fetal echocardiagram today
Well people are different and if there is bad news to be had, personally I
like to know about it and have time to digest it and get used to it. Also, it might help for after the baby is born if there is something wrong so they can act accordingly. Good luck though!! -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... wrote in message ... I go in for my final fetal echocardiagram today.. Everything was fine in the 18 week check up but some things like coarctation are hard to see that early to I am having another fetal echocardiagram today. Since I have one child with a heart defect the chances of this child having a heart defect is 2.5 percent.. really not much.. still higher than my chances of have a baby with downs at the age of 36. I declined the triple screen (did not want the worry) and the amnio (did not want to risk M/C) so they want to do this echo today. No way I would have an abortion no matter what the results... But on Sunday I will have a "legally viable fetus". I'm at 23.5 weeks today. I have a feeling this is really mostly being done so the doctor can make money. I overheard him using the phrase "Cash Cow" as I walked past a meeting they were having in the lobby on October 1st. It had nothing to do with me but still it was not the nicest thing to hear a doctor talking about. I was not sure I was going to go at all but I forgot about the appointment until yesterday when they called to remind me so with no time to fret about it and a last minute ride set up with Para transit, I am going to go. It will be nice to see the baby if nothing else. S CHD Webring owner and Mom to M 6 years old (BAV, COA, 3 VSD, PDA, PVC's) Surgery at 2 weeks and 18 months THRIVING! |
