I went to my 12 week appointment on Thursday. It went really well. This appointment was with the actual doctor and we discussed our realistic birthing options.
I would like to do a VBAC and it looks like it hopefully will be an option. My doctor has to get the operative report from my c-section with Zoe to ensure the uterine suturing was done properly. She's sure it was a lower transverse cut since it was a scheduled choice rather than emergency and they had time to properly do everything- but she wants to be sure, so we will wait to be sure. The other stipulations are that she will not induce me for a VBAC and wants the entirety of my laboring to be done in hospital so they can monitor the baby as well as myself to watch for signs of uterine rupture. Of course, if anything starts to look even the slightest bit risky, she will just do another c-section.
I will be delivering at St.Lukes downtown so the Ped's hospital is right there as well in the event, God forbid, anything were to need to be done with the baby.
We went over my lab results from last visit. Everything looks really good except for the fact that I'm now borderline anemic. Not the end of the world or really even uncommon in pregnant women. Hoping it will clear up by next appointment- if not, we just add an additional iron supplement and that generally does the trick.
She was ok with my weight, but I need to start catching up. The way this weekend has been going- that shouldn't be a problem. :)
We also did the Harmony test. Eek!!! Super excited. So it tests for the three most common chromosomal abnormalities. trisomy 23- down syndrome, trisomy 13 and trisomy 18. It also tells us the sex of the baby. We should have results they said in generally about 10 days. She didn't specify business days, but I'm optimistically hoping that maybe by the end of the week we know!!!
Other than that all is well with the baby. As soon as we learn more, we will let you all know! :)
