Weekly Appointments Check-in 2/11-2/17

[salmon2017]

laurenash323 did you manage to get an earlier appointment with your OB?

[laurenash323]

salmon2017, yes! I actually ended up going in yesterday for an ultrasound which was amazing. All of my ultrasounds had been bedside until then. So it was great to see the baby moving all around and get a lot of great measurements and pictures. Even though it was supposed to just be a cervix check, she pretty much did an NT scan. I see my OB in 2 weeks. It would've been earlier, but she's out next week. She has already read my file from my specialist, so I think we are on a good path now

Did you get your Panorama results?

Awesome news all round! No results yet on my end. I called to pester my doctor's office this morning and they assured me that they will call as soon as they arrive. I will probably call and pester them again tomorrow. Can't help myself!

I had my appointment today. I'm measuring 8w4d so my new EDD is September 24th. Baby's heart rate was 158. It was so amazing to see it fluttering. It brings tears to my eyes every time I get to see it.

I know it says 8w3d on the pic but that was what the technician typed in and since I measured 8w4d, they want to move my EDD up by a day. I know, kinda stupid, but whatever.

Had my appt Tuesday afternoon. I'm 8 weeks and change.

Both babies are doing good.

Yes, both.

BOTH.

First 24 hrs was a bit of panicking. I've now settled into shocked but not panicking.

Aghhhhhh!!!!!

Congratulations pascal

[andtheheartbreakers]

EDD: Sept 8

How many weeks today: 10+6

Appointment results, milestones, and next appt (include @weeks): March 2nd, at 12+6

Symptoms/Cravings: Just living the HG life. Aversions to everything. All the puking.

Any questions/concerns/advice?: Nope.

HDBD / US pictures: Just blump. No one wants to see that.

QOTW: How long would you live if you could choose any number of years? (Stolen from WbW. If you're interested, all the caveats to this question detailed there): I read it, and I see the major flaws in all the caveats therefore I choose not to answer. Because the sci-fi nerd in me has to over analyze.

holy crap pascal! What a shock! Congrats!

Congratulations laurenash323 - so glad the panorama came up good!!

Out of curiosity (as I anxiously await mine) did you get an email from them your results were ready? Or hear from your doc first? Or just logged on to check and it was there?

[pascal]

Thanks all. Yeah I'm happy both are doing well, and I'm coming to terms with the fact that there are two, but I'm not excited per se yet? I'm sure it will come. We pictured ourselves done at two, so obviously this changes everything.

I was not prepared for "here's baby A....and over here is baby B." They are identical, which is apparently a fluke. Unknown what triggers the egg to split.

[laurenash323]

springbeduk I was at my dr office exactly a week after the blood draw and they had just gotten the results via fax the day prior. You should hear from your doc first and then at some point the results will be listed in your portal online from what I understand.

[salmon2017]

springbeduk I did the verifi test, not panorama. I called my doctor 8 calendar days after the blood was drawn and they said they still didn't have results, but would call me as soon as the received them and the doctor had reviewed them. That same afternoon they called me with results. I never had the ability to see anything online.

[springbeduk]

Thanks salmon2017 and laurenash323! Last time I had maternit21 and it was just results from midwives. This time they said they now use panorama and when I got the blood draw the phlebotomist gave me the card to check results online which made me really happy because starting in about an hour I won't be able to easily talk to the midwives on the phone for the whole next week due to being out of the country. But we will have internet access. It says they received my sample 2/11; results expected 2/21. But if course I'm impatient and hope they will show up earlier!

It said on the site they received my sample on 2/8 (2 days after my blood draw), my results were to my dr on 2/12. I don't think they update immediately online, but I didn't even check until today to see if there was any additional info other than what the dr had given me. I would think yours would be done now possibly. Have you called your MW? 

[salmon2017]

springbeduk travel safely, and I hope you get your results soon!

I hadn't called but just did (thanks for the nudge!), and so far, no results yet. . I was hoping for yesterday based on when you got yours. Oh well ... I guess if the lab is in CA I shouldn't hold out hope for my MW to get the results in the next hour, since it's still not work hours in CA yet. So I'll be really hoping for the online info to show up next week.

Congrats on the twins pascal!

Congratulations pascal!

[magaroni86]

Had my first appointment today!! Everything looks good. I got to hear the heartbeat with my ultrasound so that was exciting and almost cried. I'm such an emotional mess!

[wells2010]

Great update magaroni86!
