So we had our weekly checkup today... Why is it that they ask you to arrive 15 minutes early yet they are always running half an hour late?
Met some interesting people in the waiting room which seemed to be over crowded. Harry certainly is a conversation starter that's for sure but it's not alway a good thing when the people who decide to converse are rather chatty but smell strongly of recently smoked cigarettes and booze which consequently make me feel like vomiting...
We had a different Dr today whom we have met before but not through the high risk clinic, she is lovely although her accent (Indian) makes communication a little difficult.
We talked about my fluid loss which there was a lot of yesterday, also we talked about the previous scan results again and it was said that there was fluid trapped in one of the vessels in baby b's brain which should hopefully resolve itself.
She mentioned that they checked that the nasal bone was present and it was so hopefully that rules out Trisomy 13 (downs syndrome) so that's nice to know. We will get the sonographer to check measurements etc as we are unable to have amniocentesis because there is no fluid.
The Dr decided that no action needs to be taken as far as my thyroid is concerned which is great and she ordered a urine test to make sure the infection has gone and bloods to check blood count and for wider infection. We also talked about getting a steroid injection at 24 weeks provided all is going well and that will help baby b with lung development but they won't do much other than that to help them till after 26-28 weeks!!! Geepers I really hope we make it that far!! They haven't given up on me yet so I am not going to give up on them!! :)
We saw our darlings on the scan again and baby a was wriggling away like crazy!!! Baby b was moving also and it's wee heart beat is still strong! Baby a even gave the scanner a good kick :)
As for me I had a rather restless sleep last night but woke at 7 feeling rather full of energy!
Hopefully we should have all results back by Friday and then another appointment next week.
So for now all is as well as can be expected and our babies are continuing to survive :)
Xx B&S
