My doctor has prescribed me ecosprin (basically aspirin) for blood thinner. She told me not to worry and to meditate and eat a lot of proteins. My blood pressure is normal and the baby’s growth seems to be normal too. I’m still worried. I’m not able to find any cases like mine. I guess I’m looking for any info or reassurance.
For example anytime the say “scan the ship/bridge for spatial anomalies” and then they find something in a pretty specific area. Is there already a working theory on how their crazy high resolution spatial scanners might work?
Just had 20 week scan and a) they can’t see outflow tracts in heart and b) they can’t see cerebellum. Googling not producing much succinct info especially for my extremely unfocused brain - anyone got any experience/insight with this? I am guessing the fact that it’s two things is an especially bad sign and the fact that they had a clear view of the brain but couldn’t see something there is not a good sign. Being referred to a specialist but that won’t be for at least five working days.
Update: sweet baby girl had two deletions in chromosome 3 leading to severe underdevelopment of brain and we had to TFMR. Heartbroken.
FTM, my pregnancy has been a little difficult. Even at 20 weeks I still have awful nausea, I’m unable to eat much and haven’t gained any weight since my last appointment in Feb. Also I have had three UTIs, so life right now isn’t perfect. Anyway I head to my appointment having eaten just a little cereal for breakfast as I was getting late. The woman starts scanning me, the first thing she says: baby position... breach. Then she gives out a few measurements to her assistant to note. Then she reminds me I’m overweight and have a lot of fat accumulated in my stomach. After that she asked me what I had eaten because the baby wasn’t very active. Also she asks me if I have had any bleeding lately. She then made me sit in the waiting room for over an hour and eat. Fortunately I had some crackers and candies in my purse. I had those and sat uncomfortably forever! All my excitement of finding out the baby’s gender had been replaced by severe anxiety as I googled breeched baby positions and what could I have done wrong while waiting. She called me back, did another scan and then told me to wait outside. I did as I was told. Later at my meeting with my doctor he asked me the gender, I said I don’t know. He said you didn’t ask the tech? You all!!! I’m so mad I can’t even begin to explain! That woman made small talk about everything to me! But she couldn’t ask me if I wanted to know my baby’s gender!!!!! I didn’t know I had to ask! Argh I’m so mad I can punch the wall! Anyway doctor assured me that babies usually position themselves the right way during third trimester and I shouldn’t worry. I spent the whole ride home in tears!
Sorry I can’t find a concrete answer in Google for this. I’m currently 21+3 and it’s so difficult to book a schedule at my hospital for it, thanks to Covid. I just had a standard ultrasound at 20 weeks and despite being breech my baby looked okay so far. Can I still do the scans in the next month or two?
I am currently 20wk+6days pregnant and had an anomaly scan yesterday. So far my EDD before the anomaly scan was 2 to 4 September. However in the anomaly scan the EDD turned out to be 10th September that's more than 40 weeks of pregnancy. So I am worried if my baby is smaller or if there is something wrong as the baby age was 20wk+ 5days however that means that the baby's EDD must be 2-4 September. Really confused.
I can say with certainty that this one anomaly will start the event chain, and I'd like to delay the anomaly till I get a decent base. Does the event have some other way to start?
At our anatomy scan we got devastating news - a serious heart defect, commonly associated with chromosomal abnormalities. My heart sank. We were offered a late termination. My world collapsed. The next 10 days were a blur, we met with a foetal cardiologist interstate and he did a foetal echocardiogram, I had amniocentesis done and we anxiously awaited the results. We had so many questions that couldn’t really be answered. How long is he likely to live? Will he be able to play and run around with his friends? What will his quality of life be? Should we put him through this? Should we put ourselves through this? We’re both young and healthy, we could ‘try again’.
Ultimately we decided to have our little boy. He was born in January and his welcome was far from routine. He was born, I fell even further in love - more in love than I thought possible (how cliche). He was airlifted to another city with his Daddy while I had to stay behind. I cried myself to sleep, alone, listening to the cries of other people’s babies, knowing he was probably out there crying for me, but I couldn’t be there to comfort him. He had a procedure done. I cried because I couldn’t be there to hold him. We were reunited. We were transferred back. We spent a week in the nicu. He was started on a new medication. We came home for a week. He was breathing funny. We went back to the nicu for another week. He was started on another medication. We came back home.
