Ultrasound Update: 28 weeks 6 days

Quick update. Ultrasound yesterday looked good! Blood flow still normal. Gestation was 28 weeks and 6 days yesterday. The baby's weight was estimated at 2lbs 14 oz which is a whole 12.5 ounces heavier than Liam born around the same time. His stomach was measuring a few days behind, but his head was measuring several days ahead and his legs were measuring a full week and half ahead of schedule! Long and slender I suppose :) I can feel him at both ends (left side and right side) already, must be his hands and his feet moving together.

So again the u/s is looking for drops in growth percentiles which would signify the placenta not giving him what he needs. Fortunately and gratefully, his % increased from the 46th a month ago to the 59th.

He is still transverse and shows no signs of turning head down (I know he still has time) so it's completely up in the air yet as to whether we can do VBAC or have a repeat c-section.

As always grateful for today, hopeful for tomorrow!
