So I had my NT today, but first had to run to my OB's office to grab the paperwork. Attached to the paperwork was the dating scan findings. The sac was behind by 2w2d at that appt...she also couldn't locate my left ovary. So, seeing this upset me a bit cuz that means there's now 2 scans confirming a sac behind by 2+wks. Ok, so I go downstairs to the clinic and am taken in within a minute or so. The woman was such a doll...so friendly and smiley. She took all her measurements then turned the screen so I could see baby. He was active and happy looking. He didn't look overly cramped in his little home but I figured I'd ask about it anyways. She flat out told me to ignore that. They don't even measure that at this point becuz results are easily skewed by angles and the fact that the sac isn't perfectly round etc. She said in her opinion everything looked normal. Idk if I just hear what I want, or what, but I believe her. I mean, there's a reason my OB only deals with this place and I trust him, so I should trust the ones he trusts, right?! Either way, it sure made me feel better. I asked if she could see a bleed, she said there's a small one but it looks like it's going away cuz it's not overly large or apparent. Makes sense since I'm down to brown spotting that I barely see in a liner now. Yay! Baby is measuring at 12w1d today, so I imagine my Dr will be changing my due date from the dating scan. The speed he's growing at, compared to my other monsters, I'm officially guessing boy! I'm never right! Seriously, 0 for 4...so it's probably a girl. A boy works with the baby pattern I seem to have, also. Boy, girl, boy, girl...boy? We'll see soon enough. I think I have an early anomaly for this one.
So there's my (unofficial) update! I will have an official official one next Tuesday. The wait isn't as scary now...even if she was just blowing smoke up my ass to calm my nerves. She really had no reason to tho. She knows nothing of my history and I wasn't a jittery mess. It is what it is! I will continue to enjoy every moment I have with this little one.
Hope ur all well! Best of luck to those waiting to pop. Be strong, be patient and most of all, stay positive! U got this!! =))

| Comment from sonata85 » Posted Dec. 5, 2018 11:11pm This is so much better. I honestly wonder if you got an inexperienced tech before this. I’ve had some wack measurements at the MFM clinic—said my 1st daughter was 4 pounds 2 ounces at 33 weeks but she was 3 pounds 14 ounces when delivered at 36 weeks. Gotta be hard for them to measure such tiny beings, but you don’t have the extra belly that I have to see through lol always in my prayers, Sandy and baby |
