Hi ladies,

sorry i didnt get back on yesterday, but i went for my 12 week scan and got terrible news

I had the nuchal scan, baby has.... 7.30 of fluid behind neck
and over belly

I am deverstated and cannot stop crying.

I have another scan on monday and more bloods to check that baby or me have an infection which could be the cause, but the midwife said i could miscarry over the weekend, or the heart could stop beating
OH started crying when she said this, by this stage i was already in floods or tears.

So on monday we will be seeing a specialist and i will have a CVS test, i will have to wait at least 2 weeks for results.

I dont know what to do, its so hurtful, what i do to deserve this? I am 22 and this is my first pregnancy.

I will have to wait until Monday to see what happens next.
This happens to 1 in 1530 people under the age of 30, i guess i was just un-lucky.
After the cvs results i will decide what i want to do. If the results come back as non-downs or Edwards, there is a chance baby is fine, but midwife just gave me a straight NO when i asked if this maybe the case

God, i hope and pray they have it wrong.

Il update when i can.

Thanks,
Cal xxxx

Oh no so sorry you have had such awful news. I am 39 and worried about this as the risks at my age are much greater, I really feel for you hun, I am keeping everything crossed that it proves just to be an infection

OMG I'm so sorry. I don't even know what to say to help but I am praying that everything get's worked out for you and that the baby is really fine.

So sorry to hear of your news.

Aww Cal, I was wondering how things had gone. I can't believe, its understandable you are feeling so down and wish I could give you a huge hug. So could an infection cause such a large amount of fluid? my fingers are crossed that this is the case but either way we are all here for you and will do all we can. I really hope and pray all goes well on Mondays. Im thinking of you all, take care XXXX

Oh Hun, I'm so so sorry, I'm praying and hoping for you thats its just an infection and everything will be fine...you and baby will be in my toughts untill you know more.

I'm sorry to hear that. Here's hoping that you have a really strong little bean in there and it will be fine.

You haven't done anything to deserve this chick, it's just a cruel twist of fate. There's nothing you could have done to prevent it, like you said, you've been unlucky.

Awww sweetie, i am SO sorry to hear this, i have everything crossed for you that all turns out ok. You're in my thoughts xxx

awk darling, I will pray for you and your lo and hope all is ok xx

I am really sorry to hear about your scan. I really hope that your baby is ok. As you say, it could just be an infection. Keep being brave.
