2nd OB/MW appt
We left the house around 430 anticipationg traffic. My appt was at 530! We waited around what seemed forever! And finally were asked to come back and for me to get weighed (150lbs) and than taken to the exam room and my blood pressure was taken (110/78). And than we waited again Finally the dr came in and we started talking. He asked about my blood sugars and I told him. Than I mentioned about the cerclage being an option- the dr stated that that is a strong possibilty and he has no problem with it.. he just has to sit with the other drs of the practice and discuss my file along with ALL the other high risk pregnancies in the office! Than he started his rant (I say rant because neither John or I agree with this) about genetic testing. He said he would like for us to have 1st tri testing done before the cerclage just so we don't make a decision to do the cerclage and changed our minds following the testing (sounded to me like he was saying if downs or trisomies may be present we could abort/terminate- that is what we are NOT going for). We told him regardless of tests and such we wouldn't change the outcome of the birth of our baby. And he "seemed" to respect that idea and decision. (I say "seemed" cause he didn't seem convinced and looked as if we didn't know what we were thinking or talking about). I told him we made the decision not to test with Jayden so we would follow that and not test with this baby either. Than he talked about a menginoele with Jayden and I said "well the hospital photographer and nurse said there was a problem on his spine and 'suspected' spina bifida but we never had an autopsy performed to say yey or ney". My personal opinion because of my irregular periods I don't feel like I was a full 21w3d when I lost Jayden... and I feel like his spine hadn't closed all the way, there was NOTHING wrong with our son! He was the perfect of perfect babies..... and I'm not saying that cause he is our son. Anyways we discussed what needed to be discussed! Nothing less and nothing more for now! My appt s will be weekly because of my diabetes , he wants to see my levels each which to tweek my insulin with each week to each trimester! So yay for that! I asked about an ultrasound and the dr feels like the Peri is the best place to go to have them done. He doesn't seem to trust the regular ultrasound places lol.... so our first u/s is on Wednesday. He wouldn't do a doppler to check the heartbeat because he feels it is too early now for one. So we wait and wait again for about another week :( Sad but okay with it I guess LOL! Well that's it I guess! I'll probably update again after the ultrasound but again the appts will be updated per request :) Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. And definitely for the continued prayers and positive thoughts!
