NP- MFM Appointment

Today I am 10w1d

So I went to talk to the MFM today and he answered alot.

Questions that were answered. 

Will I have to be put on other blood thinners other than LDA- No, my mother never had a DVT and I haven't had one either so I am safe with the just the LDA. Unless my Mother or I develop a clot then I'll be put on Lovenox. Also I will need Lovenox after my c section for at least 6 weeks. 

He asked if we thought about the quad test. I said I didn't want it, he said that with his patients that have had preeclampsia and HELLP he would like to get one part of the test the maternal serum part or AFP. What this test shows him is if there is a possibility of low birth weight or placental problems. And since i also had a classical c section he would really like me to get it based on that fact since problems can arise if my placenta attaches to the scar. I pray to God it doesn't that it attaches to the back. 

Other things that were brought up were that I will have growth scans starting around 24 weeks. I will also have an amniocenteses around 36/37 weeks to check lung maturity, if it comes back saying that baby bean's lungs are good then we will go ahead with my c section. And since I had the classical c section if I feel contractions before then to rush into L&D ( Don't want a rupture.) 

And well that was pretty much my appointment. I didn't have an ultra sound done; today was just meeting with the doc my next ultra sound will be October 1st at 1400. 

NP-First OB Appointment

Sorry if this seems all over the place I blame it on the baby brain. 

On August 23rd Dave and I went to NMCP to talk to the OB. We talked about alot of things mostly about Laken and what happened with her during my pregnancy and things to consider with this pregnancy. I will see an MFM on the 3rd of September. Also I will have to go to the Lab to do my baseline labs ( check all the levels that they test for Preeclampsia). 

Based on my LMP I should be around 9w5d today but I know I ovulated late and based on the ultrasound I am 8w4d which is spot on based on ovulation. Baby Bean's heartbeat was flickering away but sadly the machine they midwife was using she couldn't figure out how to measure it. That kinda bummed me out and annoyed me since we couldn't find it on the doppler either. Apparently baby is still low in my pelvic bone.  So hopefully fingers crossed I get another ultrasound or able to find Baby Bean on the doppler on the 3rd. I really hope to get another ultrasound. 

Last time when I got my first ultrasound with Laken she was all over the place bouncing here and there, but i think i ate some cheerios with sugar.  This time Baby Bean was calm and was willing to work with us for the most part measuring was hard BB liked to stay curled up, I stayed away from the sugar breakfast this time.  

Just like last time I have horrible morning sickness that the only thing that helps is some zofran. I like to call it my little miracle pill. The morning sickness started at about 6 weeks and now I have some good days and very bad days. I can tell how my day is going to go from the moment I get up. If I wake up and have to jump out of bed and end up looking into the toilet its going to be a B-A-D day.
