Appt was Good

in Pregnant after a Loss

Baby is looking good.  They did an u/s but only brief.  They said the heart rate looked normal but we did not listen to it or get an exact reading.  Baby seemed to be sleeping at first but then they tried to get pictures, we couldn't get any good shots because s/he was moving around too much.

I also spoke with a genetic counselor about my NT results.  She made me feel much better about them.  (History: The u/s looked great but bloodwork came back with a 1:155 chance of Downs, still less than 1% but higher than the risk for my age which is 1:300).  She discussed the results and my options and I'm feeling confident that this baby does not have Downs but should it, we will accept it.  I don't think I'll be doing any further testing but it wasn't a decision we had to make today.

Overall, a good appt.  I go back on the 14th for a regular OB appt and then we have our big u/s on the 28th!
