When is your appointment? This afternoon! Finally!
How far along are you/will you be? 18w
What kind of appointment is it? (OB, ultrasound, bloodwork, etc) Regular OB
Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) I felt baby a lot yesterday, including from the outside! So I'm not as nervous, but excited to hear the heartbeat again.

NariaDreaming, I've been the same all weekend. I haven't felt her move much, I guess she just relocated herself to somewhere I can't feel her. We heard her on the doppler so consciously I know she's fine. Stupid PGAL brain.
When is your appointment? 5/9 How far along are you/will you be? 19+2 What kind of appointment is it? Level 2 Ultrasound at MFM. This would be the AS if we didn't already know the sex from the genetic screening. Any feels? I'm starting to get pretty anxious. I'm feeling him move around most days, but I just want to know all his organs and such are developing normally.

Any feels? (vents, rants, worries) Just anxious to hear the heartbeat. I've been dizzy/lightheaded still and it increases during a workout. Hopefully it isn't anything to worry about and just my body adjusting.
My midwife said dizziness is completely normal. I have pretty low bp as it is and am used to having to get up slowly. It's increased during the pregnancy but they said to just really be conscious of height changes and to be sure I'm drinking a ton of fluids, especially during a workout.

Had a regular MFM appointment today, 16+5
How was it? Ok, spent a long time waiting!
What did you expect? The usual stuff.
What did you learn? My fundal height is where it should be. My uterus is already up above my bellybutton! Heart rate was 144 today. I guess she was sleeping?
New feels? I should feel reassured right? PGAL brain says no!
Next appointment/follow up: Anatomy scan May 31st.

Just another annoying thing 🙄
My doc said the same thing but it is also a symptom of my heart defect and my heart working too hard. Just want to make sure it isn't that and just pregnancy related
Ooooooh yea I didn't know you had a pre-existing issue. I would definitely check.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA):
How was it? Overall it was good.
What did you expect? Doppler and to chat
What did you learn? Baby is doing perfect and found the heartbeat right away. Due to lightheaded and dizziness continuing despite meds, I may have POTS syndrome. Going to up my salt intake (hello French fries!) to see if that helps and cardiologist will check for it at end of the month.
New feels? Just concerned about possibly adding another worry and diagnosis to my plate. If I don't get it under control could mean no more exercise and worst case is bedrest.
Next appointment/follow up: June 9th for A/S
i hope you feel better soon. And I really hope it isn't pots. I have a friend with it and she has struggled a lot getting a diagnosis and finding a plan to help her feel well enough. One thing she does is eats more organ meat and drinks bone broth.

AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT (AYA): What did you learn? Baby is doing excellent, measuring right on track, and everything is growing/developing as expected. I also learned that I have an anterior placenta, which explains why the movements I feel are super low and feel very 'soft' and inconsistent. New feels? Just super relieved that everything looked good. Next appointment/follow up: I have a regular OB appt next week.
I had my A/S this week. Baby looked good but they couldn't get one shot of the spine due to her position against the uterine wall, so we're going back for it in two weeks.
She also has an EIF (a tiny bright spot on her heart, most likely caused by calcification). I spiraled down the Google rabbit hole, but it seems harmless. Dr. said it shows up in about 5% of healthy pregnancies and does not affect the heart at all but it can be a soft marker for T21. She said with our blood results, the odds are something like 1: 10,000, even with the EIF, so I am trying to not freak myself out.
