Nuchal 5.3 and hydropic

[fempsych]

Hello, not sure what the purpose of my thread is other than hand holding and asking for others experience.

Had an 11 week scan and all ok. Had 12 week scan yesterday and was actually nearly 13 weeks. Anyway, Nuchal is way over and midwife also mentioned extra fluid which looked to be around tummy.

I went straight off to have a harmony privately so have about a week before that comes back.

So now waiting to hear about bloods but given that Nuchal and my age (35) and the fluid, it seems
Obvious to me that it isn't going to be positive 'everything is fine'
News.

Been crying on and off since yesterday. Unfortunately I was on my own at the scan as DH is away and back on Saturday. I donalready have one DD who is 3 1/2 and so I do feel lucky in that respect and trying to stay calm for her.

Any guidance around next week etc gratefully received.

Well, the scan before the CVS show d baby had already died. Dr's feel medical management is best..so I had e first tablet today and then in on Sunday. Quite scared of this bit. Also strange how it suddenly turned from having to make such a decision to a 'miscarriage'...

Sorry for your loss. Do take the time you need to recover, being off work until after Christmas is not unreasonable

I'm so sorry.
In these circumstances it isn't really a decision. We had severe hydrops and they said the baby would die sometime in the second or third trimester. I'vexslwsys thought in my head of it as a mc and talk of it as such, even though it was a tfmr.
I really hope today goes as well as possible. Thinking of you
