11 week OBGYN visit

So yesterday went to see my OBGYN to see how our baby was doing as well as discuss with him my concerns about what the perinatologist said. I am so thankful to have such a compassionate OBGYN as well as his great bedside manners. He answered all of my questions and even said that he wished he could take all of my stress away!

My main concern was when the perinatologist told us that if the fluid behind the baby's neck does not decrease, he would not be able to put the cerclage in. Well according to my OBGYN the peri should have explained further saying that if the fluid did not decrease, he cannot do the cerclage when he wanted to put it in which is on the 13th week but would have to wait to see until the fluid does decrease which can be risky bc of my history of premature labor around the 18-20 weeks.

He said we would all discuss our options if it comes to that but after seeing the baby today and getting a clear shot of the back, he said he has seen that type before and it looks normal to him. He is very optimistic!

You do not know how much stress has been lifted off my shoulders although I still have some...still need to get through our screening on Monday and also nervous about the cerclage itself...

Anyways it is some news I needed to hear...

Oh and when we saw our little one (from the ultrasound does not look as little anymore), he or she was moving his/her feet...did not see the face though...mainly the back but that is ok because we will see our little one again Monday!

Week 9

Hello everyone!

So today I had my first initial OB appt...not really initial because since week 5 I have been going in for ultrasounds...but today was the long appt with blood tests and all.

Saw our little one and got to see him/her move around!

Also thought we were at 9 weeks 2 days because my past appts my doc said 2 days on Fridays but today said I am due April 10 which puts me at 9 weeks 4 days...it really does not matter...as long as our little one is doing well...

So far so good! Next week...perinatologist appt...and hopefully will get a date set for the procedure...

Until later!
