This is a pic that the OB gave me showing my little Hubba Bubba on it's side all squished up! Actually, it wasn't squished, this just happened to be the shape of my tummy cause I hadn't had a full bladder (no one told me I had to prior to this appt). Saw the heart beating nicely but forgot to actually ask how fast it was this time! I think I actually thought his little machine wouldn't tell me that, and I was just happy to see it alive and well.
This pic keeps freaking me out though. Kinda looks like it has massive eyes compared with the rest of it! I emailed it to my Mum and she jumped on Skype to talk to me about it! Even though we're in different states, it's cool for my family to be able to see these pics on the same day I get them done! Gotta love the wonders of modern technology!
My OB was such a lovely guy. Very thorough and asking loads of questions and getting a good grounding on my history. He talked through everything and what I needed to do from here. Then he did the scan and advised that Bub is exactly where it should be and it's CRL measures exactly the date it should be, meaning it's growing great!
He gave me a referral for the 10 week blood test and 12 week scan for Downs Syndrome so hopefully all will go well with that. Booked in for the scan on the 13th of May at 9am and will get bloods taken upon my return from Sydney on the 3rd of May. Then I am back to the OB on 25th of May where he said he will check my cervix to make sure all is ok in that regard. With my history of premature labour with my twins, he wants to ensure I've not got an incompetent cervix, in which cse they might put a stitch in it to hold. The blood test on the 3rd will also to be to check my kidney function seeing as last time it was borderline. Hopefully my sodium levels will be up this time too.
So, many appointments and blood tests to have still and they're just to the 12 or so week mark!! Will just be glad to be able to tell people, cause I'm getting sick of avoiding social gatherings!!!
DP went to a birthday party on Saturday night and I avoided it, claiming a kidney infection. I was fine to stay home, but then got all sad and grumpy on Sunday, wishing I could go out and have a good time like everyone else!! Was just feeling sorry for myself and am sick of feeling sick all the time! Once I get to the 12 week mark and can tell people though, it will be much better not having to hide it and then people will understand better. Hopefully by then, the MS will have tapered off a bit too!! Fingers crossed!
Anyway, enough for one day! Until next time...
