Pregnancy #6- Due March 2015, Delivered August 16, 2014 at 9 weeks
July 10ish- found out I was pregnant after multiple negative tests.
July 28ish- went to Dr. confirmed pregnancy, then did an ultrasound with no findings. Stated too early to confirm, but I knew I was 6-7 weeks. Returned a week later, after a intravaginal ultrasound, they discovered no baby began to develop....aka bilighted ovum.
August 16th, I miscarried at 9 weeks - no growth past 5.5 weeks
Pregnancy #7- Due July 22, 2015
November 8, 2014 - Home pregnancy confirmed at 3 weeks, 3 days.
November 26, 2014- Ultrasound at 6 weeks confirmed EDD 7/22/15
December 22, 2014- Ultrasound at 9weeks5days, not good, implications of problems. Dr. Guzman referred me to a Perinatologist for a more detailed look at the baby. He mentioned fluid on the baby.
I spent hours googling all the possibilities because I wanted to be inform when I went in for my appt.
December 26, 2014 (10 weeks)- Went to Scottsdale to see Dr. Kathleen Kaufman. The ultrasound indicated a 10mm cystic hygroma that extended down the baby's back. A hygroma often times indicated chromosomal abnormalities such as all the Trisomies (Down's, 18, 13, etc.) as well as Turner's Syndrome and other . She recommended that I get the non-invasive blood work done and wait for the results. I got my blood drawn at the office and now I wait 7-10 days.
January 9, 2015 (12 weeks)- We to Scottsdale for a follow-up ultrasound and to get the results of the blood work. The hygroma shrunk to 4.5mm, all the anatomy looks great (i.e. all 4 chambers of the heart are present, heartbeat was 165bpm, brain, stomach, kidneys, etc). The u/s tech also checked the gender and it's a GIRL also confirmed by the blood test. The blood test came back negative. YAY! All positive signs, but the Dr. said we are not 'out of the woods' yet.
January 16, 2015 (13.2 weeks)- Had an appointment with Dr. Guzman. He seemed very optimistic about my situation. Baby's heart rate 164bpm
January 21, 2015 (14 weeks) - Follow up ultrasound: Hygroma is 3.2mm. Heart rate: 159bpm. Heart ventricles look good, kidneys look good, limbs all there with 20 fingers and toes. Overall, baby looks great. Now we have to pray for all the fluid to go away and not accumulate in any other area.
January 23, 2015, Today, Shane gave me a priesthood blessing. Something I should have done at the beginning of this whole thing, but I guess however this experience has strengthen my relationship with my Heavenly Father and increased my faith immensely. I was blessed with surety and peace that this baby will be healthy and well as you and our family continues to be prayerful and faithful. Also with ongoing energy and increased patience to continue to be the mother that you have been and you hope to be. I am so grateful for a husband that is worthy to hold the priesthood and so blessed to have this knowledge.
