Echogenic Bowel, or not? |
| Posted on July 8, 2011 |

We saw Dr. Tabsh today. The baby is measuring 1lb 5oz. Much like any other Dr. Tabsh appointment, he didn't say much. After the scan he told us that the baby looks like he might have an echogenic bowel. His bowels appeared to be more intense on the ultrasound. It can be nothing, but it can also mean a host of things like the baby having a possible infection (Cytomegalovirus, Toxoplasmosis, Parvovirus, etc), and/or the baby *may* be small because of suboptimal placental functioning. Again it could be nothing, and it can pass. But just in case, I am doing extra blood work on Monday to check for infections. In the mean time, I will be seeing Dr. Tabsh every 2 weeks instead of every month. He says he has to keep a close eye. We are both hopeful that Snowflake will be ok in the end. |
