I've had some cramping. I'm sure it's just my ute stretching and growing but anytime I feel any cramps or twinges my anxiety goes sky high. I'm debating getting the Doppler out this week to give it another shot. No appointments until the end of April

starmile probably just lots of growing going on there! Let us know if the Doppler works, I'm curious.
I am still not 100% after the GI bug and they have me on antibiotics for an alleged UTI and those are doing nothing for my nausea either.
On top of that the ER doctor asked if I had GD and I see why when I looked at my glucose levels they were a little high and I basically had been fasting and puking so they shouldn't have been unless the dehydration was causing it? So now I'm slightly freaking about GD. I emailed the midwife to ask to do my GTT earlier. I'm fucked if I have GD because I don't have time to grocery shop and cook with both of us working full time and DS in preschool. It's take-out city at our household. Ain't nobody got time for special diets.
So yeah pity party for one over here. And this is only week 10. How the fuck am I going to survive the next 27 weeks.
I'm here, just ever so patiently waiting for my OB to call with the results of my fetal DNA testing. On one hand I'm so excited to find out the sex and think about announcing, and on the other hand I'm so afraid that something will come back negatively.
my anxiety goes sky high when I think about having to make the hard choices. I can't even think about having to possibly terminate that beautiful HB
No upcoming appointments, doc doesn't want to see me until the end of April. Thankfully, I've had a 100% success rate with my fetal doppler so that will help until then.
bootsorhearts nooo about possible GD! I hope it's nothing to worry about.

NariaDreaming, Thanks for the check in! starmile, Stretching vibes your way! bootsorhearts, I had GD with R and will most likely have it again. We can be friends if our test are positive. Support systems work!
Today I am physically okay, I have my 1st OB appt tomorrow at 3 so naturally a little stressed about that. I am just hoping and praying all is well in there. 9w2d and counting down until cerclage time.

XP from randoms: Baby's heartbeat was seen! It's been a long morning though. Doctor couldn't find it, they sent me over to the hospital for an ultrasound. Cue massive panic. Ultrasound tech found it right away though and I got to see baby (and it's little flickering hearbeat).
I honestly don't think the doctor was looking low enough. He seemed way to close to my midregion and I remember with dd how low they had to go those first few times to hear it. He was also super rushed this morning since he was so far behind. My brain was doing a whole lot of crazy PGAL thoughts this morning and I'm still a bit stressed right now but I saw baby and saw the heartbeat and today I am pregnant.

bootsorhearts, I feel you on the GD. The blood test I took last week indicated that my glucose levels are elevated so they're sending me for a 2 hour glucose test. Last pregnancy I had to take the 3 hour and I failed the first hour but past the last two. I have a bad feeling I'm going to fail...

I'm so sorry for all of the anxiety flying around in here this weekind!
But you can add me to the list as well; still spotting, it had subsided yesterday but is back today. I have an OB appt tomorrow after to check on it so I'm just over here on the struggle bus for 24 more hours.

My OB intake was a shitshow and I'm doctor shopping. Ended up at the fertility clinic because my OB office refused to doppler or ultrasound me. I don't feel like rehashing it right now. There's a thread on parenting about it.

NariaDreaming,that sucks. I hope you find a practice you are comfortable with.
I got the results of the blood work that went with the NT scan, everything was within the normal range. Now I'm just waiting for the MaterniT21 results- they are more accurate than my lab.
I'm feeling a little less anxious, for now. I have another appointment next week, so I think that helps.

NariaDreaming glad everything is ok! Did that OB even explain their rationale? Usually they'd give you options and their opinion but not flat out not do something. I can't see what the downside to at least trying the Doppler would have been.
I had my first appointment with my OB today and thankfully it went well. I had an ultrasound and baby was measuring two days ahead and had a strong heartbeat. Then I met with the nurse and then my OB. They were all very reassuring and helped to settle my nerves for now. I straight up asked for a pep-talk and they delivered. No more appointments until May 1st which seems crazy and no more ultrasounds until 18 weeks. Hopefully I can keep my anxiety at bay until then.

bootsorhearts, I hear ya on the special diet issue! Hoping all is well and it's something wacky with you not feeling well to begin with. I cannot for the life of me go on any type of diet and that's purely me not able to have any self control really.
Post by duskymonkey on Mar 28, 2017 0:08:54 GMT -5
thechickencoop, hoping everything will be alright tomorrow! sending you all the positive vibes and the damn spotting needs to go away! Damn spotting go away for everyone here!

NariaDreaming, the OB sounds like they need some bedside manners training. Definitely, would look for a new one that is supportive of your needs. That should be their priority. Really the entire staff should have/share the same approach to patient care and isn't your mental state as much apart as your health and well being? Any recos from your RE? My OB left for another practice recently and whilst I had great care from her previous staff, I followed her and hope that her new staff is as great as her old one since the initial point of contact will be your nurse first for any matters.
Hope everyone is feeling better and looks like we have some good testing news which is great to see!
@nariadreaming - I would be doc shopping as well - I'm sorry
I have my first ultrasound on thursday morning and I'm freaking out. I should be somewhere in my 9th week and all I can think about is baby not having a heartbeat. I hate that they made me wait this long to just see if there is a heartbeat but I know some people have to wait even longer. I'm trying to convince myself that whatever happens is going to happen regardless so I need to stop worrying about it but you all know how that works...

kinipela7, it's really hard waiting and not knowing what's going on in there. I wish we had little clear windows so we could peek in! My mantra is: I'm pregnant until someone tells me I'm not.

Hang in there mama. I have everything crossed that you have a healthy 9 week bundle of cells in there.
