Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Hi , I am currently 35 1/2 weeks along in my pregnancy & have been having the same rhythmic " thumping " that you have been experiencing. I first thought that they were kicks & was surprised at how evenly spaced & constant they were. I now agree with the others that they are hiccoughs. I had my GBS test last week. And, my OB's comment was that it was just routine & if it's positive, no big deal. Regarding the frequent USs... I have had numerous USs (probably 8 to 10) taken; although not to measure my cervix length. They don't have any inherent dangers to the baby - although I think he was a little annoyed during a few of them as he became very active afterwards. And, I think the every 2 weeks is common at your stage for measuring the cervix. I also remember reading that some women (especially first timers) experience some shortening of the cervix during the second trimester. So don't be surprised if you do see some variation. Good Luck!!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 , I don't believe the u/s's will hurt the baby. I am glad you are being monitored so closely and I bet you love seeing your little one so frequently. frequent U/Ss Hi again! Thank you to everyone that has responded to all of my prior questions...One more thing I forgot to ask is I have had U/Ss every other week since week 12 to monitor the cervix length (so far I have consistantly measured right around 3.5 every time). Are these U/Ss dangerous? Are you guys having this many too? - I think they are common practice among us lucky MA chics. I am 27 weeks now and I think I am going to keep getting these every other week until delivery...does this sound right? Thanks! GIRL : ) - not sure which name yet...Demi or __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 I too had very frequent U/s's during my pregnancy. I went in twice a month from 14 wks until I was 24wks and then I had to go in for U/S plus fetal non-stress testing. My doc just wanted to keep an eye on the growth of the baby, my amniotic fluid levels as well as they wanted to see how the right horn of my uterus would react to the preganancy. It was awsome...I have so many pics of Matt before he was even born. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 <<How often and what weeks did you have the U/Ss combined with the NSTs?>> I began having U/S along with the NST's at about 25 wks. Mostly because Matt was measuring small for gestation and I was starting to show signs of preeclampsia. I went in twice a week for the U/S and NST and then once a week to see my OB. <<What did they say about the right horn? They say my left horn (which baby is in) just pushed the right horn out of the way.>> That's pretty much what happened with mine as well...we never really discussed my uterus, my OB was just curious as was the U/S Tech so they just kept an eye on it. They were mostly just checking on fluid levels. Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hi Faith. How often and what weeks did you have the U/Ss combined with the NSTs? I wonder if that is what they plan on doing for me too? Well see. What did they say about the right horn? They say my left horn (which baby is in) just pushed the right horn out of the way. --- HaveFaeth@... wrote: > I too had very frequent U/s's during my pregnancy.