We cruised along for a while until we were told it was time for surgery. He was only 2 months old. The surgery. Open heart. The ‘complete’ repair. Hopefully the first and last. We met the surgeon and were blown away by her competency. He was in safe hands.
I took him in at 7am. Only one parent was allowed at the hospital. I held him through the admission questions. He smiled and charmed the pants off everyone. They came to take him away. He smiled and I smiled back while I died inside. The day was torture, there is no other way to put it. We played animal crossing and tried to put it out of our mind. All I could think about was them slicing him open and pulling apart his ribs. It hit 3pm. We should have heard something by now. I called up. Still nothing. ‘Just wait, we will call you back when he arrives in picu’. I stopped coping. Surely there was a reason it was taking longer. What went wrong?
Finally we got the call and went to talk to the surgeon. It went as well as it could have possibly gone. We went to see him. He was cover
... keep reading on reddit ➡My doctor had asked me to do anomaly scan in 3rd to 4th week of December. I wanted to avoid the holiday week because medical personnel may go on leaves. So I scheduled it on 21st December which would be 19w 1d. But now I am worried it may be a bit early for for anomaly scan. Did anyone have their scan at this time period- were there visibility problems?
[UPDATE: 22/12/2020: My Anomaly scan went A-ok. The sonographer caught everything in one shot and baby is growing as he/she would at this gestational age. I have anterior (not low lying) placenta though, which I don’t know what to feel about]
Edit: updated 5 weeks pp. when baby was born her legs were completely average!!! Despite measuring below tenth centile in two other scans- BUT she was always curled up tightly. I’m hoping this reassures anyone who searches to find this topic- scan measurements aren’t always accurate!
Hi there,
I had my 20 week scan recently and all the measurements were on track at around 50th centile except for the FL which was in the 3-5th centile. I’ve been referred to a specialist but I’m honestly feeling extremely anxious and was wondering if anybody has any experiences of this and how it turned out.
My husband and I are not short (5 foot 6 and 5 foot 11). We don’t have particularly short people in our family either. Our first baby was smack bang average at 46th centile when she was born and followed the curve perfectly throughout my first pregnancy.
All my tests for abnormalities came back low risk but now I’m envisioning terrible things including disability and chromosomal abnormality. I’m trying not to google things but it’s hard.
Any input or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I’m currently 21 weeks and I missed my anomaly scan today. My 14 month old was awake from midnight to 4am and I only slept around 6am. My mind was all over the place when I woke up and forgot that I have a scan lol. The only next slot available is in 2 weeks time, I’ll be 23 weeks + 5 by then. Haven’t talked to the doctor yet but her secretary said it’s a bit late. Not really sure what she meant by it but should I be worried? I actually feel bad for forgetting. Thanks!
Hey everyone.. not sure what I'm trying to achieve with this post but I guess I just need some positive energy. I've been waiting and waiting for my 20 week scan, getting more and more nervous the closer I get. Well tomorrow is the day and I'm so nervous that I could get some bad news I just can't stop thinking about it. Any tips on keeping my cool, or anything I need to be asking or looking out for at my scan? Hope you're all well :)
Hi everyone I'm having my anomaly scan at like 25 weeks pregnant and this is because i found out i was pregnant very late on but I'm just wondering how many weeks you were when you had your anomaly scan and is having an anomaly scan at 25 weeks normal?
Hi all. I had my 20 week anomaly scan today and was given some bad news about baby's heart. The doctor couldn't see the continuity of the aorta in the ventricular septum and there appears to be a circular vessel at the level of the trachea.
I have an appointment with the specialist on Wednesday but in the meantime does anyone have any experience of this or even know what it means in plain English?
I'm really freaking out about what it means and Google has been no help at all.
Recently completed glucose tolerance test and just wondering whether NHS would conduct any scans at all in the third trimester prior to the delivery?
Hi mommas to be, I just had my midterm ultrasound and my baby had head circumference (HC) in the 4th percentile. I’m very worried that this implies I’m going to have a not so smart baby. Is my fear irrational, or am I right to think so? The abdominal circumference (AC) is also low, in the 10th percentile. Does this add more meaning to the low HC?
Edit : thought I’d update this in case other people read it later. I’m an Indian woman in Netherlands. My babe was in the lowest percentiles compared to Dutch statistics; by Indian statistics, she’s fine! It was an unnecessary wordy afterall.
