These are the words from our Midwife after our 20 week anatomy scan. February 9th was supposed to be one of the most exciting days of our life. We were going to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. We found out right away that our baby is breech. No big deal, a lot of babies turn during the second half of pregnancy. We were later told that everything looked great and our baby GIRL was measuring a day ahead. We got a few pictures and a short video and went back out to the waiting room to wait to see our Midwife. When we were finally able to see her, she dropped the bomb. There was potentially something seriously wrong with our baby's heart. "They weren't seeing what they wanted to see." We were then told that we would need to have another ultrasound followed by a fetal echo in Iowa City at the hospital. Not the type of appointment you dream of having.
We received a call from the hospital in IA City the next day, letting us know that our appointment would be the following Wednesday. We were stuck in limbo with no explanation or answers for a week.
