Today we went to the pediatric cardiologist. Walking in today was sure scary. I was almost set on getting bad news. But, he was not able to see a heart defect. This is our 3rd normal fetal echo, and this means that I don't have to go back and see him again and Amir will have a cardiac ultrasound shortly after birth. I will have one more in 4 weeks with the maternal fetal specialist. There is such a high number of Trisomy 18 babies that do have heart defects I am very hopeful that we have avoided adding to the number.
Can someone please tell me what is so "incompatible with life" in my baby's situation? Because I am just not seeing it in my case.
This week my husband noticed how big my belly is getting. I just wish big belly meant big baby. Amir is still small but hopefully gains some much needed weight these next few weeks. 26 weeks 3 days pregnant today I see my OB in 2 weeks so may not have much to update on until then........
As always thoughts and prayers are appreciated.......
Praying for you!!!!! so happy you got good news on this visit!!!
