Welcome ptr! I was so excited about posting my bump I missed your post!

 

[ptr]

Welcome ptr!

Just back from my 30 week midwife appointment and everything is great. Blood pressure is still slightly elevated but no concern there. Belly is consistently measuring 2 weeks ahead so she said she thinks he's probably just a little bigger than average. Heartbeat was great and I got the tDap vaccination as my mother in law is just getting over pertussis.

Dan-o my next appt is May 5th and it's just a regular checkup.

I feel like with the every two week appts time is going to fly now.

Oh baby girl maui is amazing! Went i went we stayed on maui for 2 weeks! Lahaina was fun, lots of shopping. And definitely recommend the aquarium thats near the airport. Oh and some snorkeling at molokini crater if you can manage a boat ride being preggers. The road to Hana was a must see! They have a black sand and a red sand beach. Its so awesome! Have fun!

Welcome ptr! All you teams yellows are impressive to me, i couldnt handle waiting 19 weeks to find out, let alone 40! Lol

Oh awesome! We are staying at the Royal Lahaina Resort !
We definitely want to snorkel. Do you think I can snorkel at 30 weeks?
We are super excited! It kind of sucks being pregnant and going but really I don't care! I just want to go!

Welcome PTR

 

[ptr]

i think you can definitely snorkel, i don't see why you wouldn't be able to!

cdex, lucky you, i haven't started my biweekly appts yet... i think my next appt is april 30th, tha'ts my glucose test (1 hour) and i think afterwards is when i start biweekly. I remember it feeling even more real when i started the biweekly appts, like ahhhhh this means i am closer than ever!

 

[CertifiedOreo]

I just had my glucose test (one hour) and should get results tomorrow&#8230;.Then I had a regular check up and now I am on to appts. every two weeks! Yes, its flying by and I still have so much to do I need to get organized!!

 

[Jrepp]

My 25-26 week bump. It didn't change much at all from last week and I only gained about 1/2 a pound.

 

[Livvy]

Welcome PTR! my nurse practitioner told me is start biweekly appointments this week too, but when I saw my doctor last week he said he is gonna wait another month before he starts those because he considers me really low risk. Kinda bummed, but it's good too I guess.

 

[babyvaughan]

I've been on bi weekly starting 24 wks but I believe its due to my complicated health history!

 

[Tasha]

More regular appointments do make it quicker. I've been on biweekly since 20 weeks and weekly since 24 weeks. I go to see my gp every other week atm but since my anxiety is high in going to ask for weekly ctg monitoring the weeks I don't get scanned now.

I've got my two hour GTT today, an appointment about research for baby this afternoon, scan and doctor.

 

[k4th]

Good luck with your back to back appointments tasha - hope they all go well

I'm currently waiting at the consultants office for an updated mdt plan & they are being really rubbish at pulling themselves together. I think I'm going to call my specialist after this appointment & go & see someone who actually knows what they're talking about!

Hope everyone else is doing well - haven't read back properly but hi to the new ladies

 

[Tasha]

Thanks k4th.

Did they sort it?

I've not even had my first blood test yet, this is pretty silly as its getting later and later before I can eat.

 

[dan-o]

:wave: hey ladies, I'm joining SUPER late.. i'm due july 23 and team yellow for the third time Looking forward to getting to know some of you guys and especially excited there are quite a good handful of team yellowers in here too!

Welcome Hun!!!! X

 

[dan-o]

I haven't got any apps between 24w and 32w!! Seems aaaages! Mind you I'm super busy with other stuff so 32w will be here before I know it.
I do have one midwife appt in May but they are always a complete waste of time lol!

 

[Zephram]

I haven't really been posting in this group, but I need to talk to someone.

I saw my midwife last week and she sent me for a scan as my fundal height was measuring small. Had the scan today and got told my amniotic fluid is low and my baby's abdominal circumference is measuring behind. He is also lying transverse which is contributing to the small fundal height (not a problem in itself unless he doesn't turn head down by the time I go into labour).

Does anyone have experience/knowledge? I don't really know what to think, but I am very worried. I haven't talked to my midwife yet, I'm hoping she gets the radiologist report by tomorrow so we can talk about it.

 

[k4th]

Tasha - hope they've done your first bloods by now!! I did my gtt on Monday (don't know the results yet) & had to wait until 11am to eat - felt so faint by then. Really hope they don't keep you waiting!! My mdt plan was sh*t. Only one person had contributed & her proposals were ridiculous. Not worth the paper it was written on! I'm waiting from a call back from my haematologist now I really shouldn't have to sort this out myself

Dan-o - I love seeing the midwives. They talk much more sense than my consultants. They don't contribute much, but it gets me out of work early

Zephram - sorry hun I haveno experience of this. I hope you can get some answers soon

 

[Tasha]

Dano seems crazy to me to have that gap.

Zephram I've had experience of this in my last three pregnancies that made it out of first tri! Did they say what the measurements for waters were and the abdomen? Did they check blood flow in the placenta? If you've any questions then ask away. The most important thing is that it's diagnosed So that you and baby can be monitored closely now.

Urgh, that's not acceptable k4th. I find a strongly worded email to all my care providers with pals cc'ed in helps.

I'll be allowed to eat at 12.45 ish xx
