Baby Girl is doing good but there were a few things they couldn’t get clear pictures on so I have to go back in 2 weeks. They also decided on BPP every other week starting at 28 weeks then going to weekly to check baby’s movement and growth because of my blood pressure and a few other issues. But here’s a few pictures of Baby!
Baby girl! You can see a little bit at the top her legs are all the way above her head. Probably a little squashed from the septum but hopefully she’s comfy.
@rosebud332 that's exactly the position my LO was in for the a/s. I thought it was crazy, but apparently you make do with the space you have! yoga babies!
Had a great anatomy scan today! Confirmed that LO is still a little dude, and we got all the measurements needed. Growth rate is good & normal, yay
21 weeks, measuring a few days behind (as expected)

I had my scan today! Baby girl is measuring right on track at 18w5d! I wish I had waited a week or two because some of your scans seem way more detailed! She was very active and it took a while but they got all they needed. Here’s a few pictures!

@AdorkablePixie Mine was at 22 weeks and I gotta say...I feel there was too much of him to get a good sonogram. I felt like I was looking more at limbs and parts of baby rather than a true profile view. So, maybe 18 weeks is the way to go.
Baby girl at exactly 20 weeks. She did not cooperate and this was the best pic we could get. I get another peek at her in 2 weeks to recheck her hands and heart.
She was applauding her dancing during part of the US, and clearly thought it amusing. She was actually clapping for a good 10 seconds. It was a cool moment to share with SO, and we had a good laugh about it. How neat to watch your baby clap its hands in utero!
Pics from today's scan at 24 weeks. Baby boy is doing great!! These ten about the best profile's we've gotten this whole pregnancy, this little boy is stubborn!!
Saw baby girl today at the follow up anatomy scan. She's looking good, and big! Couldn't get a full pic of her on the screen. She's looking much more squished in there than last time, but just as active!
Today we got some great pictures of our sweet boy, but also some bad news. His long bones and chest are so small for his gestational age that his risk of down syndrome has increased to 1 in 36. I took the harmony test today and will get the results back in a week or so. I pray that it comes back negative but baby will be loved the same either way.
@cfnative5 You are in my thoughts and prayers! I hope you get good results, but I’m sure your son will be well loved, no matter what. I know that my experience has no bearing on yours, but If it helps at all, my son showed multiple markers for trisomy 13, 18 and 21 (downs) on my 25 week u/s. We were so scared. He ended up being completely healthy with no extra or altered chromosomes, all of the “abnormalities” were just him! I hope you have a similar experience.
@cfnative5 Praying for your sweet boy and for you. I know things like this can be so emotional and waiting is so so hard. He will be so loved no matter what but I know that is hard news to hear!
Like @katy0990 said I know my situation doesn't effect what you are going through, but one of our embryos (a little boy) has shown low confidence in the chromosome specific to down syndrone. We don't know for sure that he has it but there is a very strong chance. I shed many tears as of course that is not the what you dream for your child but I love him so and hope I get to meet him some day! All that to say, I have experienced some of the emotions you are going through. Again, I'm sure that doesn't help but I'm here.
@cfnative5 sending hugs and best wishes to you. I volunteer with children with Autism and Down's. It's not an easy life but they are very sweet and there is lots of support out there for them and their families.
Thank you all for your kind words, it means so much to me that you are all here for us and are willing to share your experience. I will post an update as soon as I hear from the doctor.
@cfnative5 thinking of you. Definitely not easy news, but whatever the results, it sounds like you will love baby boy. You will both be blessed to have each other. I, like others, have worked with children with Down Syndrome, and they are lovely, sweet souls. Special children are given to special parents.
@cfnative I just wanted to say, my brother has down syndrome and he is 100% the best person I have even been gifted. I am the luckiest sister in the world to have him. And every family with a down syndrome loved one would agree. I'm sending positive thoughts for a healthy child. But honestly, if your baby does end up having down syndrome, please know that you just hit the jackpot and you are an extremely lucky momma.
