Baby Wood v2.0 12wk update

Posted by Cara | Filed under

Yesterday was my 12week appointment with Dr Dullye. If you are keeping track, then you know that I am really 13w pregnant as of this past Tuesday. I had to wait for an appointment with the ultrasound tech for the first trimester genetic screening, so that's the reason for the one week overdue appointment. Miguel wasn't able to come to the appointment because of work, so I went alone.

The ultrasound was great. The little one was moving around and his/her heartrate was 165bpm. He/she was a bit uncooperative and would not turn in the correct direction and tried to fall asleep a few times, so I had to move around a bit and cough to wake him/her up. I met with Dr Dullye afterwards and had my blood drawn for the genetic screening. The only cause for concern is the placenta is lying low on my cervix, which we will continue to monitor via ultrasound and hope that the placenta moves up in the uterus as the uterus grows. Dr Dullye said the majority of placenta previa seen this early will resolve and cause no issues, so I am praying that is the case for us as well.

I have a few ultrasound photos, but I am not motivated right now to get out the scanner, connect it and scan them in...I will do it in the next day or so.
