T&P Please.

myrall · May 2011

I have to go in today for a redux of my anatomy scan because LO wouldn't move enough for them to get a good shot of the heart. In addition to that, I get to endure a fetal echocardiogram because, according to my midwife, I'm bumping up against advanced maternal age (I'll be 35 about 2-3 weeks after baby comes).

The only history in either of our families for heart issues are mild murmurs in my dad, sister and half-brother. I don't have it - but something's telling me they're not just doing it because of my age. I'm 22 weeks this week.

I'm so nervous I could faint. My appointment's at 1:30. Happy thoughts, good vibes and prayers are appreciated.

Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way!! If it makes you feel any better at all, my anatomy scan was done was done at the perinatologist office. First the sonographer does one and then the doctor. They both spent tons of time looking at the heart. Like way more than anything else and enough where it scared both me and DH so we asked the sonographer first. She said, I'm just trying to get some good pictures. Then we asked if everything was ok, and she said the Dr. will look over everything. Ummmm, ok. The Dr. came in and spent gobs of time looking at the heart too. We were freaked. Finally, I just said, you and the sonographer are spending a lot of time on the heart, is there anything wrong? Silence. No, we are just trying to get the best pictures and your baby's position isn't quite cooperating. They could have just told us that from the beginning. Eventually, they got their shots and everything was good. All that to say, I understand how you feel and hope yours will turn out to be nothing just like our situation.

That is exactly what happened at our first appointment. Except we got ushered out of the ultrasound room and had to wait almost 15 minutes to talk to someone. I kept telling DH that the tech was spending waaaay too much time on the heart. So there I am, crying and about to have a nervous breakdown and they finally called us back. The PA told us that because we were only 18 weeks at the time, they sometimes can't get the clearest images of the heart. The views were "suboptimal". They needed us to come back in 4 weeks to redo things.

My midwife tried to make me feel a little better last week by saying that if I was standing on the opposite side of a closed door, her view of me would be suboptimal. I guess that works. But what was strange is that the peri's office didn't mention a thing about the fetal echocardiogram - it was my midwife that mentioned it. Ugh.

Hope everything is going well! I am so surprised they are considering you AMA, I was 35 when I had Lila (34 when I got pregnant for like 2 months) and Margaret said she wouldn't consider me AMA. Was it Amy or Anjli?
