Ultrasound today!!!!!

[Pretty Butterfly]

Oooh, thanks Jodi!!!!

The only time they found anything else was when Harmonys twin sac was collapsing, but this was just a bleed. It looked like a dark blob in the uterus .... he said its fine, dont worry, bubba is all good... but Its on my mind anyway...

[maz]

YAY!!!!!!!! Im so happy to hear its all good hon!!!! bugger about no twin but then one of your others will do just nicely

[MantaRay]

Congratulations J, that is fantastic news.

[Kazmar]

Glad bubby is safe and well Of course the bleed will be on your mind, but try to relax Keep us updated!

[~mamaspice~]

Yay, congrats PB that's great news!

Could the bleed have been a sub-chorionic bleed? My friend had that and apparently it's fairly common and usually nothing to worry about.

[Nettie]

Yay! Well done Mum!

I assume either it's too early to see any clefting or they didn't see any...

[Nicambhar]

that's great news Jodie.. now you can relax and enjoy the remainder of the pg.

[Footsteps]

woo hoo...im so pleased for you. xxx

[Pretty Butterfly]

Oohh, forgot the clefting, sorry!!!!!

Couldn't see anything obvious, but he did remind me how early it is. But he also hinted that if it was a large clefting, (like Kanes), full lip, palate and up into the nose, he might of seen something already..... so quietly hopeful!!!!!!!

[Nettie]

..... so quietly hopeful!!!!!!!

[LimeSlice]

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy hun xo

[DoubleK]

congrats!!! so happy to hear you have a healthy little bubba in there!

can i ask what causes clefting?

[Pretty Butterfly]

Clefting..... sometimes heritary, but often not.

Is also associated with many syndromes too, like Pierre Robin Sequence or Down's. We have no family hisory of it, and have many children, so Kane was probably just a once off.
At 6-8 weeks, bubbas facial bones come together, (they are in two parts, down the middle), and in some cases, they dont join up correctly, leaving a cleft in the face. It can be just in the lip, palate and gum line. Kane had all 3, known as a Complete
Unilateral Cleft (one sided).

They say taking extra Folate can help, so I takle 5mg not .5 mg in each pregnancy.
