This morning I went for an ultrasound to check my placenta, babies heart and overall growth.
The sonographer isn't allowed to give too much away but she informed me that my placenta was still quite low lying. If it is still low in 4 weeks I will be having an elective C-section. This will be confirmed with my doctor next week.
Below: Baby boy's face and fist punching me. He was lying transverse which Myles always did as well until the last couple of weeks.
At my last ultrasound we were told boy but it wasn't completely clear to me. The sonographer said she was glad she knew what we were having because it was very obvious as seen below. Most definitely another boy in there!
She didn't tell me anything about the growth, but the measurement results were shown in my pictures and I could figure them out quite easily.
I am currently 30 Weeks and 2 Days
Head circumference: 94th percentile/32 Weeks 4 days. This made me so happy as they were worried his head was measuring too small before.
Estimated Weight: 1.7kg or 3lbs 3oz, in the 88th percentile. At this rate I will be having a big baby!
Heart Rate: 144bpm as seen below.. perfect!
The lady started laughing near the end and said this boy was being stubborn. It seemed like he was twitching but she told me the movements was him practicing breathing and working out his chest muscles. So amazing!
I am very happy with these results but will wait until I see my doctor to get the rest of the results including my placenta location and if the heart opening has closed itself.
We are so excited to be having another son and are thankful he is happy and healthy, even if he is a bit cheeky :)
