Hi All,
hoping to hear your thought and reassurance as I am very anxious and driving my husband crazy! I am 40 and nearly 12 weeks with our rainbow after ttc for over a year and 2 lovely teenagers!
last week I had a bleed (turned out to be a heamotoma that should resolve itself) and I was lucky to have been able to see my lively baby with good heartbeat. The sonographer said she was very happy with progress so far and had no concerns and sent me home. Now for the crazy part…..the photos are lovely and baby is developing well but I can’t shake the thought that there seems to be sooooo much space at the back of the neck. I understand increased risk due to age but I am literally consumed by googling and comparing scans. Would she have mentioned anything g if she was worried? I’m not even sure I’m looking at the right thing. My anxiety is taking a battering here! 12 week scan not till the 18th when I’ll be 13 and 1.
any thoughts at all?! Could it just be that baby is still tiny? 😬
thank you for reading xx

That doesnt look like a side view to me, so wont show the bit they measure x

I can't see the part that's concerning you? To be honest the orientation of the baby doesn't look correct for measuring anyway. I think you're worrying yourself TBH
Congratulations!

Congratulations! I know how hard pregnancy after a loss is - I was so on edge the whole time. I honestly think they would have said something if they were worried though. They would be sending you to have other tests or more detailed scans if they had any concerns. Good luck with your pregnancy!

Wow, thank you for ur speedy replies ❤️ I keep hearing so much about my age and issues that I’m really stressing and the other half doesnt worry about anything!

As PPs said it’s just a random scan photo @Peachesthecat, you can’t take any measurements from it - my early ones were so rubbish I didn’t even share them with anyone as it hardly even resembled a baby. Having a good scan at 10-11w is very promising and best of luck for the 18th! (I’ll be having my 20 week one on the same day after two early losses) xx

Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to respond. I know I’m reading too much into things but it’s hard not to sometimes! Wishing you all good vibes for the 18th too! Xxx
