01-4-2009 - 16 Week Midwife Appointment Soooo HappyMy mood while writing this blog:
Soooo Happy



Just got back from my 16 week midwife appointment. Everything was fine, slight trace of protein in my urine but nothing to worry about. Blood pressure 90 over 60.

I got to hear baby's heartbeat again, she found it straight away and it was 150bmp, it made me cry, what an amazing sound. She said my womb is in the right place etc, everything looks totally normal.

We decided against the blood tests for spina bifada and the others, the midwife told us that because I'm in my 30's the test results could come back high and I could spend the rest of my pregnancy worrying that something was wrong with the baby and then it could come out perfectly healthy so we decided to let nature takes it's course and if there was something wrong we wouldn't love the baby any less.

I am so excited. I go to every appointment still fearing the worst and come out absolutely elated when I find out everything is fine. Only 4 weeks and 2 days until my 20 week scan now.

I've just booked Friday off work so I'll be having a nice long weekend - yippee!

Thank you for all your comments on my last blog, it's good to know so many of you share my views! Lots of love to you all. Helen xxx

Helen,

That is wonderful news! I am so excited that baby Hudson is doing so well. I can't believe you are almost half way there. I can't wait to see baby Hudson at 20 weeks. Much love~ xx

yay, wonderful news! i think i probably will have the blood tests, although not sure yet, and i've heard there's a high false positive rate. we are doing the nuchal folds u/s this fri, but beyond that i dont' know. i do not want an amnio as i think the m/c rate is too high, but again we'll have to see:) glad to hear everything is going so well!

momto4littleangelsn1ontheway - Wednesday, 1 Apr

Congrats :) That's awesome!

So good to always hear about your appointments going so well, and I commend you for not wanting to get tested. I felt the same way you did...why spend 20 weeks worrying about something I have no control over when I would love my baby no matter what. Can't wait to see your next ultrasound pic!
