This is a pregnancy post, feel free to skip it if you wish. It's a quick update on my uterine inhabitant.
Since I am not feeling particularly eloquent, allow me to do the bullet point post.
* Today was our nuchal translucency screening, it was normal!!!!!! I had the accompanying blood work but I have to wait a few days for the results. The two diagnostic tests should give us an 80(ish) percentage accuracy rate of whether or not the bub has downs or other trisomy issues. A normal screen is a good indicator that everything will be okay. (please, please, please).
*I have my second round of diagnostic blood work in 4 weeks, together, the three diagnostic screens will give us over a 90% accuracy rate of whether or not the babe is at risk.
*In 9 days I will be at the start of my SECOND trimester, holy crap!
*After those 9 days, I may start telling more people.
*I gained two pounds but I think it is because I was wearing more clothing and boots this time!
*My mfm doctor reviewed my surgical records and she thinks I can have a vaginal birth. My uterus was not cut through when my fibroid was removed and she sees no reason why I can't. She plans to consult with my surgeon since we were told I have to have a c-section.
*It looks like the fibroid I have is shrinking. Take that, douche bag!
I still can't believe this is happening. I hate the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. I hope the bad stuff is behind us.
Oh yes! I have been waiting for your pregnancy posts! Congrats on the NT and the good news! Yipee!
ReplyDeletejust yesterday i was hanging out washing thinking i was sure that you must be having your NT scan this week...and i was right! i am over the moon that everything was normal. and don't worry about the bloodwork, that too will be fine, i am sure.
ReplyDeletei can't believe that you're almost into your second trimester...this is so exciting!
that's good news about the vaginal birth...though having a planned c-section does have its advantages. if you have any questions about it, you can email me if you like.
such a lovely post :D
i am so happy for you! hoping everything goes your way
ReplyDeletexoxo
every week that feeling should get better and better. hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAY for an awesome NT!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear your mfm thinks you can have a vaginal birth. My RE said the same thing to me about a C-section being needed after my surgery but, while they cut deep for the fibroid, it wasn't all the way through. So, it would be nice to hear it is possible...
So excited you're almost in your second trimester!!
Woohooo for a normal NT scan! I'm sure everything will come out fine. Sounds like you're starting to feel a bit more at ease...that's good! What was involved with the NT scan? I will be having one in 4 weeks! eeeek! I'm with you! I still can't believe this is happening. :)
ReplyDeletethis post made my day!! i'm so happy you are where you are :) bring it, 2T!
