We went to see the specialist today and he did an ultrasound. All looks well with the baby, but as of right now they still could not tell for sure whether it is a boy or girl. So the mystery still awaits! It is on track for its age though and the heart was beating at 158 BPM today. What a strong little baby!
We will go back to see Dr Robertson again on June 20. They continue to watch everything closely. They checked my cervix today to see if it showed any signs of weakness as that could have been why Libby was early. But all looked good with that today. In a couple weeks they are going to check everything again. They may put me on progesterone shots starting at 18 weeks to prevent pre-term labor.
Hopefully we will find out the sex at the next appointment. We want to know! Jim is convinced it is a girl! Only time will tell.
On another note, I broke down last Friday and went on Zofran. The nausea was becoming unbearable for me. I could not eat anything and feel better and not eating made it worse! So the doctor assured me that it was perfectly safe. So I am now a twice a day user of this magical pill! It is incredible how different I feel. I can actually enjoy food. I still get slightly queasy with certain foods, or if I go too long without eating, but I am definitely 90% better than I was before. The only downfall, is it does cause constipation. So I am taking Colace as well! But hopefully this too will end in a few weeks!
