Dr's Appointments
Friday, October 31st, 2008 ~ Dating Ultrasound ~ RESULTS: Strong heartbeat, and estimated due date at June 22nd.
November 14th & 15th ~ Trip to ER due to bleeding ~ everything ok, baby's heart rate at 174bpm and seen our baby wiggle on it's own (giving it the nickname of Wiggles).
November 17th ~ First OB Appt ~ everything looks good, got lots of info...pretty basic stuff. Met the prenatal consultant after my appt...kind of a waste though this early on... at least it seemed like it to me.
December 10th ~ Down Syndrome testing ~ baby's measuring a few days ahead at 13 weeks. And Wiggles was very squirmy, baby has all 10 fingers cause it waved with both hands. Heart rate was at 148bpm
December 16th ~ 2nd OB Appt ~ everything looks good, low risk for Down Syndrome, got to hear the baby's heartbeat...such a sweet sound.
January 13th ~ 3rd OB Appt, nothing new to report. I've gained 2 1/2lbs since my last appointment.
January 26th ~ BIG U/S Scheduled!!!! It's a GIRL!!!!!
February 10th ~ nothing to report, everything is good, baby's heartbeat was beating hard. I gained 5lbs from my last appointment. The dr could not confirm the baby was a girl cause they don't do that just in case they are wrong but we were told by the ultrasound technician that she always gives 100% confirmation for a boy but not for a girl cause there is a small chance it could still be a boy, so fingers crossed it's a girl.
March 10th ~ got all the info for my upcoming bloodwork and glucose test. I gained 5lbs from my last appointment. Was informed I have 12 weeks or less, more then likely less since I am already contracting... YIKES!
April 7th ~ got results from my bloodwork...no good news. I failed the 1-hour glucose test and have to do the 2-hour test. I have a UTI, and something is abnormal with my thyroid. I mentioned about pain on my right side under my ribs and now she thinks I may have possible liver issues or it could be my kidneys... so more bloodwork.
I got to hear the heartbeat and man was it loud. She is measuring right on track and my belly is measuring good as well. I've gained about 6 1/2lbs since my last appointment.
April 21st ~
