OB visit

Well...I had to see Dr. Unpleasant again this week because the other doc who was supposed to be there left for the day!! First of all, it looks like the kidney "issue" is resolving. Even upon resolution, Dr. Unpleasant made a point to remind us that it is a soft marker for chromosomal defect and the only way to know for sure is an amnio. Really? Are we doing this again? This time around I learned my lesson with her...don't ask questions!!! It sucks I had to come out of this appointment with unanswered questions...but I would rather it be that way then deal with her for longer then necessary. As for the cord insertion...well, little miss is still laying on her placenta so it's really hard to tell. The tech did get one good look and although it appears to be low, it is still completely in the placenta and not the membrane (a good thing!).

So onto the not so settling news... my cervix is a bit shorter then last week. Every week up until now it has been measuring 3-3.2cm in length. Today it was 2.7. Nothing too alarming, but they want to see me back next week. 24 weeks is usually the cut off for a cerclage. I still don't think we will need one, but next week will tell a bit more, at least I hope. So preterm labor STAY THE HELL AWAY!!!!

The other thing is her placenta is still a bit low...it just needs to come up a tiny bit more in order to have a safe vaginal delivery!! Fingers crossed.

Little Miss is 1.25 pounds and in the 54 percentile!! Yay baby Mirth!!!
