Hi everyone, had a very stressful night and today. We had a 20 weeks scan last night, we have family history of cystic fibrosis and both me and partner were due to be tested anyway, last night everything was healthy and fine up until they got to the bowel. The first sonographer wasn't sure so called for help and they said there was a bit of brightness on the bowel and because of the family history of CF they would refer us to a consultant. They were depating this for a bit but sent us. Well after speaking to the consultant about all the possibilities I left absolutely terrified. I've had blood tests today for CF and infection and my boyfriend is having his CF test this week. We have to wait a few weeks now for results. My tests for downs and others were low risk at the start of pregnancy as well. Have read that most babies with this are born healthy and that it's mostly to do with them swollowing blood. Has anyone else had this experience? Thank you
