When is your appointment? It was supposed to be last Thursday but got moved to today at 10:30 bc OB was in emergency surgery.
How far along are you/will you be? 10w1d
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) first OB appt so probably a pap and some overall checking of things.
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) I'm going to ask to be Dopplered but I'm terrified.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Great!
What did you expect? Just got checked, went over my history and a plan, and did the Doppler.
What did you learn? I passed my 1 hour glucose (eff yea!) and we were able to find the HB on the Doppler!! 175 bpm!
The only thing I was like "hmm" about is when they were going through the list of no-no foods, sausage and pepperoni came up as ones to avoid because of nitrates. Pretty sure I've eaten sausage and pepperoni pizza on more than one occasion already....
New feels? A wave of reassurance.
Next appointment/follow up: May 1
Meh, nitrates aren't the best anyways and a lot of companies are making nitrate free bacon, hot dogs, etc. ::shrug::
But... I wouldn't stress. And pepperoni pizza sounds delicious right now.

When is your appointment? Tomorrow afternoon.
How far along are you/will you be? 11+4
What kind of appointment is it? Hematologist this week so that they can start monitoring my platelet levels.
Any feels? Just worried they're going to decrease even faster than when I was KU with DS. I wasn't even referred to the hematologist until 30 some weeks then, but my platelets are already low so early this time around 😕
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) First OB appointment. I really hope he will use the doppler and the mini ultrasound machine. I just want to confirm there is one healthy babe.
Any feels?(vents, rants, worries) Anxious...I leave for a trip cross country on Wed so I hope everything is okay.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Really good - one little baby with a strong heartbeat.
What did you expect? Hoped to hear a heartbeat since this was our first appt.
What did you learn? I'll be on an airplane tomorrow so he wants me to get up and walk around. I'm due Nov 4 but he doesn't think I will make it to Nov since my last two came 2-3 weeks early.
New feels? Getting more excited about this as it starts to feel real.
Next appointment/follow up: At 12 weeks for the NT scan.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Uneventful.
What did you expect? Bloodwork.
What did you learn? They did a manual count of my platelets and they were higher than my previous bloodwork. Don't have to recheck until the summer then go from there. Hematologist was not really concerned.
New feels? Nada
Next appointment/follow up: OB regular check next Thursday, NT next Friday.
How was it? NT scan went so well! What did you expect? I was just hoping it wasn't too early and that baby would cooperate What did you learn? My uterus is still very tilted New feels? I feel like I can finally loosen up, be excited and relax! Next appointment/follow up: Follow up with doctor in in 2 weeks
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) OB, I hope an ultrasound.
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) PGAL brain never stops. It's been stopping me from ordering an Easter announcement shirt for DS. Hoping everything is okay and I can pull the trigger!
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? great! We got to see the baby wiggling all around and waving hello.
What did you expect? I expected to have to do more. I walked out of there telling DH, while I loved being able to see the baby again and it definitely kept PGAL brain at bay, I'm not sure why I had an appointment. It was another ultrasound and OB just reiterated what we went over 2 weeks ago.
Next appointment/follow up: in 2 weeks for NT scan and OB appt.
What did you expect? To see our little bubb again for an NT scan and hopefully all looked ok.
What did you learn? Posterior placenta, measuring right on track for 12w 2d with a heartbeat of 159 and some pretty cute acrobatics. Midwife appointment after was literally a few minutes - BP, a few questions, and a quick doppler.
New feels? Love that DH was there, he was giddy about seeing the baby wiggle around. Really happy morning.
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) OB, just regular checkup. No ultrasound.
AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Fine. Doctor had an early procedure and was 30 min late and the nurse had trouble me finding the heartbeat but the 2nd nurse picked it up right away. 168!
What did you expect? Just the Doppler
What did you learn? Nothing new
New feels?
Next appointment/follow up: May 11 for genetic testing[/quote]

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? It was ok.
What did you expect? Just vitals and checking with the doppler
What did you learn? I haven't gained any weight since last appointment and my blood pressure is good. Also she found the HB but it was waaaaay over to the right which she said was a bit odd. HB was in the 160's
New feels? Even though we heard the HB, hard not to still be worried. Other than being a little puffy, I'm still not showing at all. I'm still in my regular jeans and there's lots of room there. It seems a bit weird to me since this is my 3rd pregnancy that's got this far. With DS I popped at 11 weeks, it was maternity pants and no looking back. Maybe because she's pushing over to the right instead of out? Who knows.
Next appointment/follow up: Next regular visit on May 8, Anatomy Scan on May 22nd (already!?!?)
bootsorhearts Since 9 weeks baby has been practically on my right ovary, that's where I'd find her with my home doppler. Finally this week at 12 weeks, she's in the middle. Weird.
