My unborn baby is unwell

Hi all,
Don't really know why I'm posting this, there's nothing anyone can do. I just wanted a hand hold I suppose.

I found out last Friday at my 22 week anomaly scan that my baby girl has increased ventricles, basically additional fluid on the brain.
I've had to wait a week for my consultant appointment (tomorrow at 9.30am) and I think the stress has really got to me now. I keep being sick, with a pounding headache and dizziness. Not helped by my dad calling me yesterday to tell me that "he has been thinking about it and he 100% supports me having a termination." Just what I needed to hear when I'm trying to be positive and have never even discussed termination. She is a much longed for first baby that we went though fertility treatment for, but apparently we should just throw the towel in 🙄

Anyway sat on the sofa watching shit films and cuddling my fur baby (cat) as I couldn't face work today. Also reading every published trial and systematic review ever published on the condition.

Sorry for venting, just don't really know what to do with myself.

How's things?

bear in mind that MRI findings may not tell you much. even if it's a specific anomaly you cannot always make a prognosis.

my daughter has a structural anomaly and is top of the class...
she does have bad migraines though.

How are you doing Op? And your baby? I have been thinking of you.
