I'm 31 weeks, had another growth scan today and it was horrible.
I've been having lots of scans because baby had a cystic hygroma at 12 weeks. CH is supposed to have gone now, no heart/chromosome problems found so they are just checking on growth.
Had panic attack on way in cos I couldn't find the clinic, waited 2 hours past my app time and it turned out they hadn't put my name through so I had to wait while they went off for lunch. Then I was rushed through, midwife doing the scan clearly didn't want to be doing it and was going as fast as she could. Had consultant app but she was rushing as well so I couldn't tell her anything I was worrying about.
Have been worrying that maybe my waters were leaking, a lot of watery discharge I have to wear a pad every day.
Once I got home I saw on my notes the amniotic fluid level is lower than on my last scan so now I'm really scared.
I'm worried about my blood pressure, but they insist it's ok. I had pre-eclampsia on a previous pregnancy, they kept insisting it was ok that time too until I had to get rushed in to hospital.
BP usually 100/55, today was 128/76. I know this isn't a high reading but it's such a big increase.
When she was scanning, there was a fluid area that she measured. She said it was fluid on the baby but didn't say anything else. There is nothing on the notes, but I'm worrying the Cystic Hygroma could be coming back.
And to top it off my boss is annoyed with me cos the delay meant I had to have the whole day off instead of just the morning.
I'm so miserable now and just sitting here crying.
Does anyone have any advice on BP or amniotic fluid levles? Does anyone know if cystic hygromas can come back?
