:) I am happy to report that I have finally reached the stage where my doctor appointments are boring! They're still exciting to me in the fact that I get to see my three babies, but they're boring in the fact that I get the same news every time: you are doing great, babies look great, just keep resting.
I read a bunch of pregnancy blogs, and they all report on the length of their cervix. I have no idea what mine is, so I decided to ask the doctor to measure it. I knew it could be done with an ultrasound, so I wasn't worried about it hurting or anything. Boy was I wrong! He kept pushing soooo hard to get that measurement for what seemed like forever. Finally he said it's fine, at a 3.7. It could be higher, but he said he wasn't concerned at all so I'll take that.
Unfortunately, the ultrasound machine wasn't working too well that day so they pictures aren't the greatest. Don't ask me who is who, I have no idea. In fact, Michael and I are so confused on which is Baby B and which is Baby C that we stopped asking for clarification. My doctor and the ultrasound tech didn't agree on which baby was which, and as soon as he left the room she explained it to us, and said he also mixed up another triplet mom just that day. Hm...not exactly what I wanted to hear. But she confirmed that there are 2 boys and 1 girl, so as long as that isn't changing I guess it really doesn't matter. When they got to the girl I'm like, B or C? They each said something different. So who knows! But the babies look good, have continued to grow, and are almost a pound each.
Boring is good :) I'm so glad everything continues to go well!
ReplyDeleteYes, boring is good. Glad everyone is doing well.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Boring!! That is so weird about the confusion as to which baby is which!! They will need to sort that out though honey, as from now on we will start to see differences in weights. If they say one scan that B is actually C, then swap them for the next scan and there are significant differences in weights, then it can be a problem. 'Failure to grow' is one thing that they will pop you in for an early section. You don't want them to do that and bring them out early if in fact there isn't a failure to grow just because they got your babies mixed around! Hope that makes sense!! My OBs are doing internal cervix scans from now on, as they are more accurate, and they take all of 5 seconds - and no pressure. xxx
