Week 29 Doppler Check-up
Hello to you all.
Today's exam went very quickly, once we got to the clinic. Michelle was our sonographer, who has been doing this work for thirteen years. She was the quickest operator to date and the exam lasted maybe five minutes.
The exam was primarily a doppler check. Xavier's blood flow looked good, but his ratios are above the 95 percentile this week. What this means is he is having to work a little harder against his placenta. Though this is in the high range, the doctor (Dr. Scott, a new face for us today, and one who seemed overly bubbly) did not think there is any danger to Xavier just yet and that the current twice-a-week checkups are still OK for now.
As for Xavier, he looks healthy. Blood flow in his brain is good. His bladder was full today. We even got to see his little backside. Also, his amniotic fluid level measured at 3.34 cm today! Glory to God!
Always, thank you for your prayers. They certainly are being answered in Xavier's life.
