hardly reassuring. It was the shittiest scan I have ever had (& I’ve had a lot).
Cervix is fine, pretty much the same as with Jasper (35.9mm) & no funnelling.
UA dopplers were okay - left side was excellent, right side a little less good but nowhere near even ’starting to worry’.
Abnormalities - no obvious abnormalities. Good huh? Except I have no faith that she actually looked at the structures she claimed to, it was all over so quickly. She certainly didn’t measure anything in the brain or kidneys (maybe they only do this if the look abnormal?). Heart is definitely okay, we got an excellent view. While she said the cord insertion was normal she didn’t report on whether it had three vessels or mention placental position (I know it is high posterior from previous scans, but it is still pretty crap that she didn’t record it). Fluid levels were normal. Abdominal wall was normal, as was the spine but she didn’t spend much time looking at it.
Baby was in the weirdest position I’ve seen but was moving. They didn’t do nasal bone or nuchal thickness which they do at the FMC anomaly scan (god I wish we could afford to go back there*).
Growth - she measured BPD, HC, AC & FL. With the exception of femur length all were at the very bottom of normal - HC was below the 5% confidence interval, BPD on 5% and AC <10%. The FL was almost at median, oddly enough. Even when I take into account that my dates are four days behind theirs I’m very worried - the baby is between four & nine days behind.
I got no explanation or comment from the sonographer. I’ve called my midwife & consultant’s secretary & they are going to ask her to review the measurements, I don’t have another appointment until 24 weeks.
So there you go … can’t say it has done anything for my mental health & I don’t think I’ll be sharing the news anytime soon.
