I first discussed with doctor F the results of the Nuchal Translucency. I mentioned that the perinatologist seemed to think I was a week ahead. She said it is possible, but that they will not change my due date until later if so. That for now, she would like to keep me at 12/15, and not the 12/8. I guess its a "big deal" for doctors to change a due date... which makes no sense, since every doc gives me a different one! As Dave said- we're going with the perinatologist's view- 12/8, since he was quite extensive and I'll be seeing him again later in the pregnancy too. We trust him more- esp after everything else that happened at this appt.
I gave blood for the AFP test so that will also test for downs, etc. I also got very upset with my doc's viewpoint about the Level 2 ultrasound, and testing my cervical length. Without going into too much detail, I really felt her information was not correct, and plan to see a different doctor in the group after my next appt.
My BP was 110/60. Lower than last time, but still higher than normal. No concern though, since it's still below the avg norm. The baby's heart rate was 143.
My "BIG" Ultrasound is scheduled for July 24th- so I'll be just 20 weeks. Looking sooo forward to it! Can't wait!
Lastly, my belly popped last week. So I'm in full maternity pants now, and thanks to mom, we were able to find a few decent pairs. And sad to say, I'll be taking out the belly button ring next week. :(
15 weeks & a few days:
