A Morning at the Peri’s Office October 12, 2006

I had another appointment with the perinatologist today. I have to admit I was nervous. It didn’t help that the doctor was running an hour and a half behind so I had extra time to worry about things not going well. Things did go well, however.

My placenta is still low lying, but it’s moved up almost 3cm and is now 3.9cm away from my cervix. The echogenic focus on the little guy’s heart is still there, but it’s smaller than last time so the peri thinks it will end up resolving itself. Growth looks good, and he’s estimated to weigh 1lb, 13oz right now. My cervix still looks good at 3.5cm. All in all, it was a very good appointment. I think I audibly exhaled as I left the building. I go back to see the peri in 5 weeks.

Amanda that’s awesome! I am so glad you’ve continued to have good news! It must be so afraid to be happy — after so much loss. One day I hope, you’ll let all the breathe you are holding back, when you hold your precious one in your arms!
