So-Called "Fetal Echocardiogram"

It was another ultrasound. Undoubtedly with a much higher price tag. At least after 2 months of drama and phone calls, I am finally on Berto's Blue Cross Blue Shield HMO! Ok, so maybe there was a bit more focus on the heart this time than in the previous ultrasounds, but not a whole lot. And it didn't really seem like anything new was determined at all. Baby Rhina is still showing steady growth. She is measuring small, but within healthy range. The doctor asked what my size was when I was born saying that her size is likely in relation to mine. I didn't know the answer. I think I was smaller, but I couldn't quote a weight, so I had to text my mom. Apparently the doctors were worried about my size, but I was healthy, just small at 6lbs 1oz.
The good news about yesterday's fetal echocardiogram, is I'm done with these special appointments. I'll still have ultrasounds once a month to check her growth, but I can incorporate them into my regular doctor's appointments instead of the specialists at the fetal maternal medicine center in Hinsdale. The even better part, the 3D ultrasound pics!
