TTC: Do you have a BD routine, i.e. how many days before O do you start and do you go for every other day or every day?
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled?
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider?
3rd Trimester: Do you think you'll go early, late or on time?
L&D: Did your health care provider break your bag of waters or let it break on it's own? If it was broken, how far into active labor where you? Did it change anything (did it speed up your labor, or cause any distress to the baby, or did they need to try to replace fluid later?)
First Days: How often did your LO eat in the first few days? Did you keep a log?

Re: BOTB
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled? It was during week 5 or 6 (around this time last year!).
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider? I never really had many questions. I do remember asking if it was okay to go to a rock concert, lol.
3rd Trimester: Do you think you'll go early, late or on time? I thought I would be late and I was right.
L&D: Did your health care provider break your bag of waters or let it break on it's own? If it was broken, how far into active labor where you? Did it change anything (did it speed up your labor, or cause any distress to the baby, or did they need to try to replace fluid later?) n/a
First Days: How often did your LO eat in the first few days? Did you keep a log? I only kept a log in the hospital. She ate about every 2 to 3 hours during the first two weeks.
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled?
Around 4 weeks I think, but it's because we didn't really know how far along I was (still nursing T and periods weren't regular)
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider?
I don't think I had much in the way of questions this time around...
3rd Trimester: Do you think you'll go early, late or on time?
I was hoping for early, but thought I'd go late. I was right, but didn't go too far past
L&D: Did your health care provider break your bag of waters or let it break on it's own? If it was broken, how far into active labor where you? Did it change anything (did it speed up your labor, or cause any distress to the baby, or did they need to try to replace fluid later?)
My water broke on it's own this time (first time!). I was at 10cm though and pushing to try and break it. Can't really say that it changed labor at all because K came out with the next push...
First Days: How often did your LO eat in the first few days? Did you keep a log?
No log. K is eating every 3 hours or so. She's much sleepier/less hungry than T was so I end up having to wake her to feed her....
Updates:
Baby K is here :-) Labor was perfect and went exactly as I wanted which was a nice change... DH may even be able to convince me to do it again!
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled? first scheduled one was at 9 weeks, but i was brought in at 7 weeks for spotting
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider? i always had a ton of questions! Stuff about labor & delivery mostly, plus asking about my spotting each time...
L&D: Did your health care provider break your bag of waters or let it break on it's own? If it was broken, how far into active labor where you? Did it change anything (did it speed up your labor, or cause any distress to the baby, or did they need to try to replace fluid later?) She asked if she could break my water at about 11am, I had been induced the day before at about 4pm. She asked me to think about having my water broken, but then had to go to a c/s and told me to think about it. When she returned, I said 'no' and she knew i was going to. My water started leaking shortly after that anyway (and finally popped when i started pushing)
First Days: How often did your LO eat in the first few days? Did you keep a log? I did keep a log (but won't next time, caused me too much stress) At the beginning we had to wake her every 3 hours to feed her.
ERD 01.16.11
Surviving postpartum depression & OCD one day at a time.
Also experienced antenatal OCD.
Feel free to ask me questions about my experience.
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled? My LMP was almost two months prior to BFP so they brought me in the next week to see how far I was. I ended up being a little less than 6 weeks at my first appt.
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider? I didn't really have questions until 3rd tri and those were about my birth plan, etc.
3rd Trimester: Do you think you'll go early, late or on time? I always felt I would go late as I was 9 days late and my brother was 11. I was right!
Updates: I had an appt today and am making progress on my own, and I had a great NST and ultrasound. Next appt is 9/20 for another exam/NST/ultrasound.
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled? I was 8 weeks exactly according to my LMP/chart, and an u/s on that day confirmed my EDD and that I was 8 weeks.
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider? I didn't have many questions. T would ask a lot of questions about symptoms I'd have like the carpal tunnel and hip pain at night, etc. Things that I knew were normal so wasn't too concerned to bring up, but he would just to hear my OB say it was all normal too.
3rd Trimester: Do you think you'll go early, late or on time? I thought I would be late b/c I was 11 days late, and T was 9 days late. I went into labor very late the night of me EDD (technically the next day), and Cli was born at 11am the day after my EDD. I was in denial that it was real labor and thought I still had loooooots of time left
1st Trimester: When was your first doctor visit scheduled? At 8 weeks
2nd Trimester: What questions do you usually have for your health care provider? I didn't have too many about pregnancy, most of my questions were about his practice and labor.
3rd Trimester: Do you think you'll go early, late or on time? I thought I would be on time or late, R came 2 weeks early
L&D: Did your health care provider break your bag of waters or let it break on it's own? If it was broken, how far into active labor where you? Did it change anything (did it speed up your labor, or cause any distress to the baby, or did they need to try to replace fluid later?) My water broke, and active labor started later.
First Days: How often did your LO eat in the first few days? Did you keep a log? We didn't keep a log but it was at least every 2 hours with lots of cluster feeding at night, sometimes every hour for 4 hours.
Updates: R is 4 months old, where has the time gone???
