N/T Scan Update & A Scare...

by natemomma27, Jul 17, 2008 02:44PM
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!
