Re: July Appointments
I ended up cancelling my doctor's appointment today, as she advised that if I'm going with a midwife it's not necessary to have care from both (meaning she also doesn't see any risk factors etc.). I meet with the midwife next week, and I'm excited because I'm meeting a different one who is a second member of my 3 midwife team!
After the appointment we're going to BabyMoon to get ultrasound photos (it's cheaper there than buying them from the anatomy scan, haha)!
Sending all of the positive vibes to everyone with appointments coming up!
Also, while on my patient portal my second labs from genetic testing were back. Everything was good but based off of crown rump length measurements both weeks they have my EDD at 11/18 which is nearly a full week ahead of my given due date of 11/23-24. I wonder if they'll officially change it at the AS 🤔
Sorry about the zorch sadness. Hope you get some relief. I think Ive been on diflucan before but not during pregnancy.
I have to say I was curious about my fundal height since I feel like I look so much bigger than many of the other ladies on HDBD, but she measured me at 23w, so I guess my tummy is just big? idk.
I am hoping definitely hoping it is a fluke because the initial A/S a month ago was all normal.
Had a regular 24 week appt yesterday...all is fine except I might have some sort of bladder infection. My bladder aches when I walk for any extended period of time...I thought it was normal but OB didn’t 🤷🏻♀️ It’s not SPD for sure so I’ll take a test when I go in for my 1 hr GD test this week.
I gained a whopping 6 lbs in the last 4 weeks 💀 Apparently still down 1 lb from pregnancy. OB said it was normal but to not go crazy over the next 16 weeks 🙄
We talked for a long time about premature labor signs and when to go to the hospital. It’s one thing to read about it but it felt very different speaking to a live person about it. He was basically like in doubt go straight to the hospital and he’ll meet me there ASAP. Hope Elijah stays put until 40 weeks!! OB wants me to start kick counts at 25 weeks...aka Sunday.
Next appt at 28 weeks and then growth ultrasound at 31 weeks. I thought it was strange that he didn’t go fundal height measurements. Anyone elses OB not do that measurement??
Hope everyone and their peanuts are staying healthy 💕
I'm not sure I've ever had fundal measurements because I'm plus size and I read somewhere that it can be inaccurate if you have a belly already. Do they take a tape measure and do it? Lol I really don't know
I posted in the sex announcement thread 🎉🎀 that I went to my AS part 2 at MFM Friday. I haven't talked to OB yet about particulars. Baby's limbs are measuring in the 90th percentile though (and I'm feeling them!) The sonographer more importantly was concerned about my amniotic fluid looking low, though it's too early for her to measure exactly, she said just from her professional knowledge it looked low so I'm on strict orders to drink even more fluids and they'll check back in a few weeks 🤞
Just had my level 2 US to check on the heart. There was no signs of anything odd and there was no arrhythmia to be spotted today. So just have to check in with my doctor next week and if the heartbeat sounds normal then I get to go back to all my regularly scheduled things and not be weekly. WOO!
That being said, I very much miss caffeine. I am tired ALL the time. It is amazing how much I was relying on that to get me through the day.
Honestly, I don’t put much stock in the fundal measurements anyways. Five different doctors could come in on the same day and do the measurements and I’m sure they would differ a week or two depending on which doctor did it. I’m certainly not even discussing an early induction or scheduled c-section. I told her she could go ahead and write that in my chart now.
