-Well, there was no tie breaker for team blue vs. team pink today...The baby was a polite little student during the ultrasound. It sat crisscross applesauce with BOTH hands in its lap, covering the "goods". We tried to get it to move and all it did was extend its legs, while keeping the ankles crossed the whole time. There are two schools of thought on this: 1.of course its a girl, she sat politely with her hands in her lap the whole time (my thought) OR 2.of course its a boy, he was scratching and playing down there the whole time (Larry's thought). Looks like we'll be waiting another month to find out.
-The placenta looks better this time, but the dr. can not completely rule out placenta previa yet....
-Dr. B did see a spot during the ultrasound that looks like a subchorionic hemorrhage. I dont know a lot about this, but from what I can tell it is when there is bleeding between the placenta and uterus. It sounds like the prognosis can vary based on the size of the bleeding spot, my age, an the baby's gestational age. It could end up being something that regresses and is no major concern. The other, more severe outcomes could be: the placenta stripping away from where it is attached, placenta abruption, or preterm labor. My doctor is sending me to a specialist at Atlanta Perinatal to have a 2nd set of eyes check it out. I will find out when my appointment will be tomorrow, but most likely it will be next week.
I am on bed rest at least until I see the specialist and hear what he has to say....so, I will live the life of a "kept" woman at least one more week. :)
