Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Hello all. We went in yesterday for our 21 week ultrasound and appointment. How amazing to be able to see everything so clearly! We have 2 arms, 2 legs, a complete spinal column, a pumping heart with all 4 chambers, stomach, kidneys and bladder all on video as well as fingers....all those little bones! Everything looks perfectly normal, according to my doctor, and my due date was only adjusted one day back. He said he likes it when the dates are that close consistently through the pregnancy. He didn't bring up the AFP test results, and I didn't ask because, well, if everything looks normal, why ask about a test that isn't all that great anyway? LOL, yes, I love to live in denial. I gained 5 lbs last month according to their scale. I HATE THEIR SCALE!! We also discussed the Gestational Diabetes test upcoming. I told him that I couldn't take the glucose test and requested the 2 hour post prandial. He said that the two hour test was not as accurate. I told him that due to the GBS, I couldn't do the 50 grams of glucose without passing out. At first he said, " well, let's try it and see what happens. " That's when my husband piped in with, " she can't do it, she gets very very sick off of just a touch of sugar. " So, my doctor agreed with us to try the 2 hour test and then said that if he didn't like the results we may have to do some fasting tests. Anyone know what those consist of, other than not eating? Thanks for letting me ramble! open rny 4/01 edd 2/4/05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
