This Week's Appointments Sept. 28-Oct. 2

This is our weekly appointment thread for the week of Sept. 28-Oct. 2. Please reply here and let us know any appointments you have this week. Don't forget to come back and update us on how the appointment went. Good luck at all appointments.

 

Well tomorrow is probably THE biggest appointment of the pregnancy for me. I have my final growth scan with MFM. They are going to be looking very closely at Baby A to see how he has done in the past two weeks; his growth, fluid levels and doppler results will determine whether they will move my c-section up to later this week rather than going to our scheduled date next Tuesday. I'm hoping he's healthy enough that they can stay put for another week but my doctor has told me that its highly unlikely. :unsure:

 

I have my 32 week appointment on Wednesday. Am really hoping that everything is still ok, and that my cervix hasn't shorten any more & Twin A has had his growth sprut to try and catch up to his sister. I have been feeling really really rough for the last few days, so am really hoping that's not a sign of things drastically changing. Wednesday can't come soon enough!

 

I have an ultrasound thrusday to check if the second twin is there! I'm excited and nervous!!

 

I have an appt with my MFM team on Thursday to go over the vast array of blood panels they ran last Thursday. We're still trying to rule out HELLP and other issues related to my elevated liver enzymes. I'm rather nervous about this appt - I really don't want to find out I have a problem that might endanger the kids.

 

Good luck ladies!!

 

I have my anatomy scan tomorrow, I will be 18 weeks. Hope all is well and will be talking to my doctor about close monitoring for TTTS and also the h1n1 stuff.

 

Got my next big u/s coming up on the 1st, they'll be doing an ffn + cervix check probably. I'm torn between excitement and dread.

 

I have a NST and an U/S thursday morning.

 

I was scheduled for my usual 1 out of 2 NST's yesterday....and took make my long day short on paper....I started contracting so they sent me to labor and delivery. I didnt stop contracting (but no cervical change thankfully) so they went ahead and admitted me for the steroid shot series. I received my first one around 1 am and am scheduled for another one around 1 am this evening as well. Then they'll monitor me for probably 24 more hours-so I'm looking at wednesday, probably a thursday release. the doctors are confident because the boys are both strong and healthy and weigh a little more for their gestational age. So that put me somewhat at ease. Obviously at 31 weeks, this is not the optimal time for them to come, so all we can do is hope and pray now! I was wondering if any of you ladies experienced this and know what I can expect?? I'll keep you updated as the day goes by.

 

I went to the doctor yesterday and had an NST. Both boys are doing great, and I am measuring 44 weeks! Everything looks good so far, except my swollen legs and feet. My doctor isn't concerned though because my blood pressure is good. We scheduled the C-Section for October 26th, which will make me 38 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Let's hope they stay in there that long!

 

I have a scan tomorrow at 8:30 am and suddenly sitting here are 9pm the night before I'm suddenly scared. I hate that I can't put the worry out of my mind just before my scans. :shok:
