Appts. Today

So met with my endo. at the high risk unit -- same old same old... give me blood, monitor your sugars... take this much insulin if sugars hit this point....

Went to talk to my OB about the IPS results afterwards though.

My positive is based on the bloodwork component, my NT measurements were normal. My "big" u/s has gotten moved by a day to the 29th and has been changed to a level 2 ultrasound to give us a better look at little person. I was offered an amnio. but have declined it for now (I don't think I'd ever do it, but the option is there for me when/if I ever change my mind). I haven't gained any weight in the last month, and Dr. tried to listen for the heartbeat but couldn't find the baby today.

All in all, this would normally stress me out, but I'm just trying to be ultra-calm mommy. My u/s is in 2 weeks -- and with the strong posibility of downs... I'm very much at a "what will be will be" place in life right now.

Still kinda sad that I have to wait an extra day for my gender look-see though

That is the best attitude to have though. I know my doctor couldnt find the heartbeat once and freaked on me. I had to go back 3 days later and if she didnt hear it then, she wanted an u/s. Sometimes they just play hide-n-seek.

At least they only moved it one day but I would not be happy with that! Ultra-calm mommy is best for the baby. I need to remind me of that too! Thanks for sharing this info. It gives me sense of not being alone!

I agree with the other ladies! I know it is hard not to worry. Coral is right! A calm Mama is the best Mama! I am practicing that one too.
