When is your appointment? Actually it was this past Monday - just didn't have time to type an update
How far along are you/will you be? I was 12+1
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) NIPT, NT Scan and I wasn't aware my OB had referred me to a MFM, I thought it was because her new office didn't have the sophisticated machine or a tech that was skilled to do NT scans.
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) I was annoyed when I got there that I had to check in at the ER kiosk after walking all the way around looking for woman's imaging with a full bladder. AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Other than almost peeing my pants and in pain from a super full bladder - waited 45 mins before I was called - hate big hospitals I cried ugly tears again when the tech found the wiggling babe. Luckily my ute is way above my pelvic bone so the tech did a quick look and I was able to relieve myself before she continued on.
What did you expect? I had no expectations...from PAIF brain. I just didn't want to have any.
What did you learn? That my fibroids seems to have grown quite a bit since 2- 3 wks ago. The MFM was also quite worried about them but seemed pleased when we discussed my previous pregnancy which was zero issues despite the presence of the same fibroids. I will need to have frequent checks on growth for both babe and companion fibroids starting every 4 wks first then as needed.
New feels? I am currently anxiously waiting on NIPT results which should be sometime next week. I am beginning to feel more worried as the pregnancy progresses with the damn fibroids. I am praying and hoping it will be just like with DS with no or hardly any issues especially for babe and also for myself.
Next appointment/follow up: Well I already had a routine follow up with my OB this coming Monday and we will discuss hopefully my NIPT results if they are done and how to proceed with the MFM involved since she mentioned that she was hoping to only send me there this one time. It could sound like between the 2 I would be shuttling between them like every 2 wks. Exhausted just thinking about it. Luckily my work hours are flexible although I don't get paid if I don't work so that sucks!
