Got good news today.  We saw a different perinatologist in the same group and he couldn't find ANY holes in the baby's heart except the one that is in EVERY baby's heart (it closes at birth).  Of course, "junior" was not very cooperative, so he couldn't be 100% sure about the upper hole.  They also couldn't find any evidence of a placenta previa as we had feared.  It's low-lying and posterior, but not a previa.

Baby was also breech this time when he was head down last month.  He's an active little guy, so who knows what he'll be doing next time.  We are so relieved at this good news!  (PTL!)

Wow!  Congrats, that's GREAT news!  Will you still have to start the non-stress so early?  Either way, as long as he's healthy it will all be worth it.  I'm sure you guys feel so much better!

I'll still have to do the NST's because of the single umbilical artery and my age, but that's not a big deal.  It's actually nice to have some quiet time in a recliner with just my DH to keep me company.

[cminamyer]

Yeah it does sound relaxing, you have 3 older ones right... I'll have to go and do my NST's alone because DH will have to stay home with our 2 year old.  But as long as this baby is born healthy I don't mind one bit.

HI girls!  Do you mind it I join in?  I am due the 25th of April and I'm having a boy.  I read your posts about the glucose screening. I had mine last week and I failed!  I couldn't believe it.  So I go back tomorrow for the 3 hour test.  I hope I pass.

Right now my baby is breech too.  From what I've read they can move up to 32 weeks.  I hope he turns around but it has to be more comfortable then being upside down..LOL.  I feel his kicks really low...way under my belly button.  

I didn't know we had to take a stress test...does everybody do that?  I feel so out of breath after I eat and I was sick (bad gag reflex) but that has subsided for the most part.  I was high risk in the beginning.  I had 3 m/cs so they watched me closely.

When are you guys due?  

[Glenda306]

Welcome and glad to meet you!  You're due right after me (4/23 +/- 1d) and I'm also having a boy.  Did you fast before the glucose test?  My OB says it's a NON-fasting test, BUT if you a big meal or a lot of carbs before it, it CAN affect the results.  Before your next one, be sure to eat a lot of protein and very few carbs.

My baby was head-down last month and was breech on Tues, but I think he was transverse last night.  They do move a lot!

Not everyone has to take non-stress tests (NST).  Most drs recommend them if you're over 35 OR if you have certain complications.  I fit into both categories since I'm 40, have a single umbilical artery, the baby was diagnosed with 2 holes in his heart (at least 1 hole has since been healed, so that's not the biggest issue now), AND I have 2 clotting disorders.  I'm sorry for your losses, I've had 2 m/c's as well.  I have also been blessed with 3 healthy kids (10, 8, & 4).
