Level 2 ultrasound

[Guest guest]

Anybody had a level 2 ultrasound and what is the difference between that and a

regular one? I am scheduled for one on next Friday.

,

Welcome and congrats!

I did the same GTT that you did and had the same results. Good for you for

making sure you took the test that you could tolerate. There are some ladies on

this site whose OB's are trying to force them to take the regular test.

As far as the tube tying thing, for myself, I am pregnant with my first child so

I'm not going to do this. My hubby and I discussed what we are going to do

after we feel we are done having children and we decided its best for him to get

" fixed " as I have tons of health problems and it would probably be best to leave

well enough alone in my case and him to go through it since he is a healthy guy.

It doesn't make any sense to me why having GBS would not allow you to be a

candidate for having your tubes tied. If I were you I would find out from the

doc that told you this why he is saying this and does he have any data to

support his claim. Then I would go and get a second opinion. I have learned

during my pregnancy, and reading the posts on this site, that if you go to 10

different docs you will get 10 different opinions, so do your research.

Re: Level 2 ultrasound

1-) How did your doctor do the glucose tolerance testing? I have had problems

with dumping and did not want them to do the actual tolerance testing with the

syrup stuff since it would make me terribly sick. So, they just did a fasting

blood sugar and then followed that up with the blood sugar that they take 2

hours after I ate my meal. All the came out great and they don't plan on doing

any further testing, even though I had gestational diabetes with my last

pregnancy. Any thoughts about this?

2-) Does anyone plan to have their tubes tied after this baby? I've thought

about it, of course, since this will be our 5th child.... But, one doctor told

me that I was not a candidate for the procedure because of having the gastric

bypass surgery. I haven't talked to my surgeon about this yet. It was one of

the high-risk OB-GYNs that I saw at the beginning of my pregnancy who told me

this.

Thanks!
