| Do problems appear *after* 20 weeks? Question ladies,
I have been having bad pains in my sides and lower back for over a week, and mentioned it on my regular visit to the doctor yesterday. At the time, he said the baby felt fine, was head down and in a good position and very big.
Today we go in for an emergency ultrasound to make sure things are ok, and the ultrasound tech won't tell us a thing. I am trying to figure out if his skull and brain measurements are normal and if he is ok and she keeps saying "I can't tell you that."
My question, since I am starting to freak out a little bit, is that we have already had two ultrasounds and a slew of blood work done. Since this is a high-risk pregnancy they have done extra testing since week 13, though we haven't had an ultrasound since week 20. If there was a serious problem or deformity they would have let us know before now wouldn't they? Deformities and other problems can't just crop up after 20 weeks - or can they? I'm so worried right now and we don't see our doctor again until next Wednesday.
I'm just trying to ease my mind a bit. Anyone have any advice? |
