[SIZE=12pt]Tuesday I have my growth ultrasound and weekly BPP; Wednesday my OB appointment.[/SIZE]

 

I am 35 weeks and 3 days on Monday with an appointment for a NST and check up. Last Monday the babies weighed 6lbs8oz and 5lbs3oz. I have had gestational diabetes but have controled it with diet. So far so good and feeling well. I am going to keep my bags in the car in case they say it is time to have the babes.

 

I have my NT scan on Tuesday. Nervous but excited to see the babies again!

 

I have a BPP on Wednesday morning. They'll also check the length of my cervix as it's only 1.5 cm, and has been at or under 2 cm for nine weeks, but it's hanging in there!

I'll be 33 weeks on Friday.

 

I have my Level II scan on Wednesday June 11th and then on June 12th i have my 20 wk OB appointment. I hope everything goes well

 

I have my 32 week OB appt, 1st NST(which I am anxious about), and an ultrasound on thursday. Does anyone know how long NSTs usually take?? Oh and also, I havent packed my bag yet- should I have that ready "just in case" for thursday? So far everything has been going smoothly so I havent put much pressure on myself to get it packed.

 

I have my 16 week u/s at my Peri's office and a check up with my OB on Wednesday the 11th. I can't wait! It's been four weeks since I've seen/heard the babies!

 

I have a regular OB check on Wednesday. When I went 2 weeks ago they ended up doing my glucose test and it came back normal. Yeah, I was so worried I would get GD. I'm so happy that I don't have to worry about that.

 

Regular OB appointment on Wednesday. I am feeling a lot of pressure though and trying to fight off a cold. Hubby is out of town until Friday, so I am trying to take it easy. Do not want anything to happen while he is away. Good luck on all of your appointments!

 

Good luck at all your appointments ladies, don't forget to come back and update us on how they went.

 

Saw my doctor today and had a BPP. Things are looking well. Babies are measuring 3# 13 oz. and 3# 14 oz. My cervix has gotten a little shorter and my doctor is thinking I may not go past 34 or 35 weeks on my own. I guess we'll see how things go. I'm now going in 2x's weekly for NST's.

 

Had my peri appointment today and everything looked great! Today is 25w and the babies were 1lb 10oz and 1 lb 12 oz, both head down, and kicking away. We got our first 3d pic of baby b, still not great, but fun to imagine. My cervix had actually lengthened to 3.7...who knows, but I was thrilled with all the good news!!!

 

Had my OB appointment today and got a look at the girls, Baby A is breach and Baby B is head down, but right now Baby B is farther down then A is. All looked good.

 

[SIZE=18pt]I wanted to wish you ladies lots of luck this week with all your appointments!!!

Went in for my OB appt. today- all is well, both babies with good strong heartbeats, fluid levels with MVP of 5, head down and as active as ever. My OB switched me to appts every 2 weeks now :lol: It is seeming like things are becoming more "real" now!!

I'll be 33 weeks on Friday.



The babies weigh 4 lb 2 oz and 4 lb 6 oz, so that was great. They scored an 8/8 on their BPP test. Baby A's umbilical cord was right on top of my cervix, in front of her, so that has me really worried. My Dr. says it will move the next time she moves, but that can be a real emergency if it comes out first. I had some protein in my urine and my BP was higher than normal, so I'm doing a 24 hr urine with another appointment Friday am. My cervix was 1.3 cm. So, I've got a few problems, but I've been having problems since 23 weeks, so I'm thrilled to be one day shy of 33 weeks!

 

I had my first dr appt last week with my new regular dr since I moved. Did a pap and it came back abnormal. I'm scared because that's what happened with my mom and she ended up with cervical cancer, luckily I'm adopted though. My doctor wants to look at my cervix under a microscope to see the extent of my "abnormality." he's on vacation for a week and a half so I have to wait until all that before I can find out what's going on.

Well tomorrow I have a ultrasound and I'm excited! I hope that my DH will get off work in time to make it!

All went well at my appointment. Still fighting cough from this cold. Doc prescribed some cough syrup. It also makes me sleepy so I am finally getting some sleep. My mom has the boys until Saturday and my hubby will be home tomorrow! So I am just trying to catch up on some much needed sleep today.

[SIZE=12pt]Tuesday I have my growth ultrasound and weekly BPP; Wednesday my OB appointment.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=12pt]All appointments went really well. Baby A was breech and weighed 3 lbs. 2 oz. and baby B is transverse and weighed in at 3 lbs. 5 oz. My cervix is looking great; my MFM doc said it looked great and that I should have no problem delivering at 37 weeks. My OB is just ecstatic at the Ultrasound results and seems so amazed that the babies are doing as well as they are. But I'm really hoping I can keep these l'il ones cooking another 7 weeks.[/SIZE]

:Clap: sounds like things are going good. I hope the cord moves, try not to worry about it too much Momma. Congrats on 33 weeks!!

Kimani, good luck with the cervix tests. I'm sorry you have to have this stress right now. Please let us know how things turn out. :hug99:

Leslie, you can do it Momma. You have all of us here pulling for you!! I'm glad things are looking so good.

 

I had an u/s today and met with the nurse. Everything is going fine. Babies are 6 lbs 9 oz and 6 lbs 4 oz. A is still head down and pretty far down, so I don't think she'll move. B is still breech; I'm still not excited about the whole internal version/breech extraction possibility but everybody at the doctor's office thinks it's no big deal so I'm sure I'll get through it if necessary. Or maybe Baby B will just be really nice to Mommy and turn head down once his sister gets out of the way.

 

I had a NST, u/s, and cervix check today (30 weeks). NST looked great. Baby B was "surprisingly reactive" and Baby A was right where they expected. Only one very small BH contraction in the entire hour long test. U/S was fabulous - 3 pounds and 3 pounds 1 ounce, both in the 58th percentile. Baby A is vertex, Baby B is transverse.

Cervix check not so good. Now down to 1.9 cm. I've been put on strict bedrest (as opposed to modified for the past 2 weeks), and told to start preparing for a potential hospital bedrest stay. Also told to make sure I have everything ready in case I go into labor. And, I lost a pound in the past week, so was asked to try to eat more.

Will now have weekly NST, u/s and cervix checks.

We're all hoping that Baby B listens to what Momma wants. :lol: Sounds like things are moving along smoothly. :good:

:Clap: Glad to hear the babes are doing well. I'm sorry to hear about the bedrest and your cervix going down. :hug99: You are a strong woman and can do this. :hug99:

 

Well I had my second ultrasound yesterday and got some interesting news. It looks like they are both boys and that they are sharing a placenta so there's a chance that they are identical. Not for certain on the sex until next months ultrasound so I'm still hoping for at least one girl...we have beautiful names picked out for girls, but we'll see. It was really nice though because my fiancee got to be there and the look on his face when watching the babies was so cute. My sons father never made any of my appoinments so I feel blessed to share this experience with someone.
