My appt went okay, again not the greatest, but definately not the worst.
First the bad
- had to wait for ever. Took 40 minutes after my time til they called me back and then it was another 30 minute wait for the doctor after they did the inital bp, weight and pee in a cup. I don't know if it is because it was an emergency appt so they might have already been booked and just squeezed me in, plus being a Monday probably doesn't help either. Anyways, I was pretty pissed about this because I already have a busy day and got an emergency call this morning that I had to squeeze in on my lunch time.
- my doctor will not increase the frequency of my appts or let me have a big scan to check on growth or the SCH between the NT scan tomorrow and the anatomy scan in 6 weeks. I was very upset about this because I don't want another experience like last time where I go for the anatomy and find out the baby is measuring 3 weeks small.
All he said is he will do a bedside u/s when I come for my appt in September but that doesn't help much since you can't really tell growth on that machine.
- he did do use the portable u/s today, but I couldn't see anything because of the glare on the screen. However, this isn't too upsetting since I have my NT scan tomorrow morning so I could really have cared less about seeing anything today.
Now the good
- When he used the u/s he couldn't see the SCH so he said that it is likely under 1cm then because that is the lowest his machine reads. We should get the exact measurements tomorrow.
- my 24 hr urine and liver and kidney values from last week came back good - no surprise here though since they were only done for a baseline and I would have been shocked if I had pre-e already.
- he will increase my appt frequently if something comes back bad on the NT tomorrow, so praying that everything looks good.
- I was able to talk to the insurance lady and found out that they will take Masshealth even though they are in RI so don't have to worry about my insurance not being accepted when our old insurance runs out sometime in September.
