3rd Doctor's Appointment - 15 weeks 1 day

Since Andrew didn't have to work today he went with me to the appointment. I hadn't gained any weight since last month. The nurse found Baby Johnson's heartbeat (154) as soon as she tried. Dr. Naegele came in and measured my stomach and told me that I needed to go for blood work next week. The Quad test will check for Low levels of AFP and abnormal levels of hCG and estriol may indicate that the developing baby has Trisomy 21(Down syndrome), Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) or another type of chromosome abnormality. Next Appointment- Dec. 11 at 2:15 - Big Ultrasound.
