We had our second detailed ultrasound today...which ended with us only getting a picture of her feet, but my girl has definitely been a stubborn one!
It also ended with ANOTHER round of bad news...
It was found that I only have two vessels in the umbilical cord which is called Single Umbilical Artery. This is another one of those 1 in 100 cases...so we now have hit TWO of them...One cause that could do with me is the fact that I could have been diabetic before getting prego, which can cause this problem, which lead my doc to check my sugar level once again. I had some blood drawn (which at the time I didn't know why...lol...someone just showed up and said "Hi i'm here to take a tube of blood...and I was like huh? lol I called my nurse to find out why...) It also means that I am back to getting my finger picked...just a couple of times for now though.
Tomorrow morning I am going for a Fetal Echo Cardiograph to see how her heart is functioning, since the two vessel coupled with the excessive fluid in my uterus can be a sign of heart issues. I guess it can be a sign of kidney issues to but they find her kidneys to be fine.
I am back on Indocin for a few days, this is to take down my fluid level in my uterus. However the indocin can cause the tiny hole in the baby's heart to close (patent ductus arteriosus). So after 48 of going on the drug they are going to repeat the cardiogram or do an ultrasound (I'm not sure I remember what they said for sure).
They also are going to do another ultrasound to check my cervix before i can even think of leaving. So this puts us in the hospital until Thursday at the least, but i'm guessing I will be here until Monday of next week :(
