Saturday I went for a private baby bond scan. Baby measured 43mm and I was dated at 11+1. Heart beat 173bpm. Everything looked normal except she said she could see extra fluid behind babies head. She struggled to move baby but when she did she got a measurement of 4.5mm which is not great for such early gestational age.
She was all doom and gloom and acted like my baby defiantly had a chromosome defect or a heart defect. She also said my tube looks blocked and I have two 25mm cysts on my ovary when the nhs scanned me the week before I had one cyst so looks like it's split. I suffer no pain from it though but it is worrying.
I am 21 partner is 23 neither smoke or drink we have no family history of issues except dp brother has downs.
Tomorrow I'm having another private scan except this time I'm having the fluid measurement taken, my blood taken and my age taken into consideration and will get an overall risk factor.
My nhs combined test is not until the 9th and they couldn't fit me in any sooner so I booked this one.
Baby has been very still the last couple scans it barely move out all which concerns me and Dp.
I am concerned about the fluid being even higher tomorrow and I'm terrified I'll get a risk factor of 1:2. I then have the worry of waiting until the anomaly scan if this all goes well to see if anything else is wrong.
How do I get through this . Me and my partner are really stuggling.
