I'm feeling pretty awful. I'm 13+2 today. I went for my 12wk scan last week and got the devastating news that baby had a large Cystic Hygroma (from back of neck down to its bottom) and Hydrops on it's abdomen. I was sent straight from my scan to Fetal Medicine. I met a consultant who confirmed the scan details. I had a CVS, which after 2 insertions didn't work so had an early amnio; awful procedures. I did those in order to get a full idea of what I was faced with. I've since had some early results showing negative results for 13, 18 & 21 and no sex chromosome abnormalities. Consultant is now running full aCGH test on all chromosomes. There's still a chance that those initial results will come back positive. I'm in complete pregnancy limbo. I know there are some lovely miraculous stories out there and some equally disheartening sad ones. I'm 41, so I was prepared for challenges. But this didn't even pop up as something I should've thought about. I guess I'm scared and feeling useless. I have no idea why I'm posting; I think I just wanted to 'emotionally dump' somewhere.
