[virginiaorjohn]

Day of Appointment: today!! Srsly could not wait another day if I had to

Weeks+days at appointment: 10+3

Will you have an ultrasound? Yes, then I have to wait an hour to see the Nurse Practitioner. Might get lunch in the cafeteria, no shame

Heading in, what are you thinking? I am a little terrified since I haven't seen the squish in almost 3 weeks. I really really hope he/she is still in there :/ this is also my first OB appointment since graduating the RE and I hope I like my OB's nurse/office (I only deal with them once a year so I feel like I don't really know them yet...)

*Update Us! Let us know how it went!

Friday July 24

I'll be 12 weeks 2 days

It's the nt scan so yes to the ultrasound

Before any appointment I'm also scared that their wont be a heartbeat or something so I'm always nervous. I've seen/heard a heartbeat twice and I have no reason to think anything is wrong but I'm just a worrier.

Day of Appointment: Wed 7/22

Weeks+days at appointment: 10w4d

Will you have an ultrasound? Yes

Heading in, what are you thinking? It's been 3 weeks and I just want to see little nugget doing well. The boobs and midnight pee runs tell me all is okay, but pgal brain and a complete lack of ms dampers the positive thinking.

[kellybenelly83]

Day of Appointment: Friday the 24th

Weeks+days at appointment: 11 weeks exactly

Will you have an ultrasound? YES!!!!

Heading in, what are you thinking? I'm so stressed, its the first time I'll be with the OB but my scan right before is worrying me, I'm so nervous Blob will have stopped growing, I know I have no reason to think this, but its very hard. This week will be tough to get through.

Day of Appointment: Thursday

Weeks+days at appointment: 12+1

Will you have an ultrasound? No, hoping for Doppler, anxious to know everything is okay

Heading in, what are you thinking? This apt better not get pushed back again, I requested the NT and I'll be sent to a separate place to have it done, but I only have until 13+3 for that

Otherwise this apt is just for history

*Update Us! Let us know how it went!

Day of Appointment: Friday

Weeks+days at appointment: 12 weeks

Will you have an ultrasound? Nope.

Heading in, what are you thinking? Hearing a heartbeat on a doppler if possible would be nice. Or at least having my midwife say, "Yup. You seem pregnant." I've been queasy and exhausted for weeks and am starting to show a bit, but it's sure hard not to freak out, isn't it?

Day of appointment: Friday
Weeks + days at appointment: 11w4D
Ultrasound? Nope
Headed in, what are you thinking? Well I'm excited to be back at my old OB, I might even take my little man with me as they don't mind the little ones at easy check up appointments. I'm hoping to hear the HB with the Doppler as I'm thinking that's what we did last time. Just hoping everything goes smoothly and I don't get any surprises

[lemoncupcake]

Lots of good thoughts headed out to everyone with appointments this week!

[lotsacake]

Day of Appointment: 7/21

Weeks+days at appointment: 8w1d

Will you have an ultrasound? Yes

Heading in, what are you thinking? PGAL brain is a horrible thing.... Just really hoping we hear a heartbeat and all will be well.

[lazyreader]

Day of Appointment: today!
Weeks+days at appointment: uh. 11w3d
Will you have an ultrasound? I don't think so. Just the Doppler from here on out. Plus the AS halfway.
Heading in, what are you thinking? My symptoms are much reduced and I am feeling normal more often than not. So I'm really just looking for some relief that baby is ok so far. Should be a quicky appt.

Day of Appointment: 7/23

Weeks+days at appointment: 11w4d

Will you have an ultrasound? Nope. This is my first appointment with my actual OB. I'm hoping she'll get out the doppler, though. I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought one to use at home. Yay eBay...

Heading in, what are you thinking? Just hoping to hear a heartbeat. PgAL has me nervous again.

