I had my fetal Echo on February 16. It was basically a longer, more zoomed in ultrasound. There were a few points where I could tell she's still a girl, which is nice, haha! The office that did it was my cardiologists office from when I first started getting checked for Marfans, which was a plus because I was familiar with the doctor who would be reviewing it. So far there are NO SIGNS of Marfans in or around Lyric's heart! He would like to recheck her when she is between 6 and 12 months old, and keep an eye on it until she is through puberty just to make sure that nothing changes, but so far, so good!
I went to my regular cardiologist on February 8th, and he more or less told me not to be surprised if I just have to schedule a C-section. I asked my OB what her thoughts were on that at my appointment on the 16th, and she said that if that is what the cardiologist thinks will be best, then we should do that. So I will be getting a note from the cardiologist next appointment stating that he feels a C-section is medically necessary, and I will be scheduling my C-section at my next OB visit! We get to pick a day that is within the week before my due date. So here is hoping I don't go into labor early and all goes well!
Everything else at the OB appointment was fine. My weight gain is on track, and her heartbeat was 152 :)
I will also have my gestational diabetes screening at my next appointment, which I am somewhat dreading. I have no real reason to expect bad results, but I am still hoping for a good one.
Until next time :)
