Well, still no word on the gender so I suppose we'll just assume it's a boy until delivery. The doctor returned my call to answer all of my questions so I didn't have to wait until my next appointment - how awesome is she?
Anyway, I'm 22 weeks, but the baby's head is measuring about 18 weeks and the abdomen is measuring about 28 weeks. The bad news is that my amniotic fluid index is down to a 7. Normal range is between 8 - 18 and it typically drops off the closer you get to delivery. I'm assuming it's quite early for me to be so low. If the level drops too low, it puts stress on the baby and could result in preterm death. I know it'll happen one way or another it's just strange to think about it happening sooner rather than later.
