Unexpected: Not too long now I see!! I don't miss the kicks and head bumps to my cervix. Sky knew just when to time them too. Holy OUCH!!
Left wondering: Yup, anything and everything can happen. Good to hear your child is growing and not shrinking. Don't want them having Alice in Wonderland moments. Hehe.
Mariah's Mom: It's so cute your husband is so excited!!
Tell him that he may want things to slow down once the baby comes so take the time he can to enjoy this time.
brunettebimbo: Congrats on the boy. So exciting. I think I am supposed to go in at 20 weeks for an ultrasound that should check on the baby and tell gender, but I might pay to get a private scan so I can find out early because I am so impatient.
AFM: I am doing okay. My due date has been changed from 3/3/2015 to 3/9/2015. I am seeing an MFM, a high risk doctor who is very nice. She let me know she was open to me having a VBAC and would give me a success rate percentage at the end. If I chose to do a C section, she said she does them usually around 38 weeks, which I am unsure about but we shall see how things develop over time.
I thought I was free from my old OB, who I couldn't' switch from fast enough. I left a review on ZocDoc, a website that allows you to rate appointments and doctors, and she sent me a message through the patient portal, telling all kinds of lies about what I said, what she offered to me, and what SHE did to try to rule out ectopic pregnancy. She didn't do a DAMN thing but stress me out. She told me there was "no point" in doing a confirmation ultrasound before taking meds or having a D&C, so yes, that means she suggested termination before being 100% certain there wasn't growth anywhere, whether that be in my uterus or elsewhere. She claimed that I refused an ultrasound after my HCG came back showing an increase, because I didn't want to pay, but that is not true. I didn't want to pay THEM for an ultrasound, but I relayed to the medical assistant I would shop around. I don't know how this translated into me not wanting the ultrasound. There would have been no need to pay if she had not already told the insurance company I was miscarrying, instead of waiting and seeing what the outcome would be from my blood draws at the very least. I was proactive, not her. I was worried about ectopic, not her. She wrote to me that she had sleepless nights and she was really worried about me. She didn't seem worried at my appointments. In fact, she was fairly certain I was miscarrying and didn't mention ectopic as a possibility. I was so mad yesterday reading her response to my review that I wrote an ESSAY back. I don't know if she will get to read it, but I am NOT going to change my review. She knows it makes her look bad and it SHOULD. If she was really concerned and wanted to be thorough, she would have taken the time to talk everything out with me and made it clear that she was on my side. If the issue with the confirmation wasn't enough, it took two calls to get her to change my blood pressure meds after I expressed concern about abnormally high blood pressure readings I kept getting. I let her know in an office appointment I felt switching to my medication at a higher dose, 3 times a day would be helpful in lowering my blood pressure, as this is what we had to do in my last pregnancy and I told her this seemed to help me quite a bit. She didn't take action when I sent a message through the patient portal, nor when I called about it after not getting a call back from my message sent through the portal. If this woman wants to lie to herself, fine. I just want her to not contact me again. EVER.
Anyway, my appointment at the MFM went well. Baby looks great and BP is high, but better than where it was. The baby was wriggling away on the ultrasound screen. The cuteness...I can't even
My DH and I were picked on at school too so I worry a lot.
Even though more time to prepare would be lovely lol. I currently have most of her things organized, but need more storage. Do you have your hospital bag packed? I need to repack mine.
