  • @malloryfrommn yay! Numbers look good to me!
  • @malloryfrommn yesss! I think you passed too. 
  • Okay, tomorrow’s appointment is officially delayed until Tuesday. 

    But! I finally figured out how to access the patient portal, so today has been a success. AND my OB’s office and my MFM use the same portal, thankfully, so I can log in and see everything all together. 
  • @malloryfrommn those are good looking number to me! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 
  • @wigglyicecream Ahhhhhh! This is the best news!!
  • I had to reschedule my appointment for today. My h was clearing our driveway for 2 hours and I still couldn't get out in time to go. Booo
  • @leahrnmom Awh I’m sorry ☹️ How much snow did you guys get? I know all of our “southern tier” schools were closed yesterday and today so I’m assuming they got hammered. 
  • @paytonpedro idk, 8-12? But it was so windy last night and there are drifts. Basically all the roads are plowed but if your car doesn't live in a garage you're screwed. Or if you got plowed into your own driveway that takes forever to dig out. I just got back from dropping kids off at 2 hour delay and the roads are ehhh but fine. (I live in the same place as @leahrnmom)
  • @leahrnmom that’s a huge bummer!
  • NT yesterday, sleepy babe. Def saw 2 arms hands and legs. Waiting for the nipt results on the 14th. Team green so we didn't ask for sex on nipt.

    Bloodwork came back from last week, tsh is low but t4 is normal, so rechecked in a month.  Urine came back with high group b strep so im on amoxicillin for 7 days. Fun times. Now I get to skip the 37 week swab and have antibiotics for labour... tested neg with my first.

  • @cas060 is that what they told you? Group b strep comes and goes which is why they test you so close to labor. I would personally ask to be tested again so if you’re negative you don’t have to take antibiotics that aren’t needed. 
  • Thats what the dr said... he had to perscribe the meds.  My mw said we could try natural remedies or antibiotics but she said the count was on the higher side so I just told her I wanted drugs.

    She said we'd skip the 37w swab but I asked if I could still swab and then we'd go from there and she said we could.. so I will. 
  • @cas060 oh you’re on top of it! I had group b strep with my first, found at 36 weeks, which was nbd except I’m allergic to amoxicillin and the alternate they normally use wouldn’t have worked on my strain. So it was good I mentioned that early enough and they were able to test out a couple choices. They never mentioned finding it any sooner than that. 
  • Yeah @paytonpedro, she said i had a uti and I was like, whaa?  No symptoms, but then the dr said he wasn't treating a uti, just group b strep. I was co fused but 🤷‍♀️
  • @cas060 oh wow! I’ve heard of that happening to people but usually in pregnancy you have some kind of symptoms. I guess at least you don’t because uh ouch!
  • @paytonpedro 🤞🏻 Can’t wait for your update!

    @leahrnmom I hope they take a look for you tomorrow!
  • My appt is at 6pm EST so I’ll be here after that to update!!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

    @leahrnmom definitely ask the u/s tech to take a look between the legs! 
  • @leahrnmom I’m sorry you had a rough morning and the tech was such a grump. At least she showed you between the legs though! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I hope you get your nap!
  • Spoke too soon and ended up throwing up while waiting line for check out. The check out lady was super sweet and gave me a snack. She rescued my appointment. Luckily the throw up was after the lab draw
  • @leahrnmom oh no! I'm sorry you threw up and the ultrasound tech wasn't willing to give you hints about the sex. What a day! Hope it gets better from here. 
  • @leahrnmom I am so sorry you had a rough go at your appointment! The early glucose test in the first trimester is really kind of cruel. We are already feeling awful, and the glucose drink is hard to stomach on a good day. I hope you can rest and relax tonight  
  • Yech @leahrnmom what a day. I’m so sorry!

  • @leahrnmom here to echo what others have said. Sorry you had such a rough go of it. You deserve a day of pampering after all that. 
  • Thanks ladies, the commiseration helps. I am so tired of feeling sick. I peed so much which I was throwing up that I had the take off my coat and wrap it around my waist. 
  • @leahrnmom oh no! Definitely agree that you deserve pampering after all that!! Hang in there friend! ❤️
  • @mdfarmchick an at home ultrasound?!? Sign me up! That sounds awesome!!! That would be so special for your kiddos!! 
  • @paytonpedro I just booked one for mid-March. I think my oldest will be over the moon. 
  • Did allll the blood work for fort trimester. It was so much. Didn’t catch enough pee so now i have to drop off a sample. I’m nervous bc last time i ended up having to do a 24 hour urine catch but i don’t remember why or at what week i was at. Ultrasound on Wednesday, appointment the following week. 
  • @katekat8721 I think the 24hr urine catch usually is related to pre-e? Were they worried about that last time?
