I was sitting in the waiting room before my 36 week appointment thinking I wish I could have another ultrasound, but glad that I didn't NEED to. Then I was measured small and she wanted me to have an u/s the next week. I was worried, though I didn't need to be, but glad I got to see him again.
How was it? Boring, but I was thankful to hear that little heartbeat!
What did you learn? Seems to be doing fine! Also, I should cut back on the junk food.
New feels? A little irritated, they don't do the A/S till 22 weeks and they send you to MFM for the higher level us. Just inconvenient. Can't believe I have to wait another month!!
Next appointment/follow up: First week of June, I have both my reg midwife appt as well as my A/S.
What did you learn? My fundal height is measuring at 20 weeks and the right side of my uterus is higher than my left- completely random haha Heart rate in the 150s.
New feels? Excited that my next appointment is the anatomy scan!. I was happy to finally hear the heartbeat, we had only seen it on ultrasounds up to this point.
Next appointment/follow up: May 24th- anatomy scan and MD appointment
I asked questions like a total dweeb. A million of them. He was patient and suffered/humored me. But still a million questions.
What did you expect?
To have to redo testing for pree. But nope. He has enough baseline info like mkrupar said.
What did you learn?
I am not imagining things. I do think my fundal height is at my belly button. And I am right. And this kid does hang out low. He was looking for the hb, he started high, and then was like, oh yeah. You said it is low. Moved down to my hairline, sweet bliss of a heartbeat. 145-150. And a profound kick at the Doppler. Apparently, not a fan.
New feels?
Just a sigh of relief. Pgal brain kicked in over the past few days. It was a relief to hear the hb and know that everything is ok.
Next appointment/follow up:
May 22 for as June 2 (I think if my goldfish brain remembers) for next ob.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Midwife this morning - went great!
What did you expect? Nothing really. Just hoping for the best.
What did you learn? That I'm still under my starting weight which I find kind of amusing. When we started this cycle with the RE I pretty much cut my gym time way down, and stopped most activity. I guess I gained more than I thought because I've been losing it again since I've picked my activity back up over the last 4 weeks lol.
New feels? Nope. Just told to KOKO.
Next appointment/follow up: Anatomy scan on the 30th! Then another midwife check on 6/2.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Good! He got a good report in the anatomy scan. Measuring 10oz and heart rate of 148. Confirmed to be a boy! And my previa is gone so no more pelvic rest (woo hoo!).
What did you expect? Nothing special, just excitement for the u/s.
What did you learn? Everything looked good, but he was so active that they couldn't get all the pictures they wanted of his face and spine. This means we'll have another scan at 30 weeks to get some more pics. Yay for extra ultrasounds!
New feels? They took blood work for the quad screen and I should have the results Monday or Tuesday. I'll feel better when I have those results back.
Next appointment/follow up: June 2nd, check up with the midwife.
