I had the appointment this morning! My mom was there with me! They just did another ultrasound and the specialist feels pretty good about everything! Praise God!!
Basically, Lily is growing well (in the 50th percentile for weight and length) and has all of her limbs, digits and facial features! They are all developed and fine! He can't tell me, for sure, that it is Amniotic Band Syndrome. It might be intrauterine cylia (can't remember the exact name, could be wrong about that lable) that is basically just benign abrasions on my uterus... like scar tissue that is showing up on the screen like amniotic bands! There is only one and it is pretty obvious, up by her head. But I will go back in 4 weeks for another ultrasound and check for growth and/or entanglement! The doctor said to be "Cautiously Optimistic"! We left the office feeling much more comfortable and confident than we did walking into it... so that is a blessing in it's self! He just told me to watch for leaking and/or rupture of my amniotic fluid/sac and that the next appointment should clear it up for us even more!!
I also have some extra craziness going on with my placenta! I basically have an extra lobe. There is placenta in its normal position and then there is an extra piece of placenta (still attached) down below! Which is why Lily always seems to have her face in my placenta... since either way she turns her head, there it is!! ((She is still breech by the way!)) This isn't causing any problems with the pregnancy. It's not placenta previa or placenta versa!! The only thing is that I have to make sure that I deliver allll of the placenta after birth!!
Thank you all sooo much for your prayers and well wishes over the past month! I know this is very close to some of your hearts and it means so much to have all of your support! But thank God it looks like everything is going to be ok:):)
