Hi all,
Sorry we're all here... know there are no answers but just need to get this out.
Had NT scan yesterday, and had lovely 10 minutes when all looked fine, but nuchal fold was apparently high at 2.7, which combined with bloods gave me a DS risk of 1:50. However, they wanted scan checked by someone else, who spent ages focusing on head/brain. Another consultant was called in and checked, and said they thought the brain hadn't developed properly. holoencephaly?
Obviously distraught, but feeling was the only option would be termination. As I'm measuring 13+5 it was suggested I could go on the emergency list over the weekend as 14 weeks is the cut off for the surgical procedure.
However, had to have a second opinion scan today at Georges FMU, and consultant agreed there is some issue with brain development, but not as much as thought. So have had CVS and now waiting for results. He wasn't really prepared to commit an opinion on anything.
Either way, there's clearly something wrong - I'm now going to have to suffer a medical termination if that's the way it goes - and I have no idea what's going on.
Anyone else had brain development issues shown at scan?
