Paisley Updates

Heather - this one is just for you!! =) Thanks for being so faithful to check my blog!


So I went to my specialist on Tuesday and we got a little bit of a scare for a second. When I go to my appointments they do a very extensive ultrasound. So the ultrasound tech was doing the ultrasound and was scanning a ton of different things on Paisley but seemed to focus a lot on her cord and the cord insertion. Then she said that she was going to need to do a vaginal ultrasound. I got a little worried at this point because she was being very vague as to why she needed to do this. After both the ultrasounds were done my doctor came in and started to explain.

Apparently, Paisley's cord is attached to my uterus then goes into the placenta instead of going directly into the placenta. And the reason they did the vaginal ultrasound is make sure it wasn't attached down by my cervix. AND IT'S NOT! Praise Jesus! If it was attached down near my cervix the doctor said if I delivered her vaginally the cord would rip on her way out and I could bleed to death. WOW!! So you can see why we were a little scared.

The only thing the doctor said could be a factor now is that she might not grow as rapidly as she should by not getting the nutrients she needs through her cord. He said that she is growing wonderful as of now and she is in the 56% for weight and size. So that is great. I asked him worse case scenario, she doesn't grow like she is suppose to...what do we do then? And he said they would deliver her early. He wanted to see me in 6 weeks to check her again and make sure she is growing the way he wants.

So that's pretty much it. I'm fine - Paisley's fine!! Everything is GREAT! So no worries.

Be blessed!
