Yellow Flag

March 5, 2009

Just back from my bi-weekly OB appt. My doctor is raising the "yellow" flag with a few concerns about the baby's growth. I'm still measuring about three weeks behind in size. I have to begin going for weekly appointments to have a BPP (bio physical) exam on the baby. They want to check her growth and make sure her heart is developing on track.

In addition, every four weeks I'll get another in depth ultrasound to measure the baby's growth. I'm perfectly happy to start getting more glimpses of our little girl, but I admit to being anxious about what it means to her health. I'm a little scared. I asked him if this could be brought on by extreme stress and he assured me that I'm being a good mother.
