hey guys!
i will post this in both the ttc and preg forums as i am really at a loss as how or what to feel right now and i guess i am reaching out for ANYTHING that may put my mind at ease.
I went for my 19 week ultrasound today and all seemed to be going well and then i just got that sinking feeling that there was something but i just put it down to more of my paranoia, esp after this weekend re: movements etc. He spent a LONG time looking at the blood flow parts, much longer than i can remember ion any ultrasound with my kids before and then he asked me to clean myself up and sit up and he said that he had not noticed the baby moving much at all (same for me) and there was a heartbeat which was a start and he was going to speak to someone higher and show them the pictures from my scan. next thing another radiologist comes in and asks if he can look and says they have concerns re: a atery and the heartbeat showed up different in 2 measurememnts of it and they said it was looking a little fast (which is what they said at my 17 week ultrasound) By this stage i am a mess and he said he could see little movement now but not much but there was still the heartbeat. he asked about my previous loss and said that bubs is measuring about 5 days behind which is'nt necessarily a concern but they want me to go for a 10 min walk and then see if the baby has moved so they can get a closer look at the heart from the top. So i do that come back and the baby has moved around and the original guy said the heart was looking fine and when i asked what atery they were talking about he said it was something to do with having just 2 in the umblical cord and not 3 which can be a problem if there was only one kidney but this baby has 2. He said based on my last loss at this time the "markers" were a concern whereas in someone who had'nt had a loss may not be seen that way. He said a loss at 18 weeks was abnormal and he rang my OB who was'nt in his office and said they would make my results a priority and my OBs office should have them in 40 mins. So i am now waiting to hear from my Ob and the sonographer at the hospital has said they have noted that i should be referred onto a sonographer who deals with pregnancy only and therefore more expertise but ultimately it is up to the care of my OB and me to make the decision. So...what do we make of everythign and what the hell does a fast heartbeat mean?????????? Or only 2 ateries?
I cannot go through this again and just don't know what to do right now.
give me anything you have guys, i need all advice i can get.
