OB Visit.....strange information

Everything went well at my OB visit. The babies looked good, and my OB told me they are growing at the same rate, which is good. At the end of my visit he took me into his office and told me he saw on my ultrasound reports that a 2 vessel cord was mentioned. I asked him what it meant and he said it could be that the third vessel just wasn't seen. Anyway, I have another ultrasound next week, so I'm hoping they will be able to settle this once and for all. All measurements of the baby involved are good, organs etc. I'm praying all is well. Of course I've read so much online and it really is upsetting....I need to stop the searching on that subject and trust my OB. I'm glad I'm informed though and I will have a few more questions for him at my next visit. Even if she only has two vessels, I don't think anything is wrong with her since there are no other indications of abnormalities or defects (so far). I'll watch the ultrasounds much closer now. One of the main things that has scared me, is the stillborn issue associated with 2 vessel cords. That will be one of the questions I ask my OB next visit.

26 Weeks

Last week went by so fast I can hardly remember it. Yeah, it was that eventful. I know I've been having migraines though. I'm just happy that I'm not feeling the full effects. I've been having the hangover headaches that come after a migraine. At least something is working to stop them. I'm so happy about that. If I had to go through my whole pregnancy having migraines, I would be more miserable than I already am. I know I could have more problems as I progress, but at least I know there will be an end in site, we can't stay pregnant forever.

25 Weeks

I can't believe I'm at 25 weeks with only 15 weeks left at the most. This week has been uneventful except for the good news about the two vessel cord. I'm so happy my OB told me that all the ultrasound reports state that both baby girls have three vessel umbilical cords. I did make a trip to Labor and Delivery because I was having a pushing pressure on my cervix all day so by the end of the day I decided to go in and have it checked out. I was monitored for awhile, but they couldn't get their heartbeats so they did an ultrasound to check them and all was fine. The doctor also checked my cervix and all was good with us. They sent us home and told me to take it easy for the next day or so and then I could return to normal activities. This happened on Halloween, so my kids Auntie took them to her place to go and trick-or-trick. At least they had a good time that night. Next Halloween will be better.
