My nipt results were released to my midwife yesterday so now I'm just anxiously waiting to hear back.
My next ultrasound is on Tuesday and I can't wait to see my little nugget! I should be 13 weeks exactly at the appointment and if I am they'll officially move my due date to the 16th from the 20th
I’m supposed to have an appointment with my OB tomorrow but I’m basically expecting it to get cancelled due to weather. No call yet though! I’m actually fine if it gets pushed to next week since I just saw the MFM on Monday (look at me being all reasonable and non-anxious!).
Had my 3 hour glucose test today, and I think I passed! Still awaiting comments from my OB, but:
Fasting: Stand range 65-95, mine was 82 1 hour: Stand range 65-180, mine was 180 2 hour: Stand range 65-155, mine was 151 3 hour: Stand range 65-140, mine was 94
Last time I did the 3 hour, I was above the standard range on 3 of the 4. I don't think I'm totally clear yet. I'll still have to do the standard 1 hour glucose test in 3rd trimester.
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.
@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)
My wife had her NIPT blood draw yesterday. We are 10 weeks and 3 days. We are going to a boutique to have an ultrasound done tomorrow. She does not like having to wait to see/hear the baby. Our second visit with the OB is on the 20th. Hopefully we won't have to wait until then for the NIPT results. We did the Sneak Peek blood test that you buy and it says we are having a boy, but those can be cross contaminated. The blood test through OB can't be wrong. Lol
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!
Had a quick appointment with my OB today. There wasn’t much for her to do since I just saw the MFM a week ago but we got to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler and it was strong! 150-160 bpm
oh! And she said now that I’m basically in the second tri, I can take one of my normal allergy meds again! Praise everything.
@paytonpedro I'll be stalking the board to see your update!!!!
I finally have my "12" week appointment tomorrow at 14+1. I'm wondering if they will be able to guess at gender on the scan tomorrow. Who knows. I'm excited though.
@paytonpedro I can’t wait to hear your update. Think Pink 💖
@leahrnmom at my “12 week” scan which was at almost 13 weeks we definitely saw a penis. NIPT confirmed what we thought so 🤞🏼 your tech can get a good look.
So nothing crazy to report. The ultrasound tech pretty much got annoyed as soon as I mentioned telling me what she thought the sex was. She did show me the legs and I didn't see a penis in between them but I'm also not an ultrasound tech. If I had to guess I'd say girl because I feel like I could see between the legs clearly and didn't see anything but she gave no hints. I ended up gagging non stop while drinking the drink for my early glucose test and peed a bit while in my car on the way to the appointment. I'm ready for a nap. Lol
@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
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.
I had my NT Scan yesterday and everything went great. The tech told me that all the measurements were normal. And she offered to do a 3D ultrasound at my house so my boys could see baby closer to 20ish weeks. I think we might do it. My oldest remembers going to the ultrasounds with my second before Covid. I did the NIPT bloodwork and should get the results next week. 🤞🏻
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.
