I think it’s a good idea now that we have so many here it will make it easier to stay caught up.

I got to meet my doctor today! He seems nice. After the appt, when I was leaving, he chased me down in the hall to make sure I knew I could have sex with my husband 😂. Thanks, doc.

Had our last appointment with the RE this morning. The bean is measuring exactly at 8w1d with hb in the 160’s. We got to hear it this time and that will never get old ❤️.
We’ve now graduated from the RE and have our intake with my OB next Tuesday.
My SCH has split in to 2 smaller ones and they are not near the baby.

Had my NT scan yesterday, and everything looked good. I know it's technically early, but the sonographer thought baby looked distinctly male and I definitely agree so I think we're looking at brothers over here! When exactly is second trimester? I'm 12 weeks +1 today.

Well actually *everything* doesn't look good, I was slightly low on a particular protein than correlates with low birth weight, pre eclampsia, and fetal demise, but I'm barely low and haven't talked to my doctor yet so I'm keeping cool about it for now.

We had my NT scan yesterday as well, and all looked fine! Baby was a wiggle machine and it was making me laugh, which made it hard on the poor technician to get the necessary pictures! I'm 12w today (measured at 12w1d at the scan).

This post was a rollercoaster for me. You had me excited at low birth weight (my son was ten lbs and I'm all about smaller baby this time) but then the rest is terrible sounding. Im sure you're fine, though. I'm surprised they would tell you without your OB! Have they never met pregnant women?! We like info!

I’ll play!
I haven’t been super active because quite honestly I have no clue when I am due. Based on LP I am due mid November but I/s said it was late November. Each did say at that point it was +/- 2 weeks. That said I have my first appointment tomorrow, Monday. Hopefully the dr will want another u/s. It’s important to know where I am because starting at 16 weeks I will need to start progesterone shots because DD was a premie.

I had my nt scan last week. I don't see the doctor about the results until May 9th or if something comes up, they will get me in sooner. I have been so sick with a bad cold anf laryngitis. Its been so rough. Heres my babe! Also i always get confused with trimesters. I find sometimes its not consistent when you google it. I always use this chart.

Had my first appt today and we saw a gestational sac and a yoke sac and dr is happy with that since I am 5w5d today. Only one in there so I am relieved about that. They did see a hematoma so I am waiting on blood work and then will get the rhogham shot since I am Rh negative. Haven’t had any bleeding yet from the hematoma but she said that it’s possible that I could.
Next appointment is Friday May 18th. Feels so far away. If all looks good there I’ll graduate from the RE.
I need to start looking and probably schedule out an US with a high risk OB because of my previous placental abruption and also my c-section scar which has a very thin layer left (they are afraid of rupture).
TLDR: Past one source of stress and on to the next 10.

Had our intake appointment with the OB today. Baby looked awesome and HB was up in the 170's. I'm going to be a RCS so we talked dates for that. I have to do the 1hr glucose test at 12w due to GD last time, booooooo. Next appointment is a 12w check up, no NT Scan or Genetic bloodwork since baby is a genetically tested embryo. I also get to start the weaning process for all my meds tomorrow, woot!

I have a total of six PIO shots to go... not that I've been counting or anything, lol. I told H we're getting something to celebrate the last one.

PIO and estradiol pills are the last to end for me on 5/20.

I had my weekly ultrasound and official intake. Baby looked good. HB of 168. My SCH got a bit bigger so I’m supposed to reduce my activity and lifting more. Not sure how that will happen, but we did just hire a cleaning company so that should help. 1.5 weeks until I can get my panorama screening and then I should be past my last loss milestone by the time the results come in!

I had my nurse apt and first ob appointment yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised by the new dr to the practice. My office has 4 Drs and they make you get to know all of them so you know and are hopefully comfortable when you deliver. I had a full work up done and need to decide what testing we want done. We didn’t do any with DD but they were a little more insistent this time. I have research to do I guess. They have officially dated me at 10wks yesterday. My next apt isn’t until June unless we do testing... so much to think about. Sorry for the rambling.

My appt today went great - I'm around 12+1 and we couldn't find hb on doppler so we got to do another u/s. Baby is measuring spot on and looks huge and was so wiggly, hb 163. Our genetics test came back and baby is low risk for everything and we're having a boy! Congrats! What genetics test did you do?

Congrats! What genetics test did you do? Panorama -- I wasn't given options or anythign and I didn't ask ahead of time. I think the NIPTs are basically all the same nowadays. Gotcha. I’m not sure if mine will determine baby’s sex, so I was just curious. Google gave me mixed results. I’ll find out when I go in to talk to the genetics counselor next week (and I haven’t had the blood draw yet). Mine will be Verifi.

I had my 2nd midwife appt yesterday, it was wonderful. I am really really happy with the choice of going with them. She went over my ultrasound results and I had a small SCH which explains the spotting I had earlier in this pregnancy. We also tried for the heartbeat and she made me promise to not freak out if we couldn't find it, but she did right away! So excited She also referred me to a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist. I mentioned that I was having pain between my legs if I have been on my feet for too long and she asked me a bunch of questions and turns out I checked all of the "pink flags" so she said do not wait, go now. So I'll add another appointment to my list of things to do, but I think it will be worth it to attempt this. I go for my next U/S May 15 and next midwife appt May 30
