And they saw the 4 chambers. BUT (isn't there always a freaking but...) now the nurse said some technical term that they need to monitor apparently. When I asked her what the term meant she said really it means nothing on their end either but they need to just check babies growth in another 4 weeks. WTF? I do not get it. I am going to pick up the perscription for the u/s later today so I want to see if she wrote the reason as the term she said on the phone so I can google... I am just so frustrated. I understand "better safe than sorry" but honestly please just tell me that my baby girl is ok. That's all I want to know. I have a horrendous head cold, DH made me depressed and feel like crap this weekend and now this?! I called DH to tell him and burst into uncontrollable tears at my desk. I felt like a total loser, but I just can't help it. *sigh* I just have been through SO much to even get pregnant w/ this baby in the first place and now all this... I feel like I'm being punished for wanting her so bad or something... Stupid, I know, but just stating my feelings.
Sorry. Again, I know this is all relative and "mild" by comparison to what people can go through, but either way it's just so frustrating not knowing if she's ok or not ok or what is even going on.

I find they often do that when there really is nothing wrong, but they just need to follow procedure to double-triple-check things. Just in the very, very slight chance that something else develops.
It happened with out DD's brain scans...we had to go to a second MRI 8 weeks later just to be sure the spot hadn't gotten larger or changed. Even though they'd already ruled all the scary stuff out.
Try not to worry
If they aren't saying scary things...then you may just be jumping at shadows.
That's gotta be so frustrating, I can't imagine. Well maybe I can, as my second tri bloodwork came back with a much higher probability than normal for my age for chromosomal problems, and all ended up being well, but it was a scary couple of weeks while we found out for sure. I think it's better they are being cautious, but don't you wish they could just not tell you about some of it until they know it's OK?
Good luck and Hugs to you!
ya. The office is right across the street from work so I am going to go over and pick up the perscription after I finish my lunch and I'll hopefully get more info then...
I hope they can offer you some better explanation, but it really might just be they are double checking as she grows.
With C I ended up having ultrasounds every 2-4 weeks from 24 weeks on just in case, because once they spot something that COULD be something they want to make sure it doesn't turn into something as they grow. It was just for monitoring to make sure things were on track.
(((hugs))) I would just point blank ask her to explain it to you. Tell her that you know she said it doesn't mean anything but that you're being a paranoid mommy and freaking out about it and could use some reassurance.
This. Sometimes a follow up call will get more info out since you will be talking to someone different.
If they said its good news then don't over stress it (easier said than done, I know). Just consider it a good thing they are monitering her so closely.
