Hi ladies! Kate, glad your trip went well. Not glad to hear you are sick lately, but I guess its to be expected. I hope it doesn't last long! I'm sure all will go well with your scan, I know you must be excited to see your little one in there! How is the unpacking and settling in going? Do you love your new place?
I wanted to share with you guys about a woman I came across on another board. This is the only board I have ever met anyone who has gone through a mp or pmp, so it was interesting to speak with someone else who had. She is, coincidentally, in Australia went to her 20 week ultrasound believing everything was fine. What gave Drs a clue was that every part of the baby (head, brain, stomach and all the organs and such) were measuring differently (different weeks in size). She said most of the organs were very small and squished up in the babies belly, so they decided to do an amnio. The results were pmp. They had to make the horrible decision to terminate at 25 weeks. I cannot imagine!
The reason I am sharing this is that she has since gone on to have two healthy babies and is pregnant again. Apparently, all her babies since have measured just the right size or even big. I am so scared of my impending 20 week ultrasound, but it gives me hope since my little one has been consistently measures a week ahead.
She said that since she has it in her chart that she had a xxy baby, when she gets ultrasounds they measure and date every part of the baby that they possibly can, especially at the NT scan. So, it would seem that this would be the least invasive way to test for pmp, other than a CVS, I assume. She shares nervous feelings at every Dr appt she goes to.
Just thought I would share a success story.
Looks like we have a baby about to be born! Clo how are you doing and feeling? Have you stopped working yet? Is everything ready for babies arrival? Are you super excited?
I hope all is well with everyone!
