results of doppler scan

[JackieT]

hi all
just thought i would come on and give us all a little cheerful news, even though i am still reeling after reading dagnys post!!!!!! ijust cannot believe that we can get so far and then to go through so much and all that loss and heartache. she is right when she said dont take anything for granted, we really cant, and we just wish we could do something to help all of us who go through such pain, i suppose by staying strong now for them and ourselves is the best we can do...
well, i went to see my professor yesterday, and got the results of my doppler and i have 90% chance of not developing pre-eclampsia this time, we are so relieved, they have increased my tablets from 3 to 6 to keep my bp controlled and as for the excess amniotic fluid, i have a diabetees test on 10 march and if thats ok, well then theres nothing they can do until shes born, if she is not swallowing enough, but they say she is developing properly and they could see her stomach, we go back to see him in 2 weeks time and i also have to have an echo scan done to make sure that my heart is up to the labour on the 11 march, so i can do no more at this stage except pray and wait, but i am so annoyed at myself as i forgot to ask what will it mean to the baby if shes not swallowing??? anyone know???? dh says stop worrying, but how can we do that? i will worry until we see him again.
anyhow enough of me, i hope you are all fine. has anyone heard fro, val??
talk soon
love jackie xxx

I am so relieved for you - thank goodness. I like you am still reeling from Dagny's news........... It brings it all back to me of what happened to Oliver.
As for not swallowing - might be right - don't think it is huge but basically they swallow the amniotic fluid and then pass it through their kidneys etc to keep them working - they then pass this out as urine. You could end up with an increase of fluid.
But this on the other hand could be my usual twaddle - I would put a quick call through and just ask and have a pen handy just in case you forget it - not being patronising.
Take care and keep us posted
Love
Tracey
