Evening ladies, well, i had my scan today and ive came away quite worried. Sonographer wasnt too friendly, i had to go into scan room by myself first, sonographer was scanning for ages with the screen towards her and keep going 'hmm', she then asked me what my dates were and said 'ive just got to speak to one of the consultants, i'll be back in a sec', well you can imagine what was going through my mind, she came back into room smiling, i blurted out'is everything okay, is there a heartbeat', she said 'Yes of course, you've got a real livewire in there', then went on to explain that even though the consultant at my 12 week scan dated me as 4 days further on, she shouldnt have changed my dates as the EDD from my 9 week scan would have been more accurate, she couldnt see the kidneys clearly so wants me to go back for a re scan in 2 weeks. What has got me really worried though is she told me baby has CPC,s (choroid plexus cysts) one either side in its head, she told me there is no other 'soft markers' present to indicate there is a problem, and these CPC,s are likely to have disappeared by 22-24 weeks. Of course the first thing i did was google CPC,s when i got home this evening, it is a marker (along with other things) for Edwards syndrome, a life limiting condition, more common in older woman, i can tick that box then.
The rational part of me thinks-'if she was at all concerned she would have told me, and probably suggested amnio' but im afraid i cant think rationally .
DH was so worried, im playing it down, he thinks im cool about it, as i dont want to spoil his holidays, we've had enough shit to worry about this year already.
Sorry for the rambling self obsessed post, i dont really want to talk to any of my friends in RL about this, i know you ladies will understand.
