I really love you guys so much. This is so sweet.
The scan was good. Baby wasn't totally cooperative so there were a few things they couldn't see so they'll take those pictures when I go back in a few weeks but what they could see looked good. The things I was particularly worried about were all good; my placenta, growth, the cord had all the vessels, the blood flow, the brain, the heart (although thats one of the things where baby was not having it but what they did see looked good and hb was strong 158bpm). Baby was moving around like a rock star in there too, clearly loving his life.
There were two things that were questionable. There is a big fancy word for when the urethra can come out the bottom of the penis instead of the end and the dr said she might have seen that but only because she was looking. Even so, that's pretty minor and generally fixable so that's ok and she said babies without Trisomy's get that too so its not diagnostic for baby having MT16. And she said on some pictures the bones at the bottom of the spine look like they might be sticking out. She said some pictures looked perfect and some looked like there might be something so it may be incidental. But I'm not going to perseverate on that just yet.
I feel quite relieved all in all. And I love you guys. Thank you for remembering and being supportive and wonderful.

I'm glad you had an overall good scan, friend.  Here's hoping when you go back in a few weeks, you get more certain information about the questionable areas and some direction on how to proceed with any necessary treatments. <3 |

You've been on my mind. I'm so glad that you got a lot of reassuring news at your scan and that you're feeling overall relieved about how it went. I hope that your next scan shows nothing but more good news. And I hope that the weeks you have to wait pass quickly!

This sounds so morbid but I am feeling a lot more optimistic that I am going to be able to take a baby home at the end of all of this. Things seemed so bleak for awhile. It also helps that I can feel him moving a lot more these days.
And they referred me back to the high risk clinic I was at for DS1 (I was high risk then because of my BMI - no other issues at all. And this time my BMI was under the cutoff but yet, the universe has other plans). Anyways, my dr there is wonderful and I'm looking forward to seeing her on Weds.

I'm still not sure if I believe we're getting a take-home baby at the end of this. But every passing milestone and success makes me more and more confident. For both of us. <3 |

leatherpants , FWIW, I have a friend whose son had that issue with the urethra and did not have trisomy. It was corrected and he's absolutely fine now. I'm glad to hear the scan went well!
