sorry to read the sad news sporty. hope you and your family are able to heal and glad you were able to cuddle with baby.
sorry I haven't been on in a while. I really appreciate the private messages and concern! that was so sweet Everything is perfect with me and baby, just had a super busy time from last Monday at gender/anatomy scan until today. I'll try to make it short....
16th - gender scan in the morning, the tech sucked and ruined the exciting experience. just as an example, when I asked if she was able to tell us what it is or if a doctor had to she replied "what do you mean what it is?" super snarky. I looked at my hubby and he had this dumbfounded look on his face, then I said, "uh, if its a boy or a girl?" shes like "well I don't know we'll see what it does if it shows me anything" then says "i wont be talking because I have a lot to do and not much time to do it." Basically I was scheduled for an anatomy scan, placental location, gender and fetal echo. I had originally scheduled just the anatomy and when I found out I needed the other testing I called back (3 weeks prior to my appt) and they moved my appt earlier an hour bc there was so much to do. well apparently they moved my appt back an hour but never added extra time so she was pissed. sorry not my problem your staff screwed up. my appt should have taken 2 hours and she was done in 1. also she lied stating she couldn't do the full anatomy measurements since I had them at 14 weeks and they couldn't bill another. um, I am high risk and am supposed to get growth scans monthly, so that's a load of crap, but she was so rude I didn't want to argue or be there any longer.
On the up side everything looked great and after she left for the dr to review she came back and said he didn't even need to come in. I do still have partial placenta previa, which they said I have to be rechecked at 28 weeks. got a call from my ob a few days late saying I have to be on pelvic rest. my poor hubby!!! also at 14 weeks baby was the 19th percentile for size, and last week 30th percentile! still a peanut but im happy.
Left the scan and had to go buy the correct color stuff for our gender reveal we did that night. super fun. then hubby worked the next day and I had to pack and get ready for our babymoon!!! left wednesday the 18th -spent an amazing week at an all inclusive resort in cancun and just got back yesterday ...hence my lack of updating!
DH was able to feel kicks almost every day we were gone and felt 5 solid kicks all within 1 minute last night! Today I saw a few kicks from the outside!!!!
I guess I didn't keep it a very short update. lol
oh aaaaand....its a GIRL!
My appointment was going great they scheduled me for my anatomy scan next week, and my referall out to a special clinic since I have had so many surgeries etc. Next we went to room to hear HB on Doppler, it was loud like usual and I was happy but her face showed concern. She asked me if I heard the extra beat and I said yes isn't that an echo off the placenta? She said let me get a 2nd nurse to listen so she did and the second nurse said yes he has an irregular HB I felt so sad instantly,they explained I will going to get a ehco cardiogram at children's heart doctor and make sure its nothing very serious. I left and cried my eyes out for good 10 minutes then k thought its my job to keep faith and stay strong for him and I feel much calmer now. Still worried but my faith is in God! I have bunch of appointments over next two weeks so I'm hoping I can get clarity and relief through those!
I just set up the cardiogram for March 4th relieved i can get clarity so quickly. I went baby shopping to take my mind off it. 5th is my anatomy scan, 9th OB, and im still waiting on the high risk clinic appt. I'm so glad I switched clinics the previous doctor would have missed all of this!
Rach-Congrats on the girl! Welcome back!
Babyv-So sorry to hear about the concern over baby's heart. I hope all turns out well.
Jrepp-Are you at the ER? I hope everything turns out alright.
AFM, everything went great today at the anatomy scan. She is still a she so that's good, lol. There was one heart measure they couldn't get because of positioning, but that's it. They will get it next time. No anomalies or growth issues or anything so that's a huge plus. Also, unrelated to the scan, I got a body pillow so I hope that helps with my sleep problems.
dan-o, my next appt. is March 26th. Will be getting that heart measurement and doing the dreaded GD test. I picked the orange drink. I hope I don't hurl, lol.
20 weeks baby lady bump.
I popped out like crazy this past week, along with finally getting to feel kicks! Hit my 20 weeks today!
