Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I love the pix of Noelbaby doing a headstand! Its neat that you could see it move - must be very reassuring. Yuck to the bleeding and infection - you would think your body would know better than to dish out any added grief right now; as if you don't have plenty on your mind these days! Will you get started on a rotating basis of sorts; alternating between the peri and ob so that you are seen by someone every two weeks like Tara was? Will you have to travel to see the peri? And who will do the cerclage? Sorry to ask 20 questions, but inquiring minds want to know! Glad everything is looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 Yea Beth!! Your " teddy graham " looks great. On his head and all! I can not believe you are 10 weeks already. It is amazing how much you can see in the US. It was so moving to see my last angel moving around in there. I know you will get some good answers from the Peri. The nuchal translucency test is also quite miraculous. How can you measure something so small in such detail... technology is amazing! Good luck. Lots of happy thoughts coming your way!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 > What is a nuchal translucency scan???? Hi Angie, That scan measures the thickness of the clear part of the back of the neck in a young fetus (10-16 weeks). It is considered a marker for Down syndrome and some other stuff. I wanted to know if anything was grossly wrong with the baby before having a cerclage put in. My DH wants to know about Down, too, as I am 37. But Mainly I want to get to know this guy and pepper him with questions. :-) Beth SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 ((((Beth))) What a stress this bleeding has become for you and DH. I'm sorry it is still plaguing you, but relieved to hear the great news about your appt. Your little squirt is quite animated.

Wish it could be easier not to worry about the bleeding, but I know that you will keep you eye on it and see the dr. ASAP if it changes. > " See you in four weeks " the OB said, and turned to leave.

Way to go Beth (doing a happy empowerment jig) ;-) I wish I could have your kind of gumption at my appts. I'm glad that you will get what you need. Your closest MFM dr. is 100 miles away?!
