14 Week Appointment

Yesterday was my 14 week ultrasound. I had one done at 8 weeks and they were concerned because it looked like I had a cyst on my right ovary so this appt was just to follow up.

At today's ultrasound it confirmed that the cyst has quadrupled in size in the past 6 weeks. That's NOT good news! Doc said that she will do another u/s at 17 weeks and if it's bigger then she is going to have to operate.

I'm so scared that she is going to have to because of how fast it has already grown...what is going to make it slow down at this point.

Surgery is just an all around bad thing while pregnant. She said the drugs used to put me under could be harmful, the meds for afterwards & that it could also put me into pre-term labor. She had nothing good to say about it at all.

She also told me that there is nothing that I could do differently to make it slow down or even shrink. From the looks of it she said it looks malignant but she wouldn't be able to tell until it got confirmed.

The only shred of hope that I'm hanging onto is the fact that they can't define the outline of my ovary in the u/s. The did a regular ultrasound and a vaginal and got the same poor picture that isn't able to see the outline of it. However I do know that it's growing because last time the measurements were 2X2cm and now they are showing 10X8cm (around 4 inches). So no matter if they can see an outline or not it's def getting bigger.

It's just a total bummer no matter what. I'm just scared for the health of the baby...I don't care if they have to cut me open 100 times!!

Other then that we got some cute little pictures of our baby and the heart rate was 158.

I also lost 5 pounds so I am at pre-pregnancy weight which I am very proud of! I def feel bigger and my pre-preggo pants don't fit but I'm not gaining weight! I have plenty of weight to support this baby, lol.

Anyways - Onto the happy part! Pictures of our beautiful baby!!!


This one is my favorite!


You can see the baby's spine in this one.




This picture reminds me terribly of the Transformers logo.

See...



Not real sure what's going on in this one, lol.


So I have another appt on June 17th which they will do some blood work on. Then my next ultrasound the day after my birthday on June 24th! Even though it could be bad news I'm really excited to see if it's a boy or girl and they should be able to tell at that point cause I'll be 17 weeks!
