[megrae12]

Day of Appointment: tomorrow!!

Weeks+days at appointment: 6w3d

Will you have an ultrasound? Yes

Heading in, what are you thinking? I'm super nervous. I've never had a good u/s and I'm holding onto ensuring that this is our time. Mostly, I'm hoping that some of blackbird mojo will rub off on me.

Appt on Thursday

Will be 8w1d

Yes for ultrasound! I can't wait!

I'm just hoping everything is ok. I don't know why I'm so anxious this time.

Once we see the baby we'll tell my grandparents. This week is a year since my grandpa died so I'm looking forward to sharing some happy news with my nana. I'll also tell my boss so she can start the process of freaking out about whether I'm going to come back or not.

DanaScullyX, Great update!!!

LadyNymeria, T&P. I hope your appointment is wonderful, and that you'll shed many tears of relief!

Day of Appointment: Tuesday, Tomorrow @ 8am

Weeks+days at appointment: 7weeks, 2days... maybe?

Will you have an ultrasound? Most likely... no. (BOO!)

Heading in, what are you thinking? It's just a boring intake/paperwork appt, and I'll make my 1st "real" appt after. I wonder if they will allow me to schedule a dating u/s then (probably not) and I have this outside hope that they'll be all, "Sure! Let's just go down the hall and do it today and see what we have in there!" I just want a heartbeat, and to verify that there is ONE baby in there. Not the twins that I keep dreaming about.  An accurate EDD would be nice too...

*Update Us! Let us know how it went!

Update:

I had a close encounter with the dildo-cam!!! There is ONE baby. In my UTERUS. AND Encore has a heartbeat of 120bpm. I'm super relieved. No twins. Thank god. (No offence to moms of multiples- but DH might have killed me, lol!) I now have a verified EDD, 3/26/16. So, I'm 6 weeks, 3 days, and I guess I get to stay here in March. She pointed out where the baby was, and I commented on how it looks like a pencil, lol. Maybe that's what's called a "fetal pole"? (I've never has a u/s this early before.) She also explained that what I thought was a baby, was actually a yolk sac. Oops.

Other than that, got paperwork all taken care of, all my history updated and corrected (my parents were down as "unknown". Weird. My next appointment will be 8/31.

I'm so freakin happy right know. I could just burst. Our encore baby is real and gonna happen!!! Plus, I got pics. Doesn't look like much, but yay! Proof of baby-ness.

Weeks+days at appointment: 7+6 unless they change my EDD

Will you have an ultrasound? yes

Heading in, what are you thinking? I just want to know that everything is ok! Doc was joking with me about twins at work today, so now I'm kind of freaked out about that. Haha

Update: Holy crap guys!! There are two babies! Measuring 7+5 and 7+4. New EDD is 3/17/15, but will deliver before then. Both babies look great and had strong heartbeats.

Appointment date: August 8th

Weeks: I think 7 weeks 5 days

Ultrasound: yes, that's actually all the appointment is.

How are you feeling: excited and nervous. I found out about my mmc at my dating ultrasound last summer. I am also optomistic though because this is the farthest along I have been since that loss.

Guise! There is a baby in there!! We have a heartbeat and everything!! Baby measured right on track at 6w3d with a heartbeat of 116!!! This is the best news we've ever had!! I cried so hard the tech had to wait for me to calm down before she could do any measurements!

Wahoo another twin mama! Congrats!

Did they give you anything for morning sickness? Diclegis helps me function a lot better. [/quote]
I've recently started taking Unisom and b6 which really seems to be helping a lot. Since that's basically the same thing (and since insurance gives me a hard time about name brand drugs) we skipped it. I've actually started feeling a lot better.

My appointment was fairly uneventful. Had a pap, found out I have several risk factors (twins, IVF, LEEP procedure 2 years ago) so I guess I'll be having lots of appointments.

I need to educate myself on testing which is really overwhelming for me right now.

Not sure if it's helpful but I had a leep 2 years pre pregnancy and had absolutely no issues. I had a lot of cervix measuring but mine was always closed and long. I know you don't always get good news or hear good stories so I thought I would share

[awkwardturtle]

I didn't want to create an entire thread for this, but I wanted to know what questions you asked/ plan to ask at your first doctors appointment?

I keep seeing that now is the time to ask questions and I do have a few, but not many. Questions I plan to ask:
-medications ok to take
-workouts that are good to do or ones I should avoid
-what is your c section rate and what are your thoughts on that and other medical interventions
-what birth classes would you suggest

[jewel441]

awkwardturtle I think those are good questions. I picked a practice based on birth philosophy, so I got the last 2 before hand.

My biggest question right now is about NT scan and that testing. I am still having a very hard time making the decision and would like the doc/midwife to help me evaluate it.

I also plan on asking about digestive issues and when to call the doctor (like how wrong should something be? I'm having trouble phrasing this...)

Congrats FunniBunni, almachs0786, megrae12 on great ultrasounds today! Twins?! Congrats almachs0786! What an amazing surprise!
