I had my NT scan on Thursday when I was 12 weeks and 3 days, all looked great and the kid was measuring 13 weeks. They did not adjust my due though I guess because it is still so close.
The scan was with my favorite scanner, did I mention that I did elective scans at 9 week/10 weeks because I was anxious and crazy? Anyway at the elective scan facility the scanner told me she worked at the OB office I go to and she hoped she would get to do my NT scan and God worked it out that it happened just as we both hoped. She is very patient and explained everything we were looking at. All measurements were fine, baby was sleeping and was not moving so she had me cough and pushed on my stomach and the kid started wiggling..
After the scan she led me to the OB's office for the visit.. She was really nice and thought I was a pretty easy going patient. So anyway I told her about my spitting issue, yes I have the gross excessive saliva thing in my pregnancy. *sigh* *expletive sigh*
Currently spitting in my trash can at my cubicle. I sooooooooooo hate this darn symptom. I told her that a month was too long for me to come back so she has me scheduled for Doppler 8/9th, then I go back 2 weeks for the anatomy scan? Not sure...then I go back for a level II scan? I wasn't paying too much attention, I was on cloud nine from a great NT scan. I am not completely out of the woods so I asked for the Harmony Test. It was at the end of the day but I was able to have my blood drawn and should hear back in 10 days...maybe less. The Harmony test is a genetic test that can detect abnormalities as well as tell the babies sex. For more details visit here http://www.ariosadx.com/
MFM Visit 7/28/2017
So I had to go back to the clinic the VERY next day. This was not fun nor my idea, this was to meet the MFM specialist and this was how they scheduled the appointment.
Dr. J asked me general questions, and told me why I was considered high risk. I am advanced maternal age & pregnant via IVF so I am an automatic candidate high risk patient..... YAY me ( being sarcastic....well kind of ). She asked me about the NT scans then went into the computer to
review the results. There was talk about if I did any genetic tests and if I would like amnio
to which I responded " I will not do any invasive testing" she then asked me if I used my own eggs and I said yes and I can see the slight judgment in her eyes. That's right I will not do it, am I the only woman over 35 that got pregnant and not wanting to do these invasive test?...NO then
be a peach and not bring it up again unless I ask. Overall she is a nice lady and just doing her job but I just didn't like the judgment in the eyes about the amnio question. After our talk and her notes she asked me to go to get an ultrasound, I am thinking she either has no faith or did it to see if the bub is ok. Anyway the babe had it's back turned and was facing my back, with a perfect heart beat. This scan was literally perhaps 2 minutes long, the tech said you just did NT yesterday and she wants heart tones we both kind of rolled our eyes... LOL . I didn't mind it as long as it doesn't hurt the kid.
