Some offices are kind of anti climatic. I think those of us who are used to the infertility clinics also get used to much more feedback and tests than the regular ob office provides so it feels weird. |

No ultrasound? What is a bun test? I am glad through that you went, was this your "intake appt" with the Dr. or a nurse? I know that the way my Dr. does it is that you have your 1st INTAKE appt with the nurse without U/S and than you go back to see the Dr. at 10-12 weeks... |

no u/s? I think julie is probably right. we are so used to being given so much info. I really felt that i was an active participant with all the fertility treatment. |

Ladies - since most first appointments with the OB happen within the 1st week of being released they don't do any u/s it is pretty routine...They get your info, you see the doctor they give you a pap smear and test your urine and then they talk a little to you and out the door you go...We are all so used to and get spoiled by the throughness at the fertlity center we get kind of lost in the "normal" shuffle once transferring to an OB...Like I said this wait in between appointments is worse then the 2 week wait....All will be fine... |

yea we have been spoiled. my obgyn is 5 months pregnant and she is big as a minute. i asked why she is half the size of me and i am only 2months pregnant hehe. Anyways she is very nice. i go back on dec 12. for the bun test . the bun test is to check measuremnt for downs syndrome. I am so tired all the time and my boobs are huge. |

My OB calls that test the first trimester screening...It measures for down syndrome, trisomy 13 and trisomy 18...It is pretty neat that they can lok for all that on such a tiny baby...The test is done between weeks 11 and 13... |

Hey ladies - HOw are all my newly pregnant mommies doing?...I hope all is well...This little one's kicks are a little stronger now...Michelle when you get to this gestational age you will probably fell like they are in a soccer game!!!!...LOL!!!..I am glad to hear that all is going well....Just to let you all know a little wives tale is that if you don't have morning sickness or very little it is most likely a boy!!!!...Just to give you all a little to think about and maybe play a little guessing game so to speak....If you go on some of the baby websites and take the gender tests they seem to be quite fun...They have all sorts of old wives tale questions that I had never even heard of to try and answer...I have been playing around with them since the beginning...ALso the chinese gender predictor said that I was having a girl...It is supposed to be 99% acurate!!!!..Hope all is well and that you all are enjoying your weekend so far...Talk to you later. |

Hi Jenny: |

Hi! |

Daniella - YOu should most definitely check out other doctors this early in the game...You should feel happy and comfortable with the doctor that you choose...Most insurances do cover the first trimester screening...You may also want to call other doctor offices and discuss their protocol and may even want a high rsk OB just to get the extra attention and possible comfort...I went right away and looked for high risk OB's because of the infertility, my gastric bypass and my 2 m/c before or around the 6th week...I think the pay a little more attention as well as may do an extra sonogram or 2 as their protocol...Mine did the 1st trimester screening, then the 18 week u/s, and then I think we have at keast 3 more....I know of 2 more for sure!!!!...Hope this was of a little help...Talk to you later.. |

Thanks Jenny! I think I will look into some more docs tomorrow. The fertility doc gave us some more names but i had a friend who went to the doc we saw as her gyne and she loved him. So I thought I would give him a shot. Thanks for your advice! How's your little man doing? When did you begin to feel him move? |
||
|
||
|
Daniella - Little one is great thanks for asking...The first time I felt him move was on the 17th of October...I actually had been feeling him earlier then that just did not know that it was the baby...It was confirmed when he was kicking on an ultrasound and the tech asked if I felt that and I said yes that is was similar to what I had been feeling and she said that I had been feeling him move...Now his kicks have been a little more noticeable so it should be anytime that daddy is able to feel him as well...Is this your first?... |
