JOURNAL But we're hungry!!posted on 07/25/2008 Just back from the OB and everything is fine. We got the results of our Quad Screen and thankfully everything came back perfect. In case you don't know, the Quad Screen is a prenatal test that measures the levels of four substances in a pregnant woman's blood. Typically, the quad screen is done between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy. Results of the quad screen indicate a risk of carrying a baby who has certain developmental or chromosomal conditions, such as spina bifida or Down syndrome. My blood pressure was 100/66 and the baby's heartbeat was right around 150 beats per minute. The only part that made me cringe was my weight...never a good thing...Up until last month I had only gained 1/2 pound total but I completely made up for it with a 10 (yes TEN) pound gain in the last 4 weeks!! Good news is I'm in a healthy range overall at 10.5 lbs and 5 months bad news is I gained it all at once! Now I have to be careful not to continue at 2 lbs a week or I'm gonna be huge... We go back August 13th for our big Ultrasound!! Can't wait to see the baby! |
