Hey thanks Aaron for posting my update from the doctor I really appreciate it! And thanks to everyone who supported me when I thought it was all over. I never knew HCG went down and I just don't know why my doctor did that blood work! Regardless everything is okay and I feel a huge sense of relief.
So I went to a high risk doctor's office yesterday for my ultrasound because from my last ultrasound it said I had a bicornuate uterus. The last tech said she couldn't say how mild or severe it was because she didn't focus in looking at that. She focused on the baby and that was all. It seemed to be mild though. So this new place I went to was awesome. Everything they had was super high tech and while they looked at the baby on their screen I had my OWN screen to look at. Talk about cool. The second they pulled up the baby I could see the heartrate and was sooooo relieved. Heartrate was 169 bpm. So awesome. Cupcake was curled up in a ball and the tech couldn't get a good measurement. She then had my cough and jump up and down. When she looked again the baby was moving all over the place. So neat! After she did all the measurements she looked at my uterus. Definitely still biconuate and she said the doctor would explain more about it.
After the tech was done the doctor came in. I.Love.Her. Omg seriously smartest and nicest doctor ever. She said my uterus was definitely separated down the middle. It is not separated into two but it's more than a mild case. I asked if this put my at high risk and she said it put me at risk. She said she wants to monitor the babies growth, check my cervix etc on a monthly basis to make sure I do not go into preterm labor, which is the main effect of the uterus problem. I will see her once a month and my regular OB. So basically every 2 weeks I am going to see someone, OB every 2 weeks, High risk every 2 weeks etc. Also every time I see the high risk doctor I get an ultrasound.
Woooooooo! How awesome is that. My next one is October 12th and I will be almost 16 weeks. They might even see the sex then
The tech who did my ultrasound did the NT scan and said she had to do it for records but she wouldn't say anything to me since I asked not to do it. Well the doctor came in and said the NT scan was great any way! Lol. She said that the main two markers she looks for are the fluid behind the neck which she said was perfect and for a bone in the babies nose, which mine had. If there was a lot of fluid and no bone these are markers for down's. So woo!
That was really it my next OB appointment is this Friday and I will from now on alternating between two doctors every 2 weeks. Thank you again for your kind words when I went crazy and thought it was all over.
Also say hi to cupcake, measuring almost 12 weeks
