The results are in.....

So, as the title suggests - the results are in from the ultrasound on Friday :) Baby is developing well! The diameter of our little one's head is in the 84th percentile (which is FINE by me LOL, any bigger and I'd be worried!) The measurements from the ultrasound put me at 19 weeks and 4 days, when I was positive I was 18 weeks, 4 days - not that it's a big difference, but it would move my estimated due date up to April 13 and I would be 20 weeks, instead of 19 today. My doctor said he isn't going to change my due date, we'll stick with the 21st - because the measurements are just for approximations. He did say that a bigger baby will tend to make it's escape a little earlier than expected, but not to count on it!

Other than that, my placenta is lying a little low - nothing to worry about, again, the doctor said that as my uterus expands, it generally takes the placenta with it. So a low lying placenta will move up - they'll check again around 30 weeks. If by chance it doesn't move, we'll need to start looking at a C-section to get our baby out.

The ultrasound tech didn't get a good enough look at the baby's face, so I have to go back in for a targeted ultrasound, where they'll just find the baby's face - it's a short ultrasound, so Rob won't be coming to this one.

At the appointment yesterday, the doctor did all the usual things, felt for my uterus to see how far up my abdomen it is, and he said we're 20cm, right on schedule (about 1cm ahead, which would correspond with the baby's measurements). He also brought out the Doppler, which is getting to be my favourite part of the appointments - but our little one was so active yesterday, he couldn't keep the heartbeat on the monitor for more than a second or two at a time before the baby decided to wiggle away! I knew I was feeling more movement yesterday!

Anyways, stay tuned for the 19 week update, which will come either later today or tomorrow :)
