The ultrasound went great! I'm 12 weeks and 1 day today and both babies measured 12 weeks and 6 days! Baby A's HB was 162 and Baby B's HB was 159. Both babies had perfect nuchal fold measurements - neither abnomarl. Baby B had a detectable nasal bone (no nasal bone at this stage could indicate a genetic defect). Baby A wouldn't give us a profile shot to see if there was a nasal bone. I also think baby B is our boy and baby A is our girl (remember we transferred a girl and a boy embryo).
Before I get into the photos, I got the letter from the MFM with next steps. They are:
- An ultrasound at 14 weeks (so we set one up for 5/11)
- An early gestational diabetes test (normally done around 25 weeks) at 14 weeks
- A steroid shot to develop the babies' lungs at 26 weeks "just in case"
- Switching from lovenox to heparin twice a day at 30 weeks
- A fetal nonstress test once per week beginning at 32 weeks
Without further ado, the photos....
