Maternal Fetal Ultrasound Appointment
Today we had a visit to the maternal fetal medicine department to have a checkup on the babies growth and the level of fluid each baby has in the sack. The babies all measured around 2 pounds each. The ultrasound revealed that Miles has little to no measurable fluid. They also discovered Lilly is low on fluid as well, although not as low as Miles. The doctors don't seem to be too concerned about the lack of fluid. Dr. Major explained that each day the risks associated with pre-mature labor decrease. At some point, generally around 34 weeks the risks have decreased to a point where they are equal to or less than the risk of Crystal carrying the babies with ruptured membranes. We continue to play a waiting game and are hoping the babies stay in their mommy for a while longer.
