Important matters first:
- Nuchal fold measured 2.5mm, which is within tolerance.
- My risk of Downs Syndrome is 1:759, half the normal risk for my age group. Awesome.
- We heard Spudly's heartbeat again, this time a more sedate 153bpm. Seems it didnt appreciate the full bladder on Tuesday. Well, neither did I!
- Crown to rump length is 7cm.
- Spudly is, officially, an excellent baby.
- Next scan is on 1 November.
Now to me:
- My blood pressure 130/80, normal for me.
- My chest is clear.
- The top of my uterus is now just under my belly button.
- My paranoia about no nausea, headaches, emotional retardedness, painful tummy, various body parts going into spasm, etc is all perfectly normal and can be blamed on the progesterone. Stupid progesterone.
- I have an extra thud in my heart, which is consistent with my mitral valve prolapse.
But apart from my dicky heart, which isnt really all that dicky, everything is Normal.
Fancy that.
What is this "normal" of which you speak?
A+++ for you and Spudly Panda~! :-P
ReplyDeleteHurrah for you and Spudly. Hope you will get to be at the birthing centre and there are no issues with your heart.
ReplyDeleteNormal is good for once :)
Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope everything goes well with the echo and that you will be on your way to the Birthing Centre soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of the scans, doofus!
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to contradict what "S" said. I hope you're nowhere NEAR on your way to a birthing centre soon. March will do just fine thanks!
Yay Well done to you both on such a good report card (mine always just said "must try harder"). Very good news.
ReplyDeletePanda, that's great news re Spudly! Good luck with the echocardiogram. I've had one of those and they're not fun but it will be good to know your heart is doing as well as the spudster.
ReplyDeleteGreat news sweetie. I hope it keeps going like this.
ReplyDeleteFab news.... and funnily.... I sent you the email about 'normal' before I read this post! See... even though we're in different phases of fertility... we can STILL share those weird little coincidences!
ReplyDeleteBig wet caribou kiss... MWAH!
Thanks for the lovely pic of Spudly, next time try to catch him/her making a peace sign, or perhaps something a little naughtier!
