Today I'm thinking about ultrasounds. Since the first pregnancy I've had 21 of the things so I'm getting to be quite the expert. But are the people that are doing them?
I've had early scans with the last 3 pregnancies, and I'm having another one on Thursday. With Ollie they detected a subchronic hematoma, but they said everything should be ok if I took it easy and rested. That was at about 6 weeks, two weeks later I miscarried.
With Sophie the 6 week scan was perfect. Then at her 18 week scan she was a week and a half smaller than she should have been. Then at 24 weeks she was 6 weeks smaller than she should have been. 15 scans later and she was staying 6 weeks behind. She was born at a normal healthy weight, even though the last scan was a day before she was delivered.
With George, everything seemed ok. Except that the measurements put my dates back by a week, even though that was impossible. 6 weeks later... you know what happened.
So what can I really expect at this scan? If things look good that's no indication that it will be ok.
