I saw the OB today and got great news: I passed the IPS screening and do NOT have to go for amnio. I am so relieved. I understand that IPS does not catch everything as it looks at risk for very specific issues. There is always a possibility that something was missed and I have a false negative. But I'm going to consider myself as falling into the true negative category and be happy and content with that.
Baby was fine today. A little quiet all day but the heart was fine. The OB had no trouble finding it at all today. The h/b was at 151 today so pretty consistent with Friday and about 5 weeks ago when I saw the NP. I go back in 4 weeks and at that point will get a requisition for thyroid testing and the glucose tolerance test. Yuck! I always get sick when I have to do a 2 hour GTT so I'm not looking forward to having to take a day off just for this test, again.
In the off chance that the tech wasn't able to get the measurements she needed at Friday's scan I will get a call in a couple weeks to go back for another try. I won't mind getting another peek but I'm still convinced I've got a bit of a stinker in here and I'll still need a specific gender determination scan. I'm still seriously considering it, though. The worst I can do is make an appointment and cancel it because I have another diagnostic before that.
Other than that, nothing new. I'm feeling more activity overall and it mostly feels like popping bubbles or popping corn in the popper. Best way I can describe it. Baby was pretty quiet today, as I mentioned above, but there were a few movements I could feel.
I'm off to deal with the garbage and pack for an overnight business trip. My flights back had better get me home because I'm set to head out on another flight Thursday for a girls' long weekend trip in the States. Fingers crossed I don't run into any problems or I'll be really, really angry.
