Between my doctor’s office and the genetic counselor I was able to get
an ultrasound at the high risk department and a consultation follow up with the
maternal and fetal medicine doctor who we love. Obviously we knew at 14 weeks
there wouldn’t be a whole lot for the ultrasound tech to see that might
indicate a soft marker of any issues but we needed some reassurance.
After the
ultrasound, which did not show anything of concern, we met with the doctor and
talked about options moving forward for testing. We also chatted about our emotional
health and how we were more or less “robbed” of that first pregnancy that was
all rainbows and butterflies. Although
she has never experienced any type of situation like this herself she’s
obviously been around a lot of women who have being a high risk doctor. It was
very nice to be able to talk to a doctor about real life thoughts and feelings
versus just medical procedures.
We decided that an appointment with an
ultrasound and amnio at just a few days after turning 15 weeks would be the
best choice moving forward. The amino would be the only thing that would give
me a piece of mind about the health of the baby.
