We are team.....

PINK!  I'm so excited that we are having a little girl.  My 6 year old son was a little disappointed, but he's excited now.  Although I'm AMA my doctor has not treated me any differently so I haven't had a lot of the same tests that you all have had, but something came up in the u/s we had last week that is concerning and I wanted to know if any of you have had any experience with this.  My doctor said her head is not a perfect circle, that it has a slight lemon shape to it.  She said a lemon shape can indicate spina bifida, but her spine looks perfect and the genetic testing came back normal.  She is sending us to a fetal specialists for a more in depth ultrasound just to rule out any issues.  My doctor does not seem to be overly concerned, so I'm trying to keep positive as well.  I don't feel like anything is wrong but it's hard not to be somewhat nervous, and our appointment isn't until 5/21 so I have 3 weeks to think about!  I've read online others that have been told this and their baby is fine, but you can't always believe what you read on the internet. Any insight or advice? 

Thanks!

I did some ld nursing and had a baby who was perfect and also had the lemon sign. I think you are fine. Congrats on team pink! Lurking:

Thanks!  It's always reassuring to know someone who has gone through the same thing and everything was perfect!
