Biophysical US @ 33 weeks

Posted on June 8, 2011 by William 1 Comment

Last Friday we had our second biophysical ultrasound and non-stress test. As it turns out Friday afternoon is not a good day for appointments. Wow, was it busy. The nurse came by after about 15 minutes, looked at Evan’s non-stress results, said it looked great but she wanted to get 8 more minutes of data. 25+ minutes later they unhooked Sarah from the machine. We went over to the ultrasound area and waited some more. The ultrasound was pretty standard, it’s always great to see him. They didn’t see any issues.

I am really excited for our next U of M appointment this Friday. They are going to look at his heart again and see how it’s doing but what I am most interested in are his measurements. It has been several weeks now since we have heard anything about his size and we’re anxious to hear.

The surgeon says, the bigger the better. I think this will play a large role in the delivery. We’ve got some logistics to figure out still. Do we “move” to Ann Arbor early and wait it out? Do we schedule it and induce? Do we wait for labor and drive the 1.5 hours to Ann Arbor (OB’s suggestion)? I think the exams and ultrasounds the last 2-3 weeks will help us make that decision. We would prefer to let it happen naturally but if he’s already a really good size (which at last look was looking good) then maybe it would make more sense to induce for logistical proposes.
