2014 May Rainbows

I got the flu shot. I usually get a sore arm and some icky feeling for a day, but this year nothing. So I guess it might not be too bad a dose this year.
I usually do get it every year, but this year I was especially keen because it's been shown that any kind of fever during pregnancy, no matter the cause, has adverse outcomes for the baby/child.

I'm pretty sure I only had to wait an hour after my drink. There's no way I could hold it in for 3 hours afterwards! I had a glucose test over the summer and I just had to wait an hour again. I didn't even have to fast beforehand.
I forgot to get the flu shot this year. I guess I could still get one. Hearing about the resurgence of h1n1 has me spooked. I caught the flu while pregnant with DS and that really was the sickest I had ever been. I needed Tylenol to keep my fever at 100 otherwise it would have been 102 or even higher. The worst part though was not being able to breathe properly. I was in first tri when it happened and I was so scared my fever would hurt him.

I know they draw blood here too but something about peeing can affect the amount in your body. Not sure..
Appointment went well this morning. Hb was 130. Lowest ever. Ob says its fine and all is well. Scan results show no abnormalities
. Glad to hear no cleft lip as DH was born with a cleft lip/ pallet. And its hereditary. Up 2 lbs since last appointment. No comment yet regarding weight.

Sunny as baby gets bigger the heart rate usually slows some. As long as it stays in the normal ranges and you don't have an immediate drastic drop (like during labor) all is good That worried me with Logan too!
That worried me with Logan too!
He's going nuts. Think we had a growth spurt because I've feeling so much more today.

That's exciting Darlin!! I has a day last week like that. All of a sudden constant movement. Figured a growth spurt. Baby's been quiet today but I've also been super achy down below my belly so figure another spurt . Lots of random movement during the night though. Actually kept me awake
I was surprised when the ob measured my uterus today from below (where I expected) to about 3 inches above my bellybutton. Crazy.

My baby is quiet today after a busy day yesterday. It mostly dances in there rather than full-on kicks. I felt a few tickles 3 inches or so above my belly button this morning. Last night it was using my cervix as a trampoline. Little One gets around!
I've pretty much moved into the somersault and gymnastics phase too--lots of movement all the time! It's sweet, but also sometimes tiring and distracting, especially when I'm working or I just want to rest.
This painless phase won't last long for me, as I'm petite, so my babies quickly run out of a lot of room to move. Doesn't mean they don't, of course, it just means by about 30 weeks, I'll start getting the painful jabs in the ribs and the highly visible movement...along with the heartburn I'm sure. Blech.
V-day today for me, by the way! Finding it hard to believe. There were plenty of times I didn't think I'd make it this far.

Congratulations MonyMony on V day!!!! How exciting . I still have a few weeks to go
As for being petit I'm 5'3" and wondered if that would affect baby's ability to move.... Currently getting lots of 'rolling' motions and the odd poke

Congrats sweetV!!! Bummer about the placenta blocking the movement 
Last night when I went to bed our little guy went nuts!!! Almost knocked my hand off my belly at one point!! Of course by the time DH came up he had pretty much stopped. Then DH left again and continued!!! This little guy is really making DH work for it lol

ha ha! What a stinker! How do these babies keep on doing that? They all really seem to know how to annoy their daddies.
SweetV and MonyMOny - congrats on reaching V-day!!!
afm - halfway there!!!

I'm so jealous! I get the occasional roll but nothing that DH can feel. Mostly when I'm sitting. Not loving the anterior placenta.
V day here too.
Congrats!
FX that even with anterior placenta you'll feel more movement as baby gets bigger and longer!

Im a little annoyed. I just got my anatomy scan report in the mail, My MFM office seem to have pretty nasty attitudes believe me I can get nasty right back but I am trying to deal with this the best way I can.
In my report it states what my normal obgyn should do with my care. He hasn't done anything the MFM dr has said to do like my antibody screening each month. I seen it says to stop Progesterone. I am wondering why no one brought this to my attention. If they think it will harm baby or isn't doing anything good for my baby then tell me don't have my dr tell me why you are the one requesting it. I am willing to listen to everyone and be okay with stopping it but why not talk to ME about it at my appt when I was there. That just bugs me. I know the genetic counselor said the taking progesterone can alter a baby boys penis, basically she said the hole can be in the wrong spot which then my baby would need operation to fix it if it happens. I have never heard of this but she never said hey I'm going to suggest to the MFM dr to request you to stop. Also I noticed they aren't forth coming with all info. I saw on my ultrasound that day that I was measuring ahead which is no big deal, the tech said oh my your measuring ahead by a good distances but then left when I asked how far. I was taking pics the whole time with my Ipod before my charger broke. I asked the dr when he came in and he said your right on track um really I know I have always measured ahead so why not tell me. I seen on my report is has my current due date may 20th but they are sticking with my lmp due date which is may 28th.
Prior to getting my report I was very upset with my OB I ripped them a new one and told them I would be collecting copies of my chart and going else where. Why bc I don't feel I can depend on him. Honestly I wont have him deliver my baby or give birth at his hospital bc that is where i had 2 of my losses at I have been on the maternity floor twice with no baby but ppl kept coming in my room asking where is your baby. so from day one I knew I wouldn't be delivering where he thinks I will, I was only seeing him bc he was the closest one to me.
What really sent me off his office called on last Thursday to cancel my appt for Monday bc he had an emergency came up. I understand emergencies happen but this was the 3rd time he has done this to me with in 19 weeks of my pregnancy I have called his office several times about issues 3 times were bleeding and pain related he ha was never in the office to call me back. I know he isnt always going to be available but really he is never available. I know he has 2 different locations and goes to 4 hospitals. One doesn't deal with pregnant women they dont have delivery rooms or maternity ward one doesn't take my insurance one is his main hospital he is at and the other one is where my MFM dr is. I think he is spread too thin and cant keep up with all his patients. I have to remind him I need blood work I want the NT scan during 1st tri I need to be set up for this and that he is never on track with me and it bugs me. Sorry I seem to venting here.
Anyway I called MFM office to clear up some things on my report she said they are specialist and they know what is best. Okay i get that but why didn't a dr speak to me about it instead they are telling my dr what to do with me. I am very involved in my care I want to know it all and I will be the one to call the final shots or I will go else where. She said they don't need to speak to me drs speak among drs and they decide things um really I don't want care like that I want to be involved in my care.
so after venting on here my question is, is taking oral progesterone a issue is it harmful? I am sorry I find it odd that this baby has stuck while I was on it. I had 3 losses well 4 including my twin that is still in me for no reason and after 3 baby boys so I want to be informed in the decisions with ME.
