Next steps

Since the boost of confidence that was our NT scan, I've done a few things that I had put off and have started thinking about a few more:

• Rented a doppler - hasn't arrived yet so I don't know how that's going to go. I got the 2mgHz, not sure if that was a good or bad idea. I'm not overweight but I am past 12 weeks now so I've heard it will do the job. Then again, a lot of what I've read has been straight from the websites that are renting the things so I'm not so sure...any advice is always appreciated.
• Ordered 2 bella bands. One black, one white. I'm starting to need them already for work. It's just too precarious to walk around with my button unbuttoned.
• Looked at my local yoga studio's schedule for prenatal classes. They only have one at lunchtime on Thursdays. Which raises the question in my mind - does one sweat during prenatal yoga? The studio is walking distance from my work so the time is doable, but I probably won't have time for the shower and re-making myself up afterwards so if it's the kind of workout that requires the shower, I may stick to walking the dogs.
• Considered forgoing the second trimester screening. The first one was so stressful. My risk factor for the trisomies seems so good at this point, and while I know the second tri screen looks for spinal tube defects, I think my risk for that is low too. I gorged on folic acid the whole first tri (and took supplements the whole year prior) and didn't get overheated...that I can remember. A screen positive happens to one in 20 people where only 0-1 of those actually has an issue. I don't think I would handle a screen positive very well - I wouldn't want to do an amnio and risk the pregnancy and I'd just worry a lot. All bad. Might skip it.
• Thought about when and how to 'tell.' Before the scan I had these fantasies that if it went well, I'd arrive at work afterwards and tell C and V and a week or two later, the rest of the gang. But it still didn't feel right yesterday after the appointment. I had plenty of opportunities to tell C. But it made me nervous. It still felt early somehow. As for my parents, I want that to be in person, but we won't see them until the 20th. I'll be 14 weeks exactly. That's pretty far and DH thinks I'm robbing them of weeks of excitement. But I can't imagine telling them on the phone or with a valentine's day card (one of my other ideas). This is huge for them. Their first grandchild. And it's not like they live in another state. I think it has to be in person. DH's family will probably find out after my parents do. Its funny to think our co-workers will probably know before our families.
• I have a dr. appt tuesday. This is the one where my OBG tells me not to eat deli meat or brie and that moderate exercise is healthy. I'm not quite sure why we're doing this - seems silly. But I have a bunch of questions I want to ask (like about skipping 2d tri screening) and she wants to do pap. I'm not so into this pap idea because I keep reading that paps during pregnancy can come back abnormal more often for reasons that are really benign. I feel the same aversion to this as I do to the second tri screening. I don't want to risk a positive test and then invasive diagnostics (a biopsy in the case of the abnormal pap). My last pap was a year ago and while I would never advocate for skipping paps under normal circumstances, I kinda want to put this one off until August. Am I being irresponsible?
