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
WBM I'm so sorry that you are going through this at the moment. I am thinking of you all and that everything is going to work out.
I couldn't imagine the shock and disbelief you and your DH are both in.
WBM, glad you are hanging in there and feeling a bit more positive. I started calling it the TTWW - the terrible/torturous two week wait
One thing I should have mentioned in my orig post was that we were told the same as you - there was "definitely something wrong" with our baby. We were given terrible odds - a one in ten chance that the baby was ok. I looked at it that way, DH looked at it the other way - nine in ten chance the baby was not ok.
Our Obs told us that our measurements/readings were so bad that even if it wasn't what they were suspecting, it would "most likely" be something else just as bad or worse.
And then we were cleared, one by one, of all the terrible nasty things. We are now looking at a small fluid-filled lump on the back of the baby's neck that will probably go away by the time the baby is born. It is nothing.
So we went from 90% chance of something "terrible" (read: life-threatening) to a tiny lump that does no damage at all to growth/development and might not even be there when our princess is born.
What I'm trying to say is never give up hope. Until you have some test results in front of you that tell you what it is, don't focus on what it might be.
Thanks anna, tobyturtle, nurse dan and ocean princess, I must say Ocean princess ur message has really touched me.
Ur message has given me so much hope and made me feel positive...I read ur words to my DH and he got a smile on his face and i could c the hope in his eyes.
He also asked me to pass on a message of all the best to u for the arrival of ur baby and same from me too.
I'm just so anxious to get to the ultrasound.
Next wednesday i have my ob appointment and then the wednesday after is the ultrasound, two wks from today....
thanks everyone again

I hope the next two weeks go quickly for you and your scan shows a beautifully healthy little munchkin. We'll be thinking of you and DH and sending heaps of good luck vibes your way.
WBM ~ Just want to send you big hugs & lots of positive thoughts that your baby will be ok. I can't even begin to imagine just how hard this is on both you & your DH. I hope the next 2 weeks just flies by so quickly for you both.
Hi All,
Just thought I'd update... tomorrow afternoon I have my Ob appointment and althought I don't have my ultrasound for another week I''m hoping that she may able to shead a bit of light for us. It's been two weeks since we were given our bad news but haven't seen anyone since so I'm really anxious to go to my appointment. My ob will do an ultrasound but its a one of the old machines where its really just used to check babys heartbeat, i don't think its able to show a really defined pic.
Well anyways I'll update again as soon as I know anything more.
Thanks everyone xxx
