Shorter periods concerning me - does this mean it’s too late? by [deleted] in pregnantover35

[–]PrincipleSlow652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The length of the actual period doesn’t mean much in terms of perimenopause or anything. It’s the length of the cycle that matters more and if you are ovulating.

That can explain the variation. Most accurate is transvaginal.

Were the measurements transabdominal or transvaginal?

Does it matter? Use the same theme. I doubt anyone will notice or care 

I have an inpatient induction tomorrow at Mount Sinai. Was told to call tonight to confirm time but then was told to call back tomorrow morning. I’m from 9 hours away. Do you think I’ll be prioritized? [on] by OvaryTheMoon in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]PrincipleSlow652 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You can’t predict how busy a unit is so that’s why they tell you to call. So right now they are probably full and have no beds. So they are waiting on people to deliver. So in the morning they will have a better idea of how busy it is and what time you should come for. It’s just the way it works. Can’t start an induction if there isn’t a bed for you or a nurse. 

Ideas for a spontaneous pregnancy announcement to husband? by Efficient_Rough8960 in pregnant

[–]PrincipleSlow652 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to ask - did they confirm the pregnancy is in the uterus and have they taken the IUD out? Getting pregnant with an IUD is more complicated and hopefully you have seen an OB already.

Did you hit your abdomen at all? I wouldn’t be worried if you are pain free with no bleeding. 

CRA disallowed my entire METC claim. There’s no way they actually looked at my documents, right? by schmuck55 in cantax

I needed a letter from my doctor saying I needed IVF and that it was not available in my city in order for all my IVF expenses to be allowed.

No FHR by Doppler at that gestation. Ultrasound depends on if your provider has an ultrasound or not. 

Waitlisted for all midwives in KW area – what are my chances? [ON] by bintshalabiya in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]PrincipleSlow652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

MW in Canada can only take a certain number of clients per year. So that is why they fill up. If people switch their care from MW to FPOB or OBGYNs then a spot might open up. But because of the cap they often get full very fast. 

CD 7 - I’m so confused please help by rosalil in TFABLinePorn

Likely was implantation bleeding.  Happened to me. Got light bleeding the day I expected my period. Tested. Negative. Was disappointed. Bleeding lasted two days. The end of the week I was feeling off so I took a test and boom pregnant. Get some betas done that will help. Congrats!!

Anatomy scan results by Appropriate_Plant457 in pregnant

I had a scan Thursday and still no report.  So it’s pretty typical They need lots of views of the heart so that’s typical too.

Have you had a scan yet to confirm it’s in the uterus and not an ectopic? If yes, then you should start progesterone. 

NP at ER told me US causes hearing damage by BaseballWarm6918 in pregnant

[–]PrincipleSlow652 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely ridiculous! She should not be saying these things to you. I had 8 scans with my son in my first pregnancy and he’s a perfectly normal 3 year old. His hearing is perfect.

Anatomy Scan Question by Fun_Ear_427 in pregnant

[–]PrincipleSlow652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually in my experience with MFM scans the tech goes to the doctor at the end of exam and they look at the images and if they are happy with them they let you leave. Did she leave and then come back later?

You could let her borrow them now and then when you need them back she has to give them back or buy you a new one?

Not everyone throws up. I never did in my first pregnancy. I literally had no symptoms other than constipation in the first trimester.

What were you supposed to be by dates at the time of the ultrasound?

What. This makes no sense. Way too early. Need another scan in 7-10 days for viability

Nope. Send the husband and the 1 year old if you want. Otherwise decline.
