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.
