Today we had the ultrasound. Matt was supposed to be there, but didn’t show. :( The appointment was at 9:30. The baby is a girl. We tried to get a nice 3d picture… the whole reason I chose this doctor… but baby was up against the placenta and it’s hard to get a good picture when they are right up against something.
Plus she kept looking down!! And the cord went down between the legs...get into that later but we and to go from all different angles to try and see 'the goods'!
So good news and bad news… or maybe just news?
So the baby was healthy, and the placenta was out of the way. All the measurements where spot on, and the due date was again confirmed for June 18th. So I’m 21wks and 1day. He said the baby was breech but, that it isn't a problem yet; because the baby will move down latter. But the cord was wrapped 2x around the baby's upper leg... not sure if that’s a bad thing or just a meh thing? The doc was a lil concerned but not on alert. He said we would take another ultrasound at the next appointment, under the hopes that if she got herself in that mess she might get herself out of it. He said it may be something as easy as unwrapping the cord as she's born...unless it gets tight? or, or, or, i got so many could be’s I have no idea? Is it a bad thing, is it common? no clue?
Then on the bright side I asked him all about the preeclampsia, because I had that with Kyla, and he said I was less likely to get it this time. And that it is more common with a first pregnancy at my age, and I should be fine this time, and bla bla bla. But when he took my blood pressure -it's going up again :(. We thought maybe I was just excited about the ultrasound, and we will keep an eye on it for next visit.
Also he vaguely mentioned getting a shot at 28 weeks. It’s called RhoGAM® . I didn’t have this with Kyla and I never heard anything about me being Rh-negative. So… donno?
Another cool thing is that I don't have to change my H.M.O. the doc said mine was fine. So :P no more hour phone calls.
