I came home and laid down. It was a pretty stressful day. The appt took over an hour and a half.
I will tell you what I know…
baby is about 10 ounces
baby is breech (they said it has time to turn but J was breech forever)
baby wouldn’t cooperate much
baby has a 4 chamber heart
there is a 3 vessel cord
This is what they told me…
They made a guess on the gender but the doc and the tech don’t feel 100% confident so we don’t know. They said that everything they saw looked okay but they are making me come back in 4 weeks. The doc said they would prefer to have a better look.
I am trying REALLY hard not to freak out here. I want to believe that they would have said if something were wrong, but I am just not sure. The baby was really stubborn and covering its face and sitting on its feet (just like J). I am hoping they are just being overly cautious by having me come back and that there isn’t something they aren’t telling me.
It is really hard not to worry though. They spent a very long time looking at the baby’s heart. A lot longer than with J. The tech did her measurements and then the doc came and did his. He walked out and said that things seem to be okay but then came back in and said I have to come back. I don’t know what to think.
They are also going to check my cervix at the next appt due to contractions.
So, I really know less than what I don’t know. It sucks. If I walked out knowing it is a boy/girl but they wanted to see it more, I could live with that. If they said the baby is a-ok but they can’t get the gender, I could live with that. It is the not knowing anything that is bothering me.
The baby is actually measuring around 19 weeks today but I doubt my EDD will change.
Any thoughts and prayers you could send would be great. I hope the 4 weeks flies by.
