This will be short but a little update on everything. I went to the Dr. yesterday for a routine non-stress test and an ultrasound to check fluid around the baby's. The non-stress test went great. Both baby's are moving and the heart rates are good. When I went in for my ultrasound as she was doing her scan she commented that she was just going to check the size of the baby's also. Well, a red flag went up in my mind and I knew she saw something she needed to look closer at. The scan ended up taking 45 mins. and then had to wait for my Dr. to read the results. Baby A is growing 20% less than Baby B. The last time I was in for a growth ultrasound there was only a 5% difference so they were not
concerned. Anywhere between 15 and 20% difference in growth is when they start to intervene. We will go back in this Friday for a 2 hour ultrasound with the fetal specialist to see why this is happening. We just pray that everything is fine and healthy and this is just the way they are. I did produce a 6lb 14oz baby and a 9lb baby with my last two pregnancies so maybe we have another Peyton and Ryan. I will keep you in touch when we know more.
Thinking of you and will pray for good news on Friday. I'm sure all is well, and the babies will be perfectly healthy - a big boy and a little girl!! :)
