We got the results of the blood work I had back at my 12/13 week ultrasound with the MFM. The baby is healthy. All markers are 1 in a 10,000 range which is a very low risk for down's or the trisomies. What I am disappointed about was that they didn't run the test to find out the gender after they said they would. If it was never mentioned I never would have been so upset. And of course, now I have to wait till 20 weeks according to the nurse because insurance won't pay for another blood test. Another crappy issue I have is that I had to call them to find out the results. They didn't bother to send it to my OB nor did they call to let me know. I finally messaged my OB office and they said to call the MFM directly. I'm not happy with the communication in that office. I will say that the next time the nurse says J can't come in the room with me, I'm going to say I want him with me. She wanted me alone so she can take vitals and ask me about being safe at home. Then after seeing her, I had to go back and wait in the waiting room for another 15 minutes or so. Next came the ultrasound with someone else now. Then walks in another nurse for the blood work. Then the doctor who said he wanted me to do a 24 hour urine test to make sure my kidney's are functioning. Of course no one spoke to me about it. I also had the first nurse hand me a bunch of papers. Blood sugar logs sheets but no one bothered to discuss it with me. The whole appointment was so overwhelming. Right now I'm just so disappointed and pissed off. I am glad the baby is healthy though. I know that's the most important part and I'm trying hard to focus on that.
Symptoms I felt this week:
- Breasts still hurt but less than last week. Still need to go bra shopping.
- Feeling sick but usually right before bed which is also extreme exhaustion
- Still tired
- Still feeling full in my belly
- Constipation (so joyful)
- Headaches on and off.
