participant in the OTIS study at UC-. I had a sonogram last week. The baby

is the size of a lime and has a heartbeat of 174 beats per minute, which the OB

says is perfect. My next sonogram is April 11th for the Down Syndrome test (no

amnio -- now it is a blood test and sonogram measurement) and hopefully, we'll

find out if it is a boy or a girl.

,

Â Â Â That is great news! The medication you're taking will not harm the

baby?Â Â But I'm glad you are feeling great.Â

Â Â Â Â I hope you can find out the sex of the baby.Â Is this your first

child?Â

Good luck & best wishes
