I go in 2 hours for my gender scan!!! I'm very impatiently waiting.

[Crisco Salad]

MFM this week to check my cervix. Only three more of these checks, come on 24 weeks!

[bepandnick]

I go the MFM on Thursday for my first cervical check and an u/s. I'll be seeing them every other week until week 37 I think.

[MissSally]

I'm heading in now for my monthly appointment! Woo! And tomorrow is my anatomy scan. I can't wait to see little boy again!!!

[xxjen015]

OB tomorrow to discuss my first week of blood sugar numbers. GD blows. I'm already pretty frustrated and I know it's only going to get worse as the pregnancy progresses. Might talk about just getting on meds sooner than later so I can lighten up on myself a little bit.

Crisco Salad how was your glucose screen? Hopefully all was good!

Thanks for thinking of me. No news yet. I'm hoping that means it's good news! 

[MissSally]

I had my regular OB today - everything was fine. I think I waited longer than the appointment actually took! I go back tomorrow for the anatomy scan.

[Crisco Salad]

I passed my GTT! They will retest at 28 weeks.

I do mine in a month and I'm terrified for it. For no reason in particular. Maybe because it's so disgusting.

[easilyunamused]

I have a regular OB appointment on Wednesday. It'll probably be pretty uneventful. I still have until March before the anatomy scan, all you ladies are so far ahead of me.

[megeliz1]

I have my anatomy scan on Friday! Excited to see baby boy again.

Yeah it's not fun. When I was pregnant with J I had to do a fasting 2 hour test. The one hour non fasting wasn't nearly as bad.

Well, my anatomy scan was alright. Not great... Baby T is measuring on the small side, so they want me to start taking baby aspirin to be sure my placenta is growing properly (not sure how it helps), and to make sure I don't get hypertension again or pre-eclampsia or go into pre-term labor. Why would they even worry me with saying these things? Now my mind is racing and I'm trying not to be worried. I hate PgAL brain

Baby aspirin thins blood or prevents clotting or something. It's pretty standard protocol and an effective one. Sorry it didn't go as well as you would have hoped.

[jayhawk84]

I'm sorry you are feeling worried MissSally, I would feel the same way. It sounds like your docs are really on top of things though, which is great.

[Tgrrl]

Hugs MissSally! Hopefully the baby aspirin does the trick and there will be nothing to worry about. Did you get any cute pictures of that little squish?

[AmazingTulip]

MissSally, I'm sorry it didn't go as well as you would have liked. Are they going to see you back for a growth ultrasound?

She printed a bunch of pictures but it was like... his arm. And his brain. And his ankle...? I got one profile shot. I was a little disappointed!

She said they'll have me back in third tri for a growth scan.

It sounds like your docs aren't overly concerned. I hope you can keep the worrying to a minimum!

[easilyunamused]

MissSally, I hope the baby aspirin helps. I know it's hard, but try to stay positive. Your Drs seem on top of it and not overly worried.

[toadandbuggie]

MissSally try not to worry but I know how hard that is. They must not be too worried to wait until 3rd tri for another growth ultrasound.

My appointment went well. Heartbeat was 148, she found it quicker than I do! She changed my EDD from 7/29 to 7/28. Which isn't a big deal, I am measuring 1day ahead.

Anatomy scan is set for Feb 27th! Which I'm excited for, because I thought it would be later in March.

I'm surprised she changed your due date this late in the game! Glad the appointment went well though.

Well it was only the second time I've met with her, since o was with my RE until 11 weeks. I think she saw I was measuring ahead at my NT scan. I'm guessing she never requested my scans from my RE.

Ohh ok makes sense. Not that a day matters either way
