Hello I am almost 21 weeks pregnant and we had our 20week scan a few days back and all was going great we were laughing and joking and how wiggly he was and how he was hiding his bits from us, then she went quiet and said she was getting someone to help her with the measurements. In came another lady and said is it ok for me to scan you. I said it was and she told me not to worry it's just my baby was moving so much they could not get a clear view of the heart. We accepted this as he was moving a lot. Then the First Lady asked us did we have anything we should tell her...... We asked such as what? She asked if our screenings came back ok? We said they did. She then asked us is there any problems with babies in the family. We knew they had seen something at this point and asked what was going on. They asked if we knew about holes in the heart. We do slightly I guess and know they can be ok so the relief came over is that's all it was!!! She then went on to tell us our baby's heart did not develop as expected and his vessels were in the wrong places and going the wrong way out. And one of the great vessels is enlarged. There is no great vessel crossover.
She said we had to see a specalist so in a couple of days we do and find out a lot more. In the mean time we are so so scared and worried. I read through my scan report and found words such as DORV and VSD, enlarged puloimotry artery and no crossover. Naturally I googled these words in a quiet moment of curiosity, page after page of terrifying results came up of open heart surgery at birth, blue babies, shunts and umbrellas. These are things the midwife who scanned me mentioned to us but not in such scary detail she said maybe an op, maybe he will have a blue tint at birth which won't go away.
Is there anyone been in this situation who can help me through this awful scary nightmare?
