Last Tuesday I had another doctor's appointment and ultrasound update. The past few weeks, I was feeling poorly with a stomach bug followed by a bad cold. I was extremely tired, and that week or two stretch kicked my butt. I was starting to feel well right before my visit with the doctor, but I had a concern with a lack of movement with the baby and weight loss. Mike and I were both anxious to get the ultrasound done and see the doctor to calm both of our nerves. Around 18 weeks, I consistently felt flutters at night, but they seemed to not occur after 20 weeks. After all of that, we are happy to say that it was a great visit. The baby was in a different position(head down) than our 18th week ultrasound which could be the reason for the lack of movement. Also, it is quite normal not to feel the baby until 20-26 weeks.The tech was able to get some profile shots. This is the first time seeing the baby's profile and it, was surreal and beautiful!
Baby Gender: Boy!
Baby heartrate: 147bpm
Baby Weight: 16 oz ( 1 lbs)
Baby Length: Somewhere around 11 1/2- 12 inches from toe to head, about the length of a banana
Everything was normal!! Yeah!! New experiences or a lack of new experiences can be nerve racking, but thankfully for no reason. I am just a momma-to-be that loves her baby so much already!
