At 20 weeks we were given devistating news our baby has major heart defects and did we want to end the pregnancy we decided we wanted to know if there was anything else wrong as our chance of a chromosome abnormality was 1in5. We had an amnio done and it all came back normal! We decided we would continue the pregnancy. I'm 34 weeks now and had a scan at 28 weeks and my baby was measuring a little behind but the dr said well your amnio was normal so that is reassuring.... I though reassuring I thought it was 100%!!!! But I didn't think this till after wards so now my bump isn't measuring up well and has shrunk and my midwife said she can feel my baby too easily and thinks I have low fluid levels so I have a scan in 2 days so naturally I googled low fluid and read it can be because the baby has problems with his kidneys. Now I'm freaking out because in my amnio one of the things they wanted to check was degeroge syndrome and I know this can cause kidney issues.... does anyone know if an amnio can say all is well when infact it's not??
