Calie’s measurements / Calie的尺寸

Last Friday we had an OB appointment. We were scheduled to have an ultrasound check. That was the first time having an ultrasound in this clinic. Everytime we know we are going to have an ultrasound check, we get very excited to see Calie. Last Friday was really hard to see her. Not sure if the machine wasn’t very good or Calie wasn’t in the right position but we couldn’t see her face. The nurse still continued to measure her size. After measuring her, we met the midwife. The midwife checked all the measurements and then she said some of the measurement seem very off. Like BPD, HC, AC and FL should have the similar numbers but two of them were so different. The tricky part was the calculation from all the numbers combined was fine. The calculation was close to 33 weeks. However, the midwife still had some concerns. She suggested for us to go to another place and check the ultrasound again with a better machine. Just to double check that the baby is fine. It sounded scary to us. We asked why we couldn’t check again at this location and she said the machine will be different. The other clinic has a higher detail machine. Well… we didn’t really understand, but we just hoped Calie will be ok. So today we went to the other clinic to check again.

After going through their conogram, the result showed everything was normal. The nurse said Calie was a little bit small but I’m tiny. So they didn’t expect the baby to be huge. Calie’s dimensions were in the normal range. The heart and organs were all beautiful. Thank goodness. During the final trimester, every little concern might scare me. After the midwife told me two of the numbers for Calie were very off, I was so worried. I checked online and many reports showed baby’s problem with those off numbers. Such a nightmare… Please stay healthy my baby girl!

上個禮拜五我們有一次產檢，我們安排要做超音波檢查，這是我們第一次在新的醫院照超音波，每次要照超音波我們都很興奮可以看到Calie，但是上禮拜五照的時候有一點難看到她，不知道是機器的問題還是角度的問題，所以我們沒有真的看到她的臉，但是護士還是很努力的要量她的大小，之後當我們跟助產士見面時，她說有兩個測量的數字看起來很奇怪，通常BPD胎兒頭骨橫徑HC胎兒的頭圍AC胎兒的腹圍長度FL胎兒大腿骨長度這四個應該會是差不多的數字，但是這裡有兩個數字特別小，可是奇怪的是推測出來的數字又很正常，胎兒接近33週，反正助產士就是有一些疑慮，她建議我們去另外一間醫院再檢查一遍，確定寶寶沒有問題，這聽起來就很嚇人，我們問說那我們當下不能再量一次嗎? 她說機器不太一樣，另外一間醫院有的機器是可以檢查比較細微的，我猜應該就是台灣媽媽所稱的高層次超音波吧!? 反正我們有一點無法理解但是我也只希望Calie是沒問題的，所以今天我們就到另外一間醫院再檢查一次了。

檢查之後，檢查的結果都很正常，護士說Calie有一點小但是因為我的體型也很小，所以他們也不期望寶寶會很大，Calie的尺寸都在正常範圍裡面，心臟跟器官也都很正常，聽到真的覺得鬆了一口氣，在最後的階段，每一個疑慮都很嚇人，在助產士跟我們說有兩個地方檢查結果怪怪的之後，我就超擔心的，我在網路上查了一下，全都是有問題的寶寶，真的是惡夢耶。。。希望Calie可以一直保持健康下去!
