Update on us.

Went to see the specialists on Monday and finally some very very good news. Bubs had a major growth spurt that the doctors were not expecting. They still did all the tests for dwarfism, which all came back fine. So now we are back to they don't really know whats going on. But they are fairly confident she doesnt have dwarfism and that her condition isnt fatal.

The options now consist of either IUGR (lol... back there again) or a rare genetic "syndrome", which according to the genetist could range from quite severe to virtually unnoticeable (basically she doesnt know either and is taking a bet each way)

They also took another look at her heart and although she still has a coarctation of the aorta, they were unable to see any other problems with her heart. Which means one surgery soon after birth and all should be well.

The blood flow to placenta and to the baby also looked quite good, so they have changed their minds about having to induce early and are now talking about me making it to term and going into labour naturally.

And last but not least they were all so happy with the results that I have been dropped down to ultrasounds every 3-4 weeks rather than weekly.

Given the news we were expecting to hear, my husband and I are over the moon. I feel like I can finally relax for the first time in months and start really preparing for the baby that will be here sooner than I think.
