Just had my 20 week scan today (19+6), which showed several suspected abnormalities. First they identified a 2 vessel cord vs 3. Apparently this isn’t necessarily an issue in itself, but they then said the baby is measuring extremely small - most of the measurements were off the chart (under 5th percentile except for TCD and humerus length, which barely made it on the chart)...the baby is measuring more like 17 weeks. Then was told the baby is missing the CSP in the brain, that the lenses and eye orbits were not able to be clearly visualised and that she has a possible VSD. Also, there appears to be an ecogenic ring surrounding the stomach.
I’ve been knocked for six as I previously had a Harmony scan showing low risk so was not prepared for this news today.
The sonographer had issues trying to visualise baby clearly and she was not in a good position. Even sent me to walk up and down stairs and jump up and down to get her to move. So most of the comments on the post scan report said ‘not clearly visualised’. I have an appointment with the Consultant on Thursday - trying to hold out hope that it was an issue with getting a clear scan today, but am very worried.
Anyone have a similar scan?

20 week scan showing multiple abnormalities

I am so sorry op. I have had a tfmr in July at 22 weeks for a genetic issue that was picked up at my 20 week scan. I understand the devastation of what you are going through. 
I am so sorry. I hope when they get the results of the genetic tests they can give you clearer information of what they may mean going forward.
So sorry.
I miscarried a baby with Trisomy 13. It was wretched.
I was told I had a higher than average risk of a chromosome disorder in a future pregnancy but did go on to have my son, who is healthy. I am truly grateful that I have him.
Thinking of you 
Oh op, I'm so very sorry about all you've gone through and for the loss of your daughter.
Sending you lots of strength and my very best wishes.
