Hi All,
Well I finally got to my ob appointment yesterday and I was so nervous walking ing although I knew that it was not the day the i was going to find anything out really.
As soon as I walked in she said the DH and I that she was really sorry to her the out come of our last ultrrasound and said that all she could really do is explain a few different things and give me another ultrasound in her room, but as she only has one of the small, old machines it wouldn't be detailed and tell us anything besides if babys heart is still beating and also she wanted to measure the fluid around baby.
So we were talking for what seemed like ages and i think probably was about 30-40 mins. she just explained that next Wednesday when I have the big ultrasound I will be told there and then exactly what they find as a ob will be doing it.
If it still looks as though the babys legs aren't in the postion or the size they should be for a 15wk bub and she can't see any noticable cause for the problem they will do an amnio while I'm there.
The one and only reason they will not do an amnio is if they find the baby has spina binfida (spelling?)
if thats the case they will advise a termination to be done asap. (but also did say that it is definately our decision which was we go).

If the amnio is done is will take 12 days before we get a result (which falls exactly on 22nd dec - my beautiful son's 2nd birthday).
Once we get the results it will decide what happens next, if its a chromosonal problem, some sort of syndrome that is well know about or worse case something dr's haven't seen or heard of before.

Dr also went through what will happen if its not a major disability that when I'm closer to delivering bub they will send us down to the Childrens Hospital and see a heap of specialist to explain to us the different procedures and operations that baby will be having.

On the other hand the Ob explained that there may be organ failure or damaged depending on how high up that baby has abnormalities from.
She also went through the whole procedure of what will happen in a termination needs to be done and I couldn't and still can't believe it..... she went into a lot of detail and I ended up a complete mess and although I'm glad she went through it I'm a bit shocked and can't beleive there is so many poor women that go through it so often.....

Anyways off that topic as I don't want to get upset... need to stay positive.

We had the ultrasound (small one) done as she explained, and babys heart was beating away :-)
Fluid around bubs was all good, and surprisingly to all of us the baby did a few big kicks ---- YAY, that was the best thing cause at the 12wks scan when they found the probs they said that bubs wasnt kicking and that was more then likely because it couldn't use its legs.
So that was a bit of light for us, although the ob did say that she could see that the legs were curled up and looked to be small for bubs age and compared to the length of its arms.
But once again kept saying that she couldn't measure or get a clear pic cause of her machine.

So we left the appointment pretty much just saying that she'll be in contact will me next week after the big scan to discuss what the outcome is....

Only 6 more sleeps to go!

Thanks everyone
:-)
