Aug 5, 2009 - 7 Wks - First Scare & First Ultrasound

At 7 weeks, mom had signs of a threatened miscarriage. Luckily it was just a scare. Since her potassium was low, it may have been a reaction to that.

We did manage to get Jayden's first picture!

In looking back we wonder... was this our first glance at the CDH? Detecting CDH before the 2nd semester is practically unheard of. When the first ultrasound tech was looking at the scan, he stated he thought he saw a problem, only to have a more senior tech come in and dismiss it saying it was too early to see a problem with the fetus.

There is a large open spot right in the middle, and in what seems to be mid-torso what might be a somewhat hollow spot as well... what did this mean? Did it mean anything? Questions with no answers....
