34 week ultrasound

We had a busy morning on Friday at South Shore Hospital for our monthly ultrasound and NST. The ultrasound for the most part was normal. Because of the positions of the babies, the technician had a difficult time getting the appropriate measurements. They're currently breech and transverse again.  I had to roll over on my sides and twist and turn, it was an uncomfortable appointment. We didn't get any more ultrasound photos, I think the babies are too big for the probe to get any real images.

The baby boy measures 5lbs 13oz and the baby girl measures 4lbs exactly. Due to the large size difference and the fact that she is so small and in the 12% and he is in the 51%, the doctor is slightly concerned. He would like me to return this Friday for a BPP (Biophysical profile) to check the 5 parameters: breathing, mobility, muscle tone, heart rate and amniotic fluid. I will then return in 2 weeks on 2/28/14 for another growth scan. If at this time, there isn't much improvement in her weight or she is "dropping off the growth scale", delivery would be indicated sooner.
