So, as you can see, I've made it successfully to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
No... that is not a nipple, that is actually a bruise from my Lovonox injections that I am on. I don't know why I have to explain that I wouldn't post nipples on the internet, but thats besides the point.
I am excitedly awaiting enterence of second trimester! Woohoo! The risk goes down a bit, because most of my losses have been first trimester, but I will still walk on eggshells until after 24 weeks and the fetal echo is done.
I'm still very sick, and have been struggling with all day sickness, but preggo pops help! They really are the only thing that helps! I don't know what is in them, but they are miracles!
As you know, I'm insistent. I fought with the doctor on MaterniT21, and ended up getting the test, because its a blood test, and the risks were warranting the test.
So, today, I had the NT Scan which is the test that looks for down syndrome in the baby. Hopefully everything with that, and the MaterniT21 comes back normal.
Anyway, here are the photos from the NT Scan...
As far as the ultrasound goes, the baby wasn't really being cooperative.
He/She was laying face down, spine upward, and was sleeping because he/she wouldn't move at all. The ultrasound tech said baby was being lazy. We poked and prodded and I laughed and coughed and baby wouldn't move. Heart rate was 156bpm and baby measured 12 weeks 3 days even though I am 13 weeks here.
NT scan showed nuchal fold of 2mm, which is negative for downs per ultrasound, but we got the NIPT MaterniT21 just to be 100% sure.
My next appointment is on 1/19, but I will have a surprise 3D 4D Ultrasound Reveal for my sister Felicia, when she comes up for Christmas, which will be on 12/29 :) I will update/post photos from that visit!
Also, here is my 13 week photo, since I am so close ;) Can you tell I'm excited?
