Omphalocele please help me Aibu panicking so much

[suddenlypanicked]

I am so stressed
I am panicking and I don't know if I'm being over the top

I've been told normal at my gestation but I'm in bits

Please help

I accidentally didn't realise my details were in my other post so I've cut them out

Doesn’t this all change at around weeks 9-11 of pregnancy? So at this stage it could well be normal.

It’s normal! Please don’t panic.

I want to know why the sonohrapher said

"I have to tell you because I've seen the intestines are out"

I was so upset and worried he did say it was normal but it's made me so worried
I went on google and I shouldn't have

Were you not able to talk about this with someone when you had the scan, so that they could explain it to you? Someone has told you it is normal. You seem to feel this is inaccurate - perhaps you could speak to someone else for reassurance.

I am sorry that you are feeling so distressed.

Only the sonographer who was not phased but I said that I went on google and shouldn't have
I didn't have much time to discuss and I just had the scan :(

I've asked my midwife for more information

They have to tell you because they have to record everything they've been able to see, including all the normal things. It's just noting a fact about the scan. It's normal at the stage, nothing to worry about at all.

When you feel calmer, perhaps you could feed back to the sonographer that you were worried about this and could have done with some more reassurance and explanation.

Assassinated

Thanks so much for your words they have been really soothing

No problem I had lots of scans throughout both my pregnancies and got quite accustomed to their procedures.

The key word here is "physiological" - that means it is part of normal physiology (how the body works). All completely normal at this stage. The sonographer didn't communicate this very well by the sounds of it.

I had this at a scan at 9 weeks. 2 weeks later the intestines were inside. Its normal, but I was equally perturbed despite being reassured by the sonographer.

It is a bonkers bit of fetal developement though

@KellyMarieTunstall2

It's so confusing and stressful

The information I'm now getting is it's normal

I could hardly breathe on the way home

What a shame this was not made clearer to you. I hope you feel reassured now. Scans can be a bit of a mixed blessing.

I'm really not into them because their interpretation is so subjective
My last pregnancy I had one lady over measure me by so much that I was being forced into a GD test

My son was always on about the 3rd centile
That is such a big leap and change and discrepancy
I got measured again a week later and they realised it was a huge mistake

As a high risk second pregnancy I know they like to scan but honestly it's only made me nervous

I don't know why they needed to scan for the hyperemesis other then checking if it was a multiple pregnancy but again it wouldn't have changed the outcome would it xx

I think with scans my rule of thumb is that if you aren't pulled into a consultant appointment afterwards everything went fine.

I’m a sonographer, I would never write that on a report and I would not mention it. There was no need to tell you this and record it. It’s normal.

Where was this, was it private?

@SevernWye
No NHS. I don't like over scanning because I think it makes people anxious..
I went to this scan as I thought they "needed" to monitor a pocket of blood
Which this sonographer said was nothing to worry about at all
But then went on to write about the guts
And when he said it and said we shouldn't worry he went on and on and on and it made me anxious

So it was also dark in the room as standard for the scan and finally I am literally not English at all myself by blood and have lived in several places with lots of different races I'm also not a racist but this man was not English and had a very strong accent meaning we had to listen so hard to understand him and I feel the way that he explained things isn't the way someone English native tongue would explain what's going on it just felt so uncomfortable

I feel really soothed knowing you wouldn't have written this down given the gestation

@Nousernameforme
I like that theory
that's comforting

I have a scan this morning to check

Hope all goes well.

All ok

All of that fear
I was weeping on the bed in the room today and the sonographer was shocked but how upset I was by the previous scan

So glad and relieved to have a baby growing safe inside me
