I got to the MFM for my level 2 u/s on Wednesday. We're going to discuss extra monitoring and what the plan is to try to get this LO to cook longer than 34 weeks as well.
Heading in for my first official appointment with the midwife today! Not sure what I was thinking booking an 8:40am appointment...it will probably take me more than an hour to get there in rush hour traffic.
NT scan was great. Perfect little squish measuring exactly 12 weeks! I'm super sad that my doctor didn't order the bloodwork that includes finding out the sex! Oh well.

My appt went well. MW took 6 vials of blood, but they gave me lots of snacks in exchange so I forgive them for that cruelty. I can't believe we'll know the sex any day now!!! It's going to be hard to wait until NYE to open the envelope but that's when we decided to do our reveal.

XP I posted this in the thread for last week by mistake. U/s tech said the baby was only measuring around 6wks and couldn't detect a flicker/hb. I had betas drawn today, again on Thursday, and a followup appt Friday.

I had the CVS done this morning (my NT scan on Monday showed there was a chance of chromosomal abnormality). It went as well as could be. They went through my cervix, rather than through my belly. I should get the initial results on Friday. Trying to take it easy for the rest of the day.

Met one of my MWs today - I like her. Also booked my NT scan for the beginning of January. We didn't bother trying the doppler so it was a basic meet and greet and history appointment.
I don't feel good about things after that apt. After some begging, she tried the Doppler, no luck. Which I was ok with, I know it's early. So she told me to hang around and she'd try their ultrasound machine. It's old. The nurse said they call it ET. Dr just kept saying it was a nice shaped sac (last ultrasound had a yolk also but guess she couldn't see it on this machine?) I didn't see anything else though and she didn't. She said if I want an actual ultrasound earlier than 12 wks, she'd send me. I said yes please.
Before leaving, I tried to read her face and even asked what she thought and all she'd say was 'I don't want to say anything without more information'. She didn't look confident.
I feel so out and just done. I can't do this again so soon. We have a call into the ultrasound department for an apt but last time they didn't have an opening for 2 wks. I now have to muster up some Christmas spirit for this precious little boy I do have here as I wait who knows how long.

I'm sorry you got such bad vibes from your appointment rosey06 . Was it an abdominal ultrasound? Maybe an old crappy machine combined with the abdominal wand made it hard to see? I know when I went at 9 1/2 weeks they had to do a transvag to see things better.

It was actually a transvaginal. And she didn't even have a condom, she used a glove.. lol atleast I chuckled for the quick second during the whole apt.
rosey06 I hope you can get in for a US quickly - is there another clinic nearby you can try as well? To book my NT I had to try a second location since the first clinic was all booked up.
