We saw the Perinatologist yesterday. Everything seems to be going OK. Ruby's amniotic fluid is on the high end of normal, 17-22 was the range that we were given yesterday. 15 - 25 is considered normal, and anything above 40 requires medication or intervention. The intervention would be a therapeutic amnio to remove some of the fluid. Which would mean another very large scary needle stick for me. We go back in two weeks to check the fluid again. From what I understand it's not if her fluid will get to high it' s when.
Ruby is excelling at her kick counts every evening, and appears to growing right on track. Here is a picture from yesterday.
This is a picture from last week. It's a really good picture of her heart, stomach, and diaphram. The diaphram is the line seperating the upper and lower abdomen. This a view from the back. Niether of ua are docotors or sonographers this is the interprtation we remeber getting from the sonographer last week. Please don't ask what anything else is. If we know what it is I have labeled it. We thought it would be intersting to show our friends and family a more detailed picture.
Thank you for checking in on us. We really appreciate all the love and support.
Hello, Well done for having
Hello,
Well done for having gotten this far. I had polyhydramnios ( too much fluid) and the doctors had to drain 1.5l out. I was so relieved afterwards as by the end, I found it extremely difficult to sleep. It's an amazing sight seeing your belly shrink all of a sudden ;0). It doesn't hurt, so don't be scared.
All the best. We will continue to follow your blog and are hoping that everything continues to go well for you.
Hugs from the UK,
Ingrid, Alex & Alina
