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.
