It was no walk in the park. Ha Ha Ha. Seriously, the perinatologist told me when I was pg w/ DS8 (pg#3) "Mothers' usually know. If you ever doubt the baby is OK, you head straight to L&D." I was doing kick counts 3x/day. If the poor kid was quiet for more than 30min, I was poking him to make sure he was OK. He had an enlarged umbilical vein so we were concerned w/ blood clots so they were constantly measuring blood flow in the umbilical cord as well as in his head as well as bone growth scans, abdominal circumference measurements, fluid levels..... It was tough emotionally dealing w/ the what ifs.
But I have 3 healthy kids so I can't complain!!!!
