N/T Scan Update & A Scare!

[natemomma27]

I had my normal check-up today and I had a bit of a scare. They couldn't find monkey's heart beat on the doppler and they tried twice, so natuarly I got worried. They were going to send me for an u/s, but seeing as how my N/T scan was scheduled at 1:00 they decided to wait and see the results of that. In between that time...an hour and a half...I was going nuts! Finally get to the perinatal center and the first thing they do is show me the heart beat, 159bpm!!! Everything looked fine on the scan. Monkey has a nasal bone and the skin on it's neck is measuring just fine. Little monkey also measures 7.7cm. I am so relieved! I posted the new pics, but baby wasn't co-operating at all! It was upsode down the entire time. They had me cough to try and move him/her but all it did was swat it's hand in front of it's face as if to say 'knock it off!'. I go for my level 2 (anatomy scan) Sept. 5th at 8:00am and I'm excited to know the sex of the baby!

Also, my due date keeps changing. Based on my LMP I'm 12w4d...Based on the first u/s baby measured 9w2d and now monkey measures 13w6d. So I figure I'm due sometime between Jan. 16th and Jan. 25th!

I understand.  I didn't have your wait time but first we met with the genetic councilor and she went over so many things...I was feeling, get me into this 2D scan now and measure our baby's neck!  All was fine, though and it was the first time we heard our baby's heartbeat.  So Amazing!  Our baby didn't move either, the baby stayed back to us with the head down. They had me lay on my side for a bit to see if that would get the baby to move...no luck.  I think the baby was napping!

Glad all is well!  I,too, will be finding out the sex in September.  We can't wait!