[britterrss]

Day of Appointment: 7/21

Weeks+days at appointment: 9+4

Will you have an ultrasound? yes

Heading in, what are you thinking? I just want everything to still be there and be normal. I am going to ask about the genetic blood test and hopefully get that done in the next week or so.

[kate61487]

Counting the minutes until I can leave for my appt. Today 7/20 in a little less than an hour.

8+4

Not sure if we get an US today, it is the first appointment with the OB and I'm really not sure what to expect.

I'm of course hoping that everything is normal / on track. I'm also nervous because this is a new OB for me. With the recent job change my old place wasn't remotely convenient any more. It's the same medical group I've been with, but new location, all new doctors, etc.

Quoting myself.
Surprise US because my dr missed me last appt. so extra photos for me (and you)!
The leg is actually pointing to a kneecap. And the hand/fingers are right by the head/face. HB was 167

[kelle017]

lazyreader so cute! And I love that it resembles a baby and not a blob!

[hham10]

It was today. 8w3d

I did have an ultrasound.

I already had it and of course was nervous but it was our 2nd and everything looked great. Great heart rate at 183bpm!

Day of Appointment: Thursday

Weeks+days at appointment: 12+2

Will you have an ultrasound? Yes! NT scan and Harmony test.

Heading in, what are you thinking? PgAL brain full force. Telling myself that the nausea, exhaustion, and growing belly must mean something is going right in there.

*Update Us! Let us know how it went!

[rivers and roads]

Day of Appointment: It was this afternoon

Weeks+days at appointment: 10w, 1 day

Will you have an ultrasound? . It's another dating ultrasound because it was measuring behind based on date of LMP (even though I TOLD them it was measuring on track with my O date, they didn't believe me) to that, I say Oh well! Another ultrasound! They also took all of my bloodwork.

Heading in, what are you thinking? Nervous, but it was also my first day of work at my new school, so the day went by quickly.

*Update Us! Let us know how it went! Went well! 169bpm, measuring on track,. The tech switched it on to 3d or 4d (I don't know the difference?) "for fun". The last time I saw this tech, I was crying in her office over possible PCOS, so I think she was just being nice to me, but it was still neat and crazy to see!

quoting myself for update:

Appointment went pretty well.  At first glance I like the new OB.  He was very thorough with the information he gave us - ran through the basics on diet, exercise, travel, overall timeline of check-ups, etc.  We did get an ultrasound but it was SUPER quick.  I think since the RE had already established due date, heart rates, etc. as recently as last week he basically just took a quick measurement, verified that both hearts were beating (but didn't measure or anything) and he was done.  

But here's our two little raspberries.  the baby on the right is in profile and baby on the left is head-on

Quoted for update...

We didn't get to hear the heartbeat but SAW it! Everything looked good. Because I didn't have a period after our miscarriage (and before our BFP) we weren't sure of an actual date. I thought I was 8w1d today based on start of the miscarriage, and the scan dated it at 7w6d, so thats pretty close.

Since our date has changed that pushes me from 2/29 to 3/2 but I'm sticking around here since I know I'm having a RCS at 39w, or possibly earlier (my son was born at 36w).

PGAL thoughts have been pushed down a bit but I'm cautiously excited now. =)

Day of Appointment: today (21st)

Weeks+days at appointment: 11 weeks 1 day

Will you have an ultrasound? Nope

Heading in, what are you thinking? Nervous. We are listing to heartbeat today and we never got to this point last time. This was the appt where we knew something was wrong last time.

*Update Us! Let us know how it went!

Went amazing. Love my midwife more everytime we meet. Heard a nice fast! Heartbeat. And she could feel the top of my uterus. So much relief. I will sleep well tonight!

It went super well!!! NT scan was perfect and we did the Harmony test. I'll get the results from the test next week. The baby looked like a baby this time and was moving around and flipping over constantly.

Heard the HB 151 bpm, my midwife even asked if I wanted to record it and found it again so I could. I also got the req for the NT scan so I can call and schedule that for next week
