Hi,
I can't find anything recent on this, so started thread here. Please let me know if I shouldn't have*
I had my 12 week scan today and it was not pleasant to say the least. I struggled to keep tears back.
Anyway I have just turned 40, this is a first pregnancy and baby was dated 13 weeks. So far everything has been going well, So I thought..
The sonographer began really positive and was laughing at my baby with it's little legs crossed. She then abruptly stopped, apologised and went to get someone.
To cut a long story short the baby's is nuchal measuring 6 mm and notes say this is suggestive of a cystic hygroma. I'm sure cysts on the nuchal were also mentioned. I am due back tomorrow for a test that will shed more light, I can't remember the name but they take a little from the placenta. It takes 2 weeks to get the results, I don't know if I can wait that long, but needs must.
I am a realist so I'm not expecting heartwarming stories but can anyone shed any light for me? All of this is something I know little about.
