We had our "big" ultrasound yesterday. Baby Parrish is 13 ounces, has a 3.2cm long left foot, and a heart rate of 150bpm. The brain cysts are still there, but the doctor isn't very concerned and thinks they will "resolve". They can be associated with Trisomy 18. She was more upset about me not getting a tetanus shot after my friend's dog bit me on Tuesday! The tech couldn't see the four chambers of the heart, so I'll go back at 28 weeks for another ultrasound.
I really wish I had kept a tally of all of my ultrasounds since starting on this infertility journey. It feels like it has to be in the 30s by now. And unfortunately, more have been trans-vaginally than abdominal. TMI?
I'm still getting headaches every night so she recommended I buy a hypoallergenic pillow and see if that helps. She doesn't think this is normal and says she could recommend me to a neurologist, but that they would charge $500 and tell me the exact same thing. I purchased the pillows this morning, so we shall see. Cross your fingers!
