I had my ultrasound yesterday to check baby's heart and cord insertion. Everything looks great and heartbeat 146bmp. His heart rate was the lowest since I recorded but it's good. Baby was just relaxing. We suspected he was sleeping. He didn't jump and bounce like the last time. The russian sonographer has a light hand and when she scan the transducer, the baby didn't budge at all.
For a quick overview, the technician did a 3d image of him. It is so amazing to finally see his features. We can't determine yet as to what features belong to us but he looks like a cute baby. Love at first sight.
On the sad news, the doctor is a bit concern on his fetal growth. His behind of 6 days compare to the 7 days he was the last 2 weeks. At least it's good that he didn't pass beyond 7 days. That's worrisome if it happens. His 12 oz which I am hoping he was much heavier. Doctor said that perhaps his just a small baby considering all his test come back normal. Still, recommended to do a Cell Free DNA test. I know it's going to be an extra cost but we will take it in. Wanted to make sure everything's fine. Just an assurance that his alright and we could prevent something. I also have to undergo an infection test to see if I was infected of something while I was carrying the baby. But I was perfectly fine throughout. I didn't have any fever but I have few slight colds but it wasn't that I could get concern about. I hope the tests will be all right. I believe in the power of positive thinking.
Somehow the baby's position now changed to a vertex. Thank goodness. Better than being breech. I was walking for the last 2 weeks hoping it could help him and somehow it helps. I will be continuing to walk for 30 minutes a day or if I have the energy to do it. I won't force my body to do it everyday. If I feel okay then I will do it. But at least I could do the walk 3 times a week.
For food tips, based on my readings. Protein helps for the growth of the fetus. I am observing I haven't eaten large portion of protein. Though it's part of my routine, I don't think I have enough protein to support me and the baby. From now on, I will be adding more meat. I have been lacking on eating veges too. At times, I just have my fruits and small veges on my smoothie but maybe it's not enough to help the growth of the baby. I will be doing some more shopping then tomorrow.
As for the baby movement, his been very active all day. His pattern did change somehow. A few days ago, middle of the night his awake. Poking me from side to side. He loves to push my bladder too that oftentimes I peed twice a night. I don't complain about it. This baby of mine just want to have some room. His intelligent enough to do it so I could get up and do my thing. His responsive to hubby's voice too. Hubby could hear bubbles every time he asked a question. We wish for our baby to be in a normal state and healthy as can be.
