthy results
When is your next appointment: Had one today
Feelings about the appointment: Kind of freaked out.
I ended up going to see the OB today because I was having what felt like ovarian pain on my left side. I've had this before pregnancy, but OB wanted to check just in case. They saw a gestational sac right where it should be that measured at 5w5d, but it was empty. OB said he wasn't concerned, but I wish a yolk sac would have been there. I go back in 2 weeks for my first official appointment.
When is your next appointment: March 8th for NIPT blood work & March 21st for my 12 week appointment. Oh and on the March 11th we are going to one of those boutique ultrasound places to get a peek at this little cutie!!
Feelings about the appointment: excited for all of them and nervous.... I know I’m getting close to the “safer zone” when it comes to miscarriage but my irrational brain is having a hard time.
I can finally say I have an appointment this month!
How far along are you: 6w5d
When is your next appointment: March 14th
Feelings about the appointment: I can’t wait! A little anxious though, just hoping we’ll see a baby with a good heartbeat 🤞🏾

~~~ ~~~ ~~~
How far along are you: 6+2
When is your next appointment: March 9
Feelings about the appointment: Just hoping all goes well and we see a little heartbeat!
When is your next appointment: March 13
Feelings about the appointment: excited/nervous! I’m ready to see a heartbeat and confirm a healthy pregnancy. Also, my cycles were longer and never the same exact number of days and I always ovulated at different times of my cycle around cd 19-23 so I’m anxious to find out where the baby is measuring and my due date. I don’t want to jinx myself but I am having no symptoms compared to my last 2 pregnancies when I was so sick and nauseous by now.
When is your next appointment: Monday, March 4th
Feelings about the appointment: Anticipation. I want the relief that everything is where it should be and we're on the right track.
When is your next appointment: March 22nd
Feelings about the appointment: IMPATIENT! 😆
This is all new for me, and I can't help but worry because of my age - or anything I let myself think about! My symptoms have been mild, and I just want that reassurance that everything's fine. ...Is it weird that I took a pic of the HPT to remind myself that this actually happening?? 😂
How far along are you: 7 weeks, 5 days
When is your next appointment: 3/7 (still can't come soon enough) for US and 3/10 for first OB.
Feelings about the appointment:
When is your next appointment: 03/18
Feelings about the appointment: I am switching OBs for the sake of ease of scheduling but am not happy about it. My OB who I love does not see OB patients on the days I can leave the clinic. So I’m going to try a different provider who can see me when I am available. Anyway it’s made me less than excited but I’m trying to have an open mind.
When is your next appointment: March 11
Feelings about the appointment: Nervous. I lost my first pregnancy in December at about 7-8 weeks. My doctor wants to see me at 7w for an ultrasound and an appointment right after, so it's going to be a full day.
This pregnancy has felt completely different. With the first one, my hormones felt completely scattered from about week four, and I never had nausea (just heightened smell and exhaustion). This time around the nausea hit around 5w2d and the bloating is worse. I'm confident this one is sticky, but I can't shake that fear until I make it to the first appointment (I was two days shy when I lost the first one). 🤞🏻
@meagan-t I know the feeling. I hope the next couple of weeks go by quickly for you and you get to see that magical little heartbeat at your ultrasound!
When is your next appointment? Tomorrow
Feelings about the appointment: None really. I see a midwife group and from what I remember they don’t do a whole lot. I could be wrong though, it’s been over 4 years since I was at this stage with my son. I kinda wish I had set the appointment up for closer to 10 weeks so we could’ve maybe heard the heartbeat
When is your next appointment: March 6
Feelings about the appointment: Nervous. Ever since my scare a week ago, I’ve had some anxiety that I’ll get bad news at the first appointment. I also know that it’s still on the early side for an ultrasound, so it might be inconclusive. Hopefully we’ll hear a good heartbeat and get a logical, nonscary explanation for the spotting, and then I’ll be able to breathe a little easier.
When is your next appointment: TODAY!! It's my very first OB/GYN appointment since my primary care doc confirmed the pregnancy around week 4. There won't be any bloodwork or US (probably just lots of conversation).
Feelings about the appointment: Even though there isn't much "to do" at this appointment I am so excited! It makes it feel "real". We have a dinner date with my mother afterward (the doc is close to her home) and we're going to share the news with her then. Very excited!!
Married 10/17/09
TTC since 2/16
BFP 2/4/19
EDD 10/15/19
When is your next appointment: March 7
Feelings about the appointment: Just ready to see a heartbeat and that gestation is where it should be. Last week, I called to ask if I could get my betas done bc of my lack of strong symptoms. My dr. wasn't in, but another agreed and put in the lab order. I was 1 day shy of being 7 weeks when they were taken and when I talked to the nurse, she told me my hcg levels were 39k....so obviously, really good. I think my dr. missed all those notes and all she saw was my betas. She called to tell me congratulations and at the end said, "you're probably around 5-6 weeks pregnant." I didn't argue bc I know for a fact how far a long I am, but then it has made me worried that the nurse said 39 "thousand" when she should have said "hundred"??? IDK, pure speculation, bc 39K is really high and I'm not sure how my dr. can know how far I am based solely on that. I am thinking maybe she thought I came in to get my betas just to confirm I was pregnant.
How far along: Currently 5+6
Next Appointment: March 25th, at 8+6
Feelings about appointment: Super excited to meet my new OB and to get a confirmation/dating ultrasound. *TW* Nervous, because my first pregnancy ended in MC at ~ 7 weeks. My second pregnancy was totally normal, but I am still not secure in this one and likely won't be until 24 week viability.
When is your next appointment: first appointment is March 20th!
Feelings about the appointment: Feeling a bit anxious. Hoping to see a healthy heartbeat! I know that seeing a healthy baby and having things confirmed will help ease my anxiety, and it will also help make things real for my husband 💕
i think the redundancy of it all is what makes it meh.

BFP #2 5/4/14, EDD 1/15/15, DS1 1/19/15
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
When is your next appointment: March 14th for Panorana testing.
Feelings about the appointment: I’m excited to find out gender, but I’m concerned that the results of the screening could cause me anxiety, especially if I have to do a redraw or do an Amnio. Not to mention just having to wait the 7-10 days for results.
when is your next appointment: 3/18
feelings about the appointment: anxiousness. I wish it was the 18th already. Not having any real symptoms, and I feel like that makes most of us ladies nervous. I’m debating having the girls at work scan me but the thought of not seeing/hearing what we should has made me say no thus far. It’s super tempting though.
My first appointment will be March 21st when I’m just over 8 weeks along.
I’m nervous about the appointment- if I get through the first trimester, we’ll be 3/3 on getting through the 12 wks versus miscarrying. My second child has a severe congenital heart defect and even though it’s not likely this baby will have the same or similar issue, I have a lot of anxiety. BUT, now that I am getting my head wrapped around the idea of a 3rd baby, I am a little excited.
