wow Renee - 1/17,000 that's awesome!! did they give you disk so you could check out all the photos at home, and email them off to family and friends? What was the crown rump length? Sorry your MS is sticking around
Lise - what about those things like raspberry leaf tea, or other herbs that bring on contractions? although I'm sure you've probably tried all of that by now anyway!!
Juniper, I had a scan at about 7 weeks but then again my FS is now by OB so it kind of made it easy (and I had some bleeding a few days before so I was a bit of a mess, maybe they did the scan just to placate me?). Then a scan around 10 weeks, then the nuchal at about 12.5weeks. I wouldn't have been able to remain calm without having those scans.
Okay long-termers in here, help me out with what to expect at a normal 4week OBs appt? I walked in with DH, sat down, he asked if we had any questions? No. Okay lie over there and let's take BP, sweet 120/70. Okay let's check out the belly, put the doppler on lower abdomen and confirmed heartbeat still going strong (still quick 160 BPM), pushed into abdomen and felt uterus, great it exists. OK. Right, so no other questions? Okay yes, I've been getting a bit faint and dizzy, is that normal? Just make sure you drink lots of water. Okaaaay. $70 and over within 10 minutes. - What questions should I be asking coz I'm feeling a bit ripped off here!?
For anyone booking into Nth West Hosp @ Everton Park: found out this morning that even though I had filled in the pre-admission paperwork that the OB gave me, and sent it in, that you ALSO need to fill in an online form. (even though when you go online it actually says fill in EITHER the paperwork your doctor gave you OR do it online). Just an FYI in case you get caught like I did. Also left them a voicemail about the antenatal classes, thinking of doing the Saturday morning ones if there are spaces.
Belly rubs to everyone else! Have a great night :-)
Chrissy - sounds exactly like my OB appointments!! At first I was a bit miffed but eventually I realised that short visits were actually good because it means everything is fine and there are no problems. I know for us worry worts we're used to being fussed over but this is one instance where shorter is better because it means your OB has no concerns, so don't feel like you're being ripped off!!
