[geauxtigers79]

bunny sorry for the scare but yay for ultrasound!!

[summergirl1211]

bunny, the same thing happened to me during my last pregnancy. It's so scary! I'm glad everything turned out okay and you got to see your little bean!

[peaseblossom55]

I'm so glad every is ok bunny. I had an oreo shake on Sunday and it was amazing.

[tex]

I'm glad everything is ok bunny! We had that happen at our 16 weeks appt last time.

I'm spotting again, but I'm rationally trying to tell myself that it is from being poked and prodded on Monday night and then my long as hell day yesterday. I plan on resting and hydrating a lot before work tonight.

I'm so happy your appointment went well aprilz81!

[neekoneeko]

That's awesome aprilz81!

At the OB clinic for my follow up from Monday night and asked about my glucose test on Tuesday. My 1 hour result was 194. Balls.

[tex]

I has baby picture! Doc did an u/s to check everything and baby is snuggled in tight.

[judyblume14]

Oh, here is where I update.

intake appt was boring. The meanie NP was nice and pleasant. I weigh 5 pounds more than I did at my first appt with DD. I'm ok with that (especially considering all of the cake I ate this week). Didn't check for a heartbeat but had ALL of my blood drawn. Next appointment is my dating U/S at 9w6d on 6/29.

[silvermelody]

tex sorry about the bad GD result I'm dreading the same thing in a few weeks

[peaseblossom55]

Glad everything went well and you got to see the baby carrots!
How cute tex!
Glad the meanie nurse was nice judyblume14, will you have a u/s at the next appointment?

Double balls. Do you have to do the three-hour one now?? I think that one almost killed me.

[judyblume14]

So apparently Taylor Swift has a song called "Never Grow Up."

And apparently that song makes me feel more feelings than I knew I had on a Thursday evening.


GDI. Wrong thread.

I have to do the three-hour but they said if I can't make it through that one, then they are gonna proceed as if I have GD. This should make moving fun.

So I had my first appt Tuesday and then first ultrasound Wednesday. Everything went well - strong heartbeat at 157bpm. Fibroids aren't growing yet - yay!! Doing a repeat u/s in 2 weeks to check on growth and the SCH she found. Growth bc based off of LMP I should've been 8 weeks and the bean measured in at 7w2d - not a big difference at all to me bc my periods are so irregular. Also going back to measure the SCH she found. I'm
now on pelvic rest and lifting restrictions - nothing over 10lbs. Hopefully the SCH will have reduced in size in 2 weeks!

 FX for that SCH going down!

My next appointment will be July 19. That seems so far away, but they are basing it off what the clinic is calculating as my EDD (1/27) based on my LMP. It's not too far off, but I'm keeping all my apps and trackers here as 1/24 since that's what I had from tracking.

Meanwhile, I have to schedule the three-hour glucose test. I'm already mentally preparing for having to proceed as if I have GD. I'm kinda bummed because there were so many things I was looking forward to indulging in when I got to Texas before heading to VA. And the doctor I saw yesterday thinks I might come out of this pregnancy with full-blown diabetes. It's a blessing and a curse because I got so much more monitoring with GD last pregnancy (and that helped my anxiety with how the baby was doing), but there is so much more to worry about. Ugh.

[geauxtigers79]

Ugh tex that sucks. Hopefully the dr is wrong about developing diabetes after the pregnancy. Is that something that runs in your family? I had GD towards the end of my pregnancy with DD. Definitely not fun, but the extra monitoring was nice!

My grandmother on my mom's side had Type II Diabetes, so it does run in the family. It won't be the end of the world if it does happen but it will still suck lol.

[geauxtigers79]

A funny from my appt - my doctor laughed and said "congrats, by OB standards you're now elderly." She and I both laughed. I'm SO glad I switched OB's - still in the same practice but different doctor. We will do the genetic screening, Panorama NIPT, at either 10 or 12 weeks and will have extra monitoring. I guess being "elderly" has some perks.

This is my family history too. And agreed - hopefully it won't turn out that way!!

tex, Hopefully things work out, especially after your pregnancy. Diabetes is a bitch.
