QUESTION
Dear Midwife,
I would really appreciate a response, as I am worried about the following issue: I am 25 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I was 174 pounds and 5' 7.5" tall prior to becoming pregnant. I expected to be larger than in previous pregnancies and I expected to show sooner. I wasn't prepared for what I currently face, however.Does a 2 Vessel Umbillical Cord Signal Problems?
QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I am 23 weeks pregnant with my son and they just found out he has a 2 vessel rather than 3 vessel umbilical cord. We are worried but were told not to be too worried. My AFP results came back normal and he is measuring on target.The baby Has No Stomach?
QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I hope you will be able to shed some light. Yesterday I had my Level II Ultrasound. Everything supposedly looked good according to my doctor except that he said that the technician was unable to get a view of the baby's stomach. I never heard about this before. My doctor did not appear too worried because he said that my fluid levels were normal. Have you ever heard of a fetus developing without a stomach?Ultrasound Found Rim of Fluid Around Head
QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
At the 12-week ultrasound, the tech / midwife found swelling around the head, like a outer rim of fluid around the head. She said vaguely this is usually sign of chromosomal problems, but we must wait 2 weeks more for doctors and an amniocentesis. What exactly could be wrong? Can this be something that just looks strange now?Thanks for any help!
NancyWhy Should I Have a Level II Ultrasound?
QUESTION
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I am 37 years old and 17-weeks pregnant. My doctor has asked me if I want to schedule a level II ultrasound instead of a regular ultrasound at 20 weeks. He says it is usually recommended for expectant mothers my age.I have indicated to him that aborting the pregnancy if something is abnormal is not an option for me. I also indicated that I do not wish to have any tests for which there is no other action/advantage that can result from the information. Based on my information can you outline any advantages for me taking the Level II Ultrasound?
