Little update on us since it has been a while. I am having a girl, her name will be Liliana Jeanne. At the anatomy scan the doctors saw a two vessel umbilical cord and a calcium deposit in the baby's heart. My pregnancy is now considered high risk and we have appointments every 2 weeks alternating between my regular ob and the high risk maternal fetal medicine specialist. The MFM did an ultrasound last week and said there wasn't a calcium deposit, it is a piece of muscle in her heart that has no risks or abnormalities. Because of the umbilical cord though we will be going back for growth scans every 4 weeks and will have weekly checkups after 34 weeks. Her daddy and I have faith that we will have a happy, healthy little girl and we pray for everything to go smoothly.
I knew it was a low risk thing so we didn't want any testing unless the level 2 ultrasound showed complications. the level 2 ultrasound showed that it wasn't a deposit at all so I'm glad we had declined the testing
My cousin only had 2 umbilical veins when she was pregnant and baby was just fine....I'm sure yours will be healthy and happy as well
They seen a calcium deposit on my little girls heart when I was 20 weeks . I had a blood test done instead of amnio needle . My results came back normal/low risk
Well I'm officially high risk and the ultrasound went bad. They found a buble in or on the babies umbilical cord so I'm being sent straight over to a high risk specialist and I have to be on a heart monitor. Please pray my baby stays safe. My heart is breaking.
Any high risk pregnancy mamas here ? I'm still early in my pregnancy but since I'm high risk I have appointments every week sometimes two times a week I'm already over it 😩
kylers umbilical cord fell off in her first week. sweet.
Unnecessary intervention
I went to the high risk OB today for the first trimester screening. These same high risk OB's have seen me during my previous two pregnancies and conducted bi-weekly scans due to IUGR. However, this being baby #4, my regular OB said he didn't think it was necessary this time around unless they noticed the baby was small when they scan at their office every 4 weeks. I appreciate that because it gets to be a pain having so many appointments.
Dear Moms,

We are deeply saddened by her loss and are are keeping her in our hearts at this difficult time.

congratulations on having a girl. and mfm does good work. I hate when obs make big assumptions so things seem worse when they aren't
