Everything is ok!

Hi Everyone,

First of all thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers the past couple of weeks. I appreciate it more than you know. As you can imagine this was a tough morning for me.

We went to see a Fetal specialist to run some tests to detect any chromosome abnormalities. At our 1st apt., my OB felt that the NT (nuchal translucency) on the back of the baby's head was bigger than normal. Today, at the beginning of the specialist apt., they talked to us about diagnostic testing such as amnio and CVS if needed, but I didn't want to make any decision to have those tests until I saw the ultrasound. They did the ultrasound and during that they took many many measurements of the NT. The tech said that everything was measuring normal. Thank GOD!!!! I was so relieved. The Dr. then came in and double checked and again said everything was measuring normal. So he wants to see me again in 6 weeks to do anther US and they took some blood today and will use a formula from that and the measurements of the NT to determine the risk factor of the baby having a chromosome disorder. We should hear something within 2 weeks maybe sooner. But for now the US was normal. Heart rate was also normal - in the 160s.
