Hi everyone,
I had my 21 week scan yesterday and instead of leaving excited and happy I am now very worried. After what felt like an extremely long scan, the sonographer stated that I should not worry but the is 'borderline' measurent in the baby's ventricle at 10mm - called unilateral borderline ventriculomegaly.
I had to then wait around an hour to see a consultant who repeated this. She stated there are no other abnormalities and that in these cases it is the presence of further abnormalities that are a cause for concern, suggesting chromosomal abnormalities like Down's syndrome, however I should come back in two weeks for a further scan.
My nunchal scan at 12 weeks was completely fine and up until now I have been constantly reminded that I am young (27) healthy and have a low risk pregnancy.
I became very upset and she then tried to reassure me by saying that if it was her pregnancy she would not be worried.
Despite this I'm terrified and I'm struggling to speak to others or feel any enjoyment in my pregnancy - even my baby's movements.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this? I would be really grateful for some insight.
