[peaseblossom55]

thank you meerkatmillie, for keeping this so organized


EDD: 1/7
How many weeks today: 12 weeks 1 day
Previous appointment(s) results: 2 weeks ago 1st OB appointment
Next appointment(s) plans:Monday NT scan & NIPT b/w w/ MFM
SCRRANGO:The nausea has been a little less, the past day or two, hopefully it stays that way. So nervous for the appointment tomorrow the dr we are seeing from my MFM last visited me in the hospital before I gave birth to DD. I just worry they will see something wrong with one of the babies on the scan.
U/S, bump pics: I'll have to add something later.

[heybulldog56]

EDD: January 16
How many weeks today: 10w6d
Previous appointment(s) results: OB showed me heart flickering a few weeks ago.
Next appointment(s) plans: I need to call and schedule my NT scan
SCRRANGO: So tired. No motivation. This is DS's last week of daycare before he's off for the summer. I am worried I will be too exhausted to be any fun. On the plus side, we decided on an idea for our announcement. We told our siblings, my grandparents, and one of my best friends. Plan on getting the announcement set up and telling rest of my family before posting it.
U/S, bump pics: Soon! I need to take a clothed picture. I currently only photograph myself in my underwear/ t shirt (because that's all I've been wearing around the house)
ETA: auto correct is a bitch

[thelittleredm]

EDD: Jan 12

How many weeks today: 11+3

Previous appointment results: Saw a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat in the 170s @ 8w and change

Next appointment: July 12 @ 13+5

SCRRANGO: Nothing, I don't think. My back and hips are killing me regularly as are my allergies.

U/S pics: Nada

[meeggaannww]

EDD: dec 30

How many weeks today: 13w2d

Previous appointment(s) results:
Nothing recently

Next appointment(s) plans:
7/7 (14w6d) routine appt

SCRRANGO: I'm a little nervous this week, we are taking a short vacation in the mountains. It's been on the books for a while but before I was pregnant and exhausted. Hopefully it doesn't wear me out.

U/S, bump pics: not yet, we should start hdbd soon though.

[inomniaparatus]

EDD: Jan 12

How many weeks today: 11w3d

Previous appointment(s) results: Received our Harmony results on Wednesday. Not AMA or High Risk, but we opted for Harmony after a discussion with my OB where he basically said if he and his wife were pregnant right now, he would go with Harmony over the NT scan and I trusted his opinion. Everything came back Low Risk and we found out we're Team Pink!

Next appointment(s) plans: June 30 for 12w check up, will probably discuss Harmony results again

SCRRANGO: Still battling some nausea, diclegis is taking care of most of it though. Overly emotional, lots of tears at work this week when some of my projects hit a rough patch. I've been craving chicken spaghetti, and have a double batch cooking in the oven now.

U/S, bump pics: no bump pics yet, we have some family members asking for a pic and I told DH I wouldn't take one until my "blump" becomes an actual bump and stops jiggling when I walk

[osumegs]

EDD: January 18

How many weeks today: 10w4d

Previous appointment(s) results: nothing recent

Next appointment(s) plans: blood draw for Harmony test tomorrow

SCRRANGO: nausea and puking have been really bad this week (but still better than the 10-12x a day with DD, so I'll take it!), hoping that tapers off

U/S, bump pics: nada yet. No bump visible yet

[peaseblossom55]

Congrats on team pink inomniaparatus!

Thanks! I saved everything from DS, so in my mind another boy would have been easier/cheaper but my intuition has said girl this entire pregnancy. I was the same way with DS, I knew from the beginning he would be a boy. There's something to say about mother's intuition.

[geauxtigers79]

EDD: either 1-25 or 1-29

How many weeks today: 9w-something. Slight discrepancy from dating ultrasound and LMP date.

Previous appointment(s) results: dating u/s on 6/15, OB appt 6/14

Next appointment(s) plans: follow up u/s for growth and to monitor SCH on 6/29 and OB appt 6/30. Will set up date for first GD test and Panorama bloodwork.

SCRRANGO: anxiety has been REALLY bad the last two days. A panic attack each day which was fun. Really hoping this symptom goes away as fast as it came!! Diclegis is handling the nausea for the most part, have some breakthrough in the evenings making dinner nearly impossible.

