Hey. I just looking for some positivity after receiving bad news at my 20 week scan. Baby girl looked healthy up until the sonographer was looking at her brain. I just remember hearing “I’m so sorry, I have found something” she went onto to say that the left ventricle had excess fluid of 14mm and that she would get the specialist midwife to speak to me. They didn’t really tell me much, just what it could be caused by and that I will need referring to Fetal medicine for a scan & mri. I have read and read till my eyes can’t no longer focus on stories from parents around the world, and I am just utterly heartbroken for us all that have had to go through this. I know the prognosis in the long run is dire with with such a high measurement, I’m just hoping someone sees this and has some words or encouragement or a positive story to tell. I just don’t know how I will go on without her.

My sons were measuring 20 I think. He was supposed to be still born according to fetal medicine. He is turning 12 soon.
