Self Portrait-Absurd April
It has been a long 30 weeks for me. I have gone to every doctor appointment that has been scheduled for me. I am trying to do everything possible to take care of my little girl. I now have appointments for fetal echocardiograms. Heart problems occur in about 30% of girls with Turner's Syndrome (according to the cardiologist I saw last time). I had another one last week. Another one where I was told that there looks her aorta might be narrow, but can't really tell with any certainty. They seem pretty confident that her aortic valve is narrow, but to what degree they don't know. They are uncertain as to if she will need surgery and what kind. And they can't say anything definite really, until after she is born. So why do I have to do to these appointments? Why do I have to go through getting this news and end up in an upset mood for a couple of days afterwards? What is the point? I think it is quite absurd that I have to go to these appointments when is seems to me that there won't be anything conclusive to tell me until after she is born.

This must be so frustrating for you. Especially since there is no definite answer at the end.
