Hello all, i went for my 12 week scan and showed a high NT but all structure of baby okay in regards to growth, nose bone, arms, legs, head etc. But because of high NT they have taken my bloods and then referred me for a CVS today in london which they confirmed high NT and fluid on chest exact words were; generalised skin oedema and fluid in the fetal chest (hydrops). We suspect a cardiac anomaly but the small size of the baby limits the ability to diagnose this for certain. I’ve only just turned 24 years old and this just doesn’t seem right to me nor fair due to my luck the last few years. I have got a lot of satisfaction out of some of the replies on here but i can only see some dated in 2011-2014 but i am new to this. I just wondered if anyone had any advice, had anything similar and it’s all very grey at the moment and they seem quite negative about the high NT which i am prepared for the worse but just want to hold some hope as really don’t want to loose the baby. Thanks x

@CMAC86 I’m so sorry about your loss, I’m sure it must be so scary to contemplate getting pregnant again.
we are all good here - he’s 7 months next week and totally fine. Yes confined placental mosaicism is a thing but quite rare. Every day I am grateful as he truly is a miracle. Wishing you all the best x
