why did the ultrasound tech take pictures of MY organs after checking my baby?

Im 8 months pregnant and my baby is measuring small.. Doctor sent me in for an ultrasound to find out what is going on.. The technician took all the usual ultrasound pics of my baby, then took pictures of mine as well, like my kidneys, liver, gall bladder and I’m not sure what else.. I won’t get the results till next week.. I have had ultrasounds in the past and they’ve never taken pictures of my organs as well.. does anyone know why the doctor may have ordered this?? They aren’t telling me anything.

I have a thyroid disease and Gestational Diabetes.. would either of these effect my organs?

(pictures) Weird insulin bruising problems!?

I’m pregnant and I have gestational diabetes, so I have to inject insulin into my stomach 3 times a day.
Almost everywhere I poke myself, a HUGE bruise appears. The biggest one I have is about the size of a baseball and it’s really, really dark purple and blue around the edges. I also have another on the other side about the size of a half-dollar and it looks like dark purple stripes. It’s hurting and i’m not sure if I should go see a doctor now or wait until my next appointment. Thank you.
I couldn’t get the pictures uploaded. =(

Isabella Grace?

I just wanted to tell you guys that my lovely daughter, Isabella Grace, was born May 31st, at 9:15 p.m. Although she was five weeks early, she weighed in at a whopping eight punds 14 ounces! Had she stayed in the whole time, she would have easily been 13 pounds. Gestational diabetes is a trip! LOL! Anyway, pictures are soon to come! Thanks to those of you that helped answer my questions and kept me quite entertained! Be back soon!

Question about first trimester abortion?

I’m a 40 yr old single mother of 4 wonderful boys. My youngest is 3 years old. I had my tubes tied when I had him in 2003. Imagine my surprise when I found out i’m pregnant again!

The reason I had my tubes tied is i have less than a 1% chance of living through another pregnancy. I have heart disease, eclampsia, gestational diabetes, i’ve had 4 c-sections and very high blood pressure. My youngest was 6 weeks premature and 14.1 lbs at birth!

Now, i do NOT belive in abortion, but i’m also worried about leaving my sons with no one to care for them. I have no living family and the boys would probably go to foster homes. The fathers have never paid any child support.

I’m most likely only 4 weeks along. I’ve seen the pictures of 6-7 week abortions and they are horrible. I would never willingly put a little life through that. But my living children need me too!

Advise? Suggestions? prayers? The doctor today said he didn’t seen anything on the sonogram, but the ‘pee test’ positive
The doc that tied my tubes simply said that ‘sometimes this happens’ and my atty let me know that unless i died, there was really no ‘damages’ or recourse. planned parenthood won’t even DO an abortion till 6 weeks plus, and i don’t want to wait that long if i’m going to do one! This is so frustrating. If this goes on till 10-12 weeks, there is simply no WAY i would have one, whether or not my life would be in danger. Granted, the possibility of carry-ing this child to term is slim. Still… this is really rough. Thanks for all your answers. Hopefully something will turn up.
About the ‘fathers’ question: I have only had 2 husbands. The first died, but the estate was supposed to pay child support and never did.

The second developed a drug habit, a drinking habit, a womanzing habit and a no-working habit 4 years into our marriage and I had to make a very hard decision to raise the boys on my own. We went to counsling (or rather I did, he refused to go) for almost a year to try and reconcile things, but in the end I had to put the health of my kids before my marriage. He was also abusive to both me and the kids. He does not pay child support.

FYI, I have a PhD, a home business a little 5 acre farm and I homeschool all my kids. I’m a VERY devoted mom and very proud of my kids.

I am now engaged to a wonderful man and he only wants the best for us both. He said this decision was up to me and he’d support anything I did. He has two children and we have a wonderful blended family. I didn’t think about getting pregnant again because i had had a tubal!
