A fetal echo is an ultrasound of just the baby's heart. They take pictures at all different angles to make sure that it is developing correctly.

It is really cool too!! They look at it and all the chambers to make sure blood is going in and coming out the way it is supposed to.

It is amazing to see

They only do the Fetal Echo's here if there is a family history of Heart conditions. There really isn't but with my sis's poor babies both having one because of her drinking, they would rather rule it out and be safe than sorry. I don't drink but I feel comfortable having it done.

A very small bit. Most of my problems are now my back, neck and shoulders. I go in for my Massage Therapy Assesment on Thursday afternoon as thats all that they are able to do for me, while being pregnant.

I am glad that my abdomen is feeling better thats for sure. I am just not sleeping well because I think I have a pinched nerve or something in my neck.

Thanks for asking!
