24 Week Ultrasounds

April 9, 2010

Baby A

Baby B

Both babies are in the 80th percentile in growth and estimated to weigh 1 pound 9 ounces. All systems checked out and everyone is happy with the growth. Baby A was head down for the ultrasound only to flip again by the next appointment. Baby B continues to be transverse and less cooperative than her sister, thus being slighted with the lack of 3-D ultrasounds, maybe next time.

Baby A

Baby A is the bottom of the belly baby and she had the hiccups during the ultrasound. She was mostly cooperative except when it came to looking at her hands. Baby A weighs 13 oz.

Baby B

Baby B is the top baby who hangs out mostly in my ribs all day long. She was moving like crazy and made the ultrasound longer than it had to be. Baby B is also noticeably longer than Baby A. She weighs 14 oz.

Everything is checking out thus far they are within range of what they should be and heartrates are fine. We will have an in-depth ultrasound every 4 weeks with the specialist to keep track of their growths and to watch for any deviation from each other or preterm labor signs. They are looking for increased growth (same as singletons) until week 30, then they run out of room and growing will drop off.