U/S, bump pics: not yet

[summergirl1211]

EDD: January 1st

How many weeks today: 13 weeks 1 day

Previous appointment(s) results: u/s and graduation from RE at 8 weeks 2 days, first heartbeat and appointment with OB at 9 weeks 5 days. Also got my Harmony results back and everything came back as low risk.

Next appointment(s) plans: Standard OB appointment at 15 weeks 1 day on 7/11

SCRRANGO: Still so tired, sore boobs, starving but can't eat much, generally cranky right now

U/S, bump pics: Maybe next week?

[pibblemom]

EDD: 2/2/17
How many weeks today: 8+4
Previous appointment(s) results: MW intake appt last Tuesday at 7+5. She tried to find Doppler HB but warned the earliest she's ever been able to hear was 8+2, so wasn't expected and couldn't be found. Mostly was just talking, going over various genetic tests, little bit of bloodwork.
Next appointment(s) plans: tomorrow for first US
SCRRANGO: aversions need to go
U/S, bump pics: none yet

[judyblume14]

EDD: 1/26 (but I really thinking it should be 1/21... I guess we'll ifnd out Wednesday!)
How many weeks today: 9w4d
Previous appointment(s) results: have only had my intake appt. Didn't get any calls on my blood work, so I guess it came back normal?
Next appointment(s) plans: Dating U/S this Wednesday!
SCRRANGO: This acronym sounds like a skin disease. But I got my first nose bleed yesterday morning. That's fun.
U/S, bump pics: newp.

[sandj918]

I'm 10w 1d today

I have my next appt tomorrow where they'll listen to the HB with the Doppler and do blood work to check for chromosomal abnormalities and it will let us know if it's a boy or girl. We'll get the bloodwork results back in 2 weeks.

PGAL brain has kicked into high gear. I'm really worried about discovering a missed miscarriage tomorrow. I hate his part but it is what it is.

I'm totally coming back when I'm home to post a bump pic. This being my 3rd baby and just having a baby 9 months ago I'm totally rocking a bump.

ETA: Ignore the pile of baby clothes. I'm going through DD2 closet.

[ellabee]

EDD: 1/22
How many weeks today: 10w1d
Previous appointment(s) results: u/s w/ heartbeat
Next appointment(s) plans: Bloodwork for IRA/NT this Wednesday. NT scan 7/18.
SCRRANGO: Nothing much to update here. Still some nausea. Pregxhaustion. Pants getting tight, but probably just because all I've been able to do is graze non stop on carbs.
U/S, bump pics: Not yet.

[thelittleredm]

Congrats on Team Pink inomniaparatus!!

[lakegirl]

EDD: 1/30
How many weeks today: 9w
Previous appointment(s) results: dating ultrasound: looked good and saw the heartbeat
Next appointment(s) plans: July 13 for a belly check, so far away!
SCRRANGO: nothing new just super exhausted, unmotivated, and nauseous.
U/S, bump pics: got a little jelly bean shot last time!

[peaseblossom55]

Scan went great, both babies look good, no abnormalities so far. They were both moving around so much. It was adorable. It was so hard emotionally the u/s tech was the person who scanned Anne.liese and found the problems and the Dr. was the same.
Blood work was done for the NIPT, so now I wait for that.

Even though they don't normally do them I am getting 16 week anatomy scan as well, it will help relieve some of the anxiety I think.

[LovesMeSomeCake]

EDD: December 31

How many weeks today: 13 weeks 3 day

Previous appointment(s) results: u/s at 8 weeks, first heartbeat. Today was supposed to be our NT scan, but we decided to do the MaterniT21 instead. I was bummed we wouldn't have a U/S but the Dr. couldn't find the heart beat, at which time the water works started HARD. She was super calm about it, walked me into the next room and did an U/S, and the baby waved at us. baby is a joker. definitely DH's kid. Weight didn't change, so that is good news.

Next appointment(s) plans: We get our test results next week sometime, and have another appointment in a month. Dr. was firm that I need to contact their GD nurse, I wasn't a big fan when I talked to her the first time. I've been diabetic for over a decade, I'm very involved with new meds and trials and protocols, and she cited the ADA to me. I was not impressed.

