10 Weeks with Quads
(May 9, 2008)
The Dr. Visit: We had our Second Perinatal (High risk pregnancy specialist) visit today. We had an ultrasound they measured the babies and the heart rates. The stats are as follows:
Baby A: Heart rates - 172 beats per minute (bpm), measures 3.67 cm (the size of an 10 week 4 day fetus)
Baby B: Heart rate - 170 bpm, measures 3.74 cm (the size of an 10 week 5 day fetus)
Baby C: Heart rate - 172 bpm, measures 3.53 cm (the size of an 10 week 4 day fetus)
Baby D: Heart rate - 181 bpm, measures 3.02 cm (the size of a 10 week fetus) - Still the little one.
The doctor was very positive and answered all of our questions. All of the baby's measured well, I was exactly 10 weeks today so most are big which is really good!!
It was very cool to see the babies today. Baby A is like big sister Alexis moving around alot. Baby C is hanging out upside down. We could see arms and legs, some of the baby's hiccupped. I could not keep straight who was who, good thing the Ultrasound tech knew what was going on.
We go back in 2 weeks for another appointment and will have an ultrasound at each one. It is the only way to tell if everyone is still hanging in there.
How I am feeling: I have been feeling pretty good. Less tired and not so nauseous, I am not super hungry but have been able to actually eat!! :) We are thinking positive and praying. Maybe I feel so good because our church started praying for us last Sunday.
Pictures: Here are ultrasound photos from today 5/9/08 at 10 weeks pregnant!! - They are staring to look like people!!
