I have just read through each and everyone's replies (actually I've read them through twice)...
And I would like to say a huge thanks you, I know that words can not change the situation i'm in but they do kind of lighten things, all I don't personally know any of u its just beautiful and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
It's been the longest and hardest 24hrs of our lives and we both have a feeling deep down inside that its the worst case, mainly because the dr said that there is definately a problem, it wasn't a maybe it was a YES.
DH and I have been discussing it all day and when we go back if the results are still the same we're going to ask to go else where to seek a second opinion, which seems the only hope at the moment.
Although we are preparing ourselves for the worse news possible. Its just so hard and confusing.
I'm sorry to keep going on and saying the same things... i think its shock talking.
thanks everyone again
WBM It is perfectly normal to be in shock. We really dont mid you repeating yourself, I know when I am stressing about something I say it over and over and over (there are a few very similar posts from me around the place )
I know that lots of doctors say there is something definitely going on and then get proven wrong. I have been told that DD2 would do things that she cant, and I have been told that she wouldnt do things that she can. I hope for your sake that bubby's legs are just a little slower to grow - or the scan was wrong, and that your next scan shows normal measurements for that stage of development.
No matter what the outcome, we are all here for you hun. Hang in there.
WBM, I'm so so so sorry that you have to wait like this. And I prey with everything I have that your baby is just fine.
I know that your DOC has said that there is definitely something wrong and I don't want to get your hopes up with what I'm going to share with you but I just thought you might like to hear this. When I went for me morthology scan at 19ish weeks when I was pregnant with DS, every part of him measured only 16 weeks except his head that was a few days over my EDD. We immediately thought the worse and the sonographer and my doc said that there was a good chance that something could be wrong. I had 4 scans all before 12 weeks that all confirmed my EDD. So there was no way the dates were wrong. So of course were so worried, told to go back in 2 weeks. Well that was the longest 2 weeks of my life. Anyway we went back, and thank the lord he was back on track for my original EDD, body and head now measured the correct for dates, head still a little in front but that only because he has a boof head, still does . The sonographer said that he must have just stared a growth spurth and that's why his head was on track but his body 3 weeks behind.
I know this is totally different to your case, but I just wanted to let you know that sometimes, modern intervention can lead to much unnecessary worry. I know there is a very high chance that your baby does have something wrong with his/her legs, but there is also a small chance that he/she doesn't.
I hope you can stay possitive and strong over the next few weeks. And good luck with the next scan. I'll be thinking of you.
WBM - I am thinking of you in this difficult time. Keep coming back to let us know how you're getting on.
Scans and tests so often seem to be the cause of concern, and you're not alone in your experience. Sometimes I think there's a reason we can't see inside our bellies, but I know that anxiety to 'know', so maybe try and let the information you have help you in some way.
At times of stress, I look inside and talk to my baby and ask them what's going on and what I should do. I really hope you and DH find the answer for you.
I am sending you strength to wait out these three weeks.
Hi everyone!
It's been a few days since I've posted and I've just been taking the time to get my head around everything, well try at least.
I think I have gotten over the initial shock and now and just considering every option depending on the outcome of the next ultrasound in 2wks and 1day (not that i'm counting :-P)
And all the words of everyone writing to me has really mad eme think even harder. I have read all of the messages to wonderful husband and he can't believe how lovely complete strangers are, so thank you from him and me.
I just thank god everyday that i have already been blessed with our beautiful son Brock and whatever the outcome is he brightens up our world.
So thanks again and I will update again soon.

Hi again WBM. I'm glad you're still hanging in there.
Its great to hear you're blessed to have a beautiful son and DH, and this experience will strengthen you as a family. No matter what your decision, you will find lots of support here at BB, so keep posting, and expressing your feelings.
Always remember that your body an amazing miracle-maker (it can grow a baby!) and trust what it is telling you to do...
Oh WBM, im sorry you have to go through this. I cant offer much advice, other than what the others have already said. Please keep us up to date and know that lots of us are thinking of you
Well tomorrow is the big day, when hopefully we will be informed of exactly whats happening with our little bubba - although it still feels like a horrible dream and i have such a bad feeling about tomorrow.... but I guess there's nothing I can do at the moment besides sit and wait for 1.30pm tomorrow.
My wonderful husband and my mum will both be in there with me so with 3 sets of ears hopefully we can take it in correctly...
I will be back on here to update as soon as I can.
Thanks all xxx
