Help please, baby diagnosed with microcephaly and brachycephaly

[KayleysMum]

I am 22weeks pregnant as of today.
I have found out my baby has brain abnormalities. They have named it as microcephaly and brachycephaly which I am not familiar but have read some stories about it. I had a Fetal MRI done waiting for the results and preparing for the worst as all I have heard is the worst. I have been told my daughter may have serve learning disability and may have problems with mobility. They have given me the option to have a termination. This is my first pregnancy and I am so scared all I want is my daughter to be healthy. Would you know what I would be expecting if I decided to continue with the pregnancy? Might the Fetal MRI shown something different? I would love to know if anyone has been through the same and what were the outcomes?

Baby's HC 148.7mm
BPD 42.9mm
TCD 15.8mm
AC 163.7mm
FL 37.4mm
Fetal weight 404g

Hi there, OP
I am so sorry you have received such worrying news. I do not have any experience or specialist knowledge to add, but just wanted to offer a virtual hug, as imagine this must be disconcerting.

Hi KayleysMum,
I just wondered how you got on with your situation and whether your fetal MRI came back with anything more positive?
I’m currently 21 weeks and have been told baby’s head is too small, and need further tests but not much else, I’m trying to gauge what they might suggest for me.
Did you find anything reassuring in this horrible waiting period? X
