Update!

I had my first appointment with my MFM. This MFM is different than my last. We are going to try to get me to 39 weeks. Unlikely with my induction at 30 weeks and my pre term labor at 36 weeks, but hey there is a possibility! I am nervous about this because every day I remain pregnant could mean a day closer to Preeclampsia. A bit scary.

I do not like how this doctor has the mind set that "In my 25 years I have never seen anyone not get Preeclampsia in the second but get sick in their third" Unfortunately I volunteer for the Preeclampsia Foundation and know PLENTY of women. So that statement made me wonder inside if this is another doctor that just "goes by the book" or really knows her shit. Hopefully she knows her shit, if not I sure as hell do. New MFM says why do a 24 hour urine if your not dipping 1+ protein. NEW FLASH...last time I dipped 1+ protein I was sent home only to deliver my baby girl stillborn 2 weeks later. LETS NOT WAIT until there is an issue. LETS catch the issue before it begins!

My appointment was two hours long. My next appointment is with my OB next week and I need to voice my concerns that I want THE. SAME. CARE. as I had with Carter. I WANT 24 hour urines frequently and PIH labs frequently. Peace of mind is priceless. As far as I know my OB is the one who really handles my care and tests etc. I just need to verify that. Otherwise I will switch. I have no problem with that.

In my earlier post I posted how I was feeling a bit better during week 11. I jinxed myself. I am back to the all day nausea. Ugh. Mornings are the best for me. I just can't wait till this nausea is over!


Can you believe this!? How amazing! How lucky am I to have an office that does this at every ultrasound?! I will sure have a ton of these!

How far along are you now?

That ultra sound pic is great! As far as the doctor concerns, yeah, I'd consider switching. She doesn't seem to know her stuff and I think you would have more peace of mind with a high risk OB that specializes in hypertension. Let us know how it goes-
