Sorry I have not been on here in a while, but we have been busy and when we haven't been busy I have been completely exhausted. Anways, we went to the MFM doctor Thursday. When we are there the nurse takes us back and she does my weight, blood pressure, and urine. She asked me if I was nervous when I am there...well yeah I am, but I was wondering why. She told me my blood pressure was a little high...it was 128/78...high? really? She didn't seem too concerned, but wanted to keep an eye on it.
The ultra sound tech then came in to get us for our ultrasound. This time they were checking the umbilical cord flow. So I lay back and she started moving around on my stomach and taking pictures...let me tell you this lil guy did NOT like being touched. He kept kicking and moving and wanted no part of getting his picture taken. Well 45 minutes later she said she was finished taking all of her pictures and she also checked the flow of the umbilical cord. So now was the time where she tries and gets us pictures of our lil guy. Well once again he wanted nothing to do with that. He kept hiding his face with his hands. We did end up getting some good pictures. She then left and said she had to complete her report and she would be back.
About 5 minutes later she came back in and said she needed a couple more pictures. Well I really didn't say anything, but Eric asked her why. She reassured us with that she didn't get a certain view of the heart. So I had to lay back down and she started pressing on my stomach again. Well once again he was not helping her out in any way lol. The head ultrasound tech came in to check on us and see if she could get it. She had to help her get him situated to get the picture they needed. They both left and I cleaned off the jelly again.
Then about 5 minutes later the head ultrasound tech came back in and said I want to check one more thing. Are you kidding me?!? Well, we had asked about where the umbilical cord was inserted at the placenta because with Rylee she had marginal insertion which means that her umbilical cord was inserted on the edge/side and not right in the middle of the placenta. So since we brought this question up she wanted to show us and get a picture of it. She did say the first time they checked it everything looked fine, but would check it again for us. She told us everything still looked good with the insertion. So then she left the room and I cleaned up the jelly one more time.
About 20 minutes later the tech came in and told us that everything looked good and we will come back in 6 weeks to check the flow again. We will also be getting a biophysical profile done. This will check the well being of the baby. It will be a more in depth look at the baby.
We got back to the regular OB February 7th for my gestational diabetes test (YUCK) and then we go back to the MFM doctor March 8th.
