    I recently went through 2 weeks of worry due to something that showed in a scan which was normal when I went for the next scan. Sometimes I think scans create uneccessary worry in mums to be. Hopefully all will be well when they check it again. With mine the sonographer told me on the day that all was OK (don't think she was supposed to) but at least I didn't have to wait all weekend for the result.

    Best of luck for a good result.

    Hi sweety,

    Often things can get picked up in a scan, and by the next scan they are completly gone. My friends just had a gorgoues DD, all the while the drs told her she has a heart condition, could be hypoplastic left heart, or something less minor, like a hole in her heart. Well she was born with no heart condition at all, a perfect healhty bub. My SIL sister was told her baby had too much fluid around its brain etc etc, turned out he was fine, and nearly 2 now.

    Try not to worry yourself mad, it could be nothing, and I agree, it best to speak to someone to get all the information as to what it could be and how it may be resolved.

    Best of luck hun,
    Lisa

    still no real infomration except that it could possibly be a nerual tube defect worst case and least case a cyst or bone defect - she said its nothing she has seen that she can pin to a condition she doenst think it is tubeal defect but it is in the area that that does occur - that is why im having the scan friday so tha the radiologist or doctor who is professional in fetus and head stuff can look at it - we may need to be referred to the fetal medicine department in the Womens and childrens (adelaide)

    my antenal serum screening was very low risk so thats possibly a good thing....

    im trying to tell myself that is the least case and trying to be positive ....but its hard..

    Meegm - So sorry you are having all this worry. I hope this next u/s you are having on Friday gives better results. My little girl has a choroid plexus cyst, and has a high nuchal fold, they were worried about her having DS. After a CVS that has cleared her of having DS, they are now looking into a heart problem due to the high nuchal fold. Anyway I have my next u/s in 2weeks time, so I can relate with the worry. I hope you get to relax after Friday u/s with the rest of your pg a worry free one. I would like to say try not to worry and relax now, but I know how hard it is to do that with what you are going thru.

    oh csab i so feel for you i really do.

    i woke up today and i feel very different i dreamt shes ok - i know she is.....

    i will let you all know what they say ....

    my only hope is that there is no mental retardation as I dont think we as a family could cope with a very menatlly retarded child... i feel its not fair on the baby and not fair on our family plus we dont have the financial resources for me to stop working etc... so i hope to god she is ok and we can just get on with the pregnancy and welcome her into our family in 20 weeks time...

    Hugs right back at ya csab...
