Oh okay, I'll start I had an impromptu RE appt today, had a date with the dildo cam and got to see our little blob.

Next appt: Thursday with the OB

How far along: um, I'll be 6w5d

What will happen at this appt: Boring stuff. Basic intake with the OB: blood work, family history all that good stuff.

[cougarette]

When is your appointment? Friday the 24th

How far along are you/will you be? 7w6d

What will happen at your appointment? blood work, pelvic exam, ultrasound!!
I also plan to talk about the low amniotic fluid from the end of my pregnancy with DS. We talked about it briefly at my last pap, but now that I'm pregnant I want to go over it again. (He did say that it likely won't happen again, but they'll want to keep an eye on it and maybe even have me do more ultrasounds towards the end)

[mintchocolatechip]

When is your appointment? Wednesday 2/22

How far along are you/will you be? 5w4d

Bloodwork came back last week with good numbers/doubling, but I've had some brown/light pink spotting a few times and they want to confirm this is a uterine pregnancy.

[mommaashley12]

What's going on this week ladies? Had an ultrasound today! Baby was measuring behind at my ultrasound 10 days ago but looked beautiful today with a good heartbeat and was measuring one day ahead. Thank goodness! I feel like I can breathe now.

How far along are you?7w5d

What will happen at your appointment? Had ultrasound and did blood work. Also talked about genetic screening, etc.

Other cool stuff I'm forgetting.
We just got back from Disney World yesterday. So much fun but so exhausting with a 2.5 year old.

[thechickencoop]

Ultrasound this Wednesday 2/22, I'll be 6+1 based on O date, a few days behind based on LMP.

Vag cam, maybe bloodwork. I'm pretty much jumping out of my skin in anticipation.

[bubblefan]

U/s tomorrow afternoon. I should be a little over 8w. I'm really hoping my H can make it, but we won't know until tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty anxious, eee.

[trinitrotoluene]

I'm going to hop in here to update on my appointment today since I'm not sure where else to put it. I had an ultrasound, saw a gestational sack, yolk sack, and a little spot they think may have been the fetus, but he couldn't get in focus well enough to be sure. I go back in one week to check on growth.

[kboyet]

I had an appointment yesterday 2/20 to meet one of the midwives in my practice.

I am 8w2d today...

Had bloodwork done at this appointment and US was last week.

I'll go back in a month for the ultra screening and next appt.

I had my first appointment at a new doctors office today. And I guess they do global billing? I don't remember this with my first pregnancy, but starting with my next appointment I'll pay $400 each time for the next 5 visits. I was shocked. Is this typical? I'm calling our insurance later to double check.

What? This sounds like a terrible plan.

Completely terrible. Looks like they want money up front for all prenatal visits and standard delivery. It's my deductible plus 30% co insurance. I think this is crazy.

[cougarette]

Wow. I also prepaid my bill last time, but it was spread over 8 months, so like 150 (180? I can't remember) per month. I wonder if they could spread it further out too?

Are you super attached to this new doctors office? I hope your insurance can come up with something because that's really stupid.

[thatgirlrachel]

Appointment is this Friday, 2/24(!!!!)

I'll be 8 weeks.

I expect a pelvic exam, blood work, peeing on things, and hopefully an u/s on a portable machine. They will schedule my dating scan for 1-2 weeks later.

This. I paid $50 a month from 10 weeks on last time, then the rest at the end, and that worked for me, but yours sounds ridiculous.

[bubblefan]

U/s went well. I must have ovulated even later than I thought because peanut was measuring 7w4d but looked good and hb of 160. Whew.

[starmile]

When is your appointment? Thursday @ my RE

How far along are you/will you be? will be 7w4d

What will happen at your appointment? bloodwork and tv ultrasound, can't wait to see both heartbeats again! And see how much they've grown in a week

[thechickencoop]

I'm still pregnant!

When is your appointment? Today!!

How far along are you/will you be? RE measured me at 5+6.

What will happen at your appointment? Ultrasound, HCG was over 18,000 today, and progesterone looked good.

I was sent away from the RE, first appt with OB is Tuesday. They'll just do bloodwork, a pap, check up. No ultrasound.

That's nuts. I remember with R my ob's office charged me my usual co payment for the 1st visit and never charged again. When I asked why they told me that they wanted to make sure pregnant women get the proper care and not worry about money. I'd def. call the insurance. $400 5x in a row seems like a lot.

[brittneysandra]

OB visit went great today , Baby measuring 8w5d even tho I'm only 8w3d, heartbeat 180 and it even moved during the ultrasound!! . I couldn't be more excited and relieved and can't wait to share the news with my mom finally and a few other family members !!

[thechickencoop]

Oh! I forgot, the RE updated my EDD to 10/21. ::shrug:: I'm still keeping the 17th for now though.

Yes, this is great news!!

[starmile]

I just had an ultrasound with my RE. I'm 7w4d and both heartbeats are good but one baby hasn't grown much. They are measuring 6w5d with 174hr and 7w2d with 153hr. Last week they were measuring 6w2d and 6w4d. 😕

I'm concerned that one baby only grew 3 days worth in a week. But the hr is very good so I'm confused. I saw the MA, not my RE, and she pretty much said don't worry too much yet. Which is not very helpful.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

OMG reading all these makes this feel like real life. I have an u/s tomorrow to check all the basics and get an EDD.

starmile do you have another appt soon to recheck growth?

[bubblefan]

Just scheduled my NT scan. A month from tomorrow. Wut.

[juniper]

No appointment today, but I got my third beta results and they were good! Over 7000 at 23dpo (18dp5dt)! They are still doubling nicely. The best news is no more bloodwork so I can let these tired veins rest. Ultrasound scheduled with my RE for March 9, which will be 7weeks 2 days.
