High NT fluid at 12 week scan

I had my 12 week scan yesterday and the sonographer found my NT fluid was at 6.3mm. She has referred me to the fetal clinic for another scan and potentially more tests and I am waiting for my appointment.
I am terrified, this feels like it’s happening all over again. Last December we lost our baby at 16 weeks, they carried out a post mortem and found it was a chromosomal problem.
I have read lots of stories where high fluid was found and people went on to have healthy pregnancies. I just want to know if there was anyone else out there who is in the same situation as me, that had lost a baby and had a very similar experience but then when they got pregnant again, went on to have a healthy baby?
I just need to know this isn’t going to happen to me again, I don’t know if I have the strength to go through it all. I feel like I’m in Groundhog Day on the worse days of my life.

Hi OP didn't want to read and run, it hasn't to me but I have read on here before where people have had this and the baby is fine. Try posting in pregnancy too as it's more seen than antenatal tests threads Thanks

I hope you get reassuring news soon. Have you tried posting on the ARC forums?

Thanks guys. Just helps to know that there are people out there listening. I have tried the ARC forum but I’m not able to post as it’s for women that have made the decision to end their pregnancy after a prenatal diagnosis (this was what I was told when I emailed them last year after the loss of our first baby). But thank you for your replies
