2nd Trimester here I come :)

Hi all~

I had my 11 week and 3 day appointment today, saw my OB for the first time (have had two previous ultrasounds though). "Spanky" looked great measured exactly on target, my weight gain is zero, and the rest of me checked out A O K.

Spanky will likely be delived Aug 2 or the week before by scheduled C-section due to previous C-Section and Group B Strep. I didn't fight the doctor on the c-section despite not wanting another. We are in a rural location and as she put it if anything goes wrong they would have to airlift us somewhere etc ect..... So OK... I know the majority of the reasoning has to do with malpractice insurance and hospital policy on VBAC that they don't want you to know about. All I want is a healthy baby :)

I am feeling GGGGGREAT (that had me worried but everything is fine). The doppler is a huge blessing and eases my mind so much.

I go to the doctor's again in 4 weeks and the "BIG" u/s is in 8 weeks.

I agreed to quad screen but not to amnio or CVS and my doctor concurred. She really knows how long it took me to get here and advised that the risk just didn't seem justified, especially if I wouldn't terminate irregardless of the findings.

I was okayed for very leisurely walking on the treadmill but otherwise I am to laze about :)

Happy Weds,
Londa

That is absolutely wonderful Londa. I think we are almost at the same place. I can't believe we are almost to the 2nd tri. My next appt is also in 4 weeks and then OB said sono again 2 to 4 weeks after that. YEA

That is a great appointment. I am so glad things are going well for you. Your doctor sounds pretty on top of things and that is great as well. I hope things continue to go smoothly for you.
