Hi all.
I had my 20 week scan where they found an anomaly with the baby's heart. I was sent to another hospital for further scans where they suspected that the baby had a right aortic arch. They then referred me to a specialist for further scans as my baby is always in an awkward position to get a definite answer.
I went to Liverpool Womens on Monday last week and although baby is in his usual face planting position the view was difficult but the suspected diagnosis is possible VSD in the bottom 2 chambers and a Double Arch (Vascular Ring).
I need to re attend tomorrow for further scans. Must say that the staff and the cardiologist were very reassuring and excellent at explaining the conditions. This is an IVF baby and my last chance at being a mum.
I have decided not to do the amniocentesis as for me it won't change the outcome. I am aware that there is a small chance of chromosome 22 defects.
Has anyone else had this diagnosis? What treatment plans were put in place?