SCRRANGO: tired, sore nipples, can never decide what I want to eat (other than ALL the sugar), and in general super annoyed at stupid things.

U/S, bump pics: nah

[heybulldog56]

sandj918, cute bump!! You look great!

[bazinga]

Congrats on team pink inomniaparatus.

I'm excited to start seeing bump pics here!!

EDD: 1/4

Weeks: 12.5

Previous appointment: last week at 11.5. Saw baby and heard heatbeat

Next appointment: Thursday for NT scan at 13w. I'm very nervous.

SCRRANGO: I'm nearing the end of my dicelgis prescription so backing off the dose. Nausea is still lingering but not as bad so I'm hoping to be feeling ok soon. The bloat is also going and I gave in and pulled out the maternity trousers for work already. I made it to 24 weeks in normal trousers last time (with the help of a hairband and belly band) but no way that's happening this time!!

Pics: maybe next time!

[neekoneeko]

EDD: 1/3
How many weeks today: 13w
Previous appointment(s) results: NT scan last week at 12w2d. Everything looked good, baby had a heartbeat of 170 and was wiggling around. The crazy ultrasound tech told me she thinks it's a girl but I'm thinking she's full of it.
Next appointment(s) plans: Regular OB appointment 7/22 at 16w3d
SCRRANGO:I'm feeling so much better now, just tired and having some soreness from lifting my toddler. 
U/S, bump pics:

[aprilz81]

EDD: Jan 12

How many weeks today: 11w5d (doesn't match up with my ticker)

Previous appointment(s) results: OB Intake today, they drew blood for the Panorama test, my thyroid and vitamin D. I talked the nurse into checking for the heartbeat and she warned me it might be too early and she was right, she couldn't find it. I'm not too concerned, but the reassurance would have been nice.

Next appointment(s) plans: July 7 for first OB appointment and ultrasound.

SCRRANGO: The nurse was really pushing with the doppler to try to find the HB and that restarted the spotting from my SCH this afternoon. I had a good sized gush when I went to the bathroom a little while ago, but it was dark brown and I'm not cramping so I'm not worried. I'm just bummed that the SCH is still there, I haven't had any spotting for almost two weeks so I thought it might be gone.

U/S, bump pics: Nope, just fat...

[professormcgonagall]

EDD: December 31
How many weeks today: 13+3
Previous appointment(s) results: HB at 8+4
Next appointment(s) plans: next appt in July at 16_5
SCRRANGO: I attempted going off my nausea meds this week and that failed. I'm going to try again next week since I will be in the 2nd trimester by then. Hopefully it doesn't last much longer

[judyblume14]

Thanks for the hair pats in the Wednesday randoms thread. We've got one baby in the belly. With a HB of 162. Measuring 10w2d, so 3 days ahead. But they will not be changing my 1/26 due date.

[otepoti]

EDD: 12th jan
How many weeks today: 11 +6
Previous appointment(s) results: 7 +5 booked in with midwife
Next appointment(s) plans: MONDAY!! 1st scan time on july 4th = 12+4
SCRRANGO: Still just gassy. Just over a stomach bug but other than that okay. Oh still travel sick on the local trams.
U/S, bump pics: Not yet baby is still hiding in my tummy fats and no one needs to see that.

[jrun2013]

EDD: February 1st
How many weeks today: 9+1
Previous appointment(s) results: 3 Scans with RE
Next appointment(s) plans: Today I had my first midwife appointment. It went really well and I'm happy with my decision so far to go the midwife route. She tried the doppler to find the heartbeat, couldn't find it, so she broke out the ultrasound and I saw the flicker of the heart.
SCRRANGO: Tired and my boobs are ridiculously large. Like, I think they've already grown enough for this pregnancy.
U/S, bump pics: Nope

[inomniaparatus]

Just finished with our 12w appointment. Baby has a good, strong heartbeat in the 160s. Did a blood draw to check my thyroid levels again, I've always been borderline and can manage well enough without medication but they went ahead and put me on synthroid when I was pregnant. Discussed neural tube testing (bloodwork vs ultrasound) and will make a final decision during our next appointment, we did Harmony for our genetic testing but it doesn't give neural tube information. Rescheduled for a month out.
