24 week scan results...
And it went almost perfect...
Both girls are the same size, and the same average size of a singleton baby as this stage (so I dont think they'll be small), they were in between the 97th and 98th centile (my consultant explained this, but hope i have worded it right?).
Little lady no. 1 is head-down - Yippppeee!
Little lady no. 2 is bum down - breach.
But with twin 1 down, fingers crossed it'll stay that way, I will be allowed a normal delivery - Yeah!
However here's the not so perfect bit... Twin 2 had full (dialted kidneys), on this scan, along with the same issue on the 20 wk scan, and it just means she will need closer monitoring, as there could be many reasons for it, like for instance a blockage of the tubes from the kidneys to the urethea (sp?) or some twisting of one, or some other organ pressing on one, or nothing at all even, it will be monitored now until birth and if they remain same upto birth she will need further tests when she is born. However i was told its quite a common thing to pick up on scans and its just noted now on my notes for closer monitoring and it does not endanger her life or will it mean I have to have her born earlier. So all in all its a wait and see situation.
And i got 2 lovely pics which i will upload later (ther on facebook already).
Next scan on 20th Nov at 28wks.
