Dear Mums, I am looking for some experiences and help regarding the recent anomaly scan I had. This is my third baby and i suffer from severe anxiety because of the previous miscarriage I had before the birth of my DD (2 years old). My DS is 5 years old. The sonographer who did the scan suspected an echogenic bowel in baby however she kept reassuring me that 99% sure that this is nothing as the baby doesnt have any other abnormalities and initial blood screening at 12 weeks came back low risk. She said she is going to refer me to the Fetal medical unit consultant in the same hospital and get her opinion. We were sent home and in 3 hours I got a call from the hospital saying that the consultant has said that in her point of view the bowel is not echogenic and is normal. Therefore no further tests or scans needed. I was relaxed when they said that however my anxiety did not spare me
I kept thinking why the sonographer suspected a bright spot and not the consultant. I wrote an email explaining my concerns to the consultant directly and she said to put my mind at rest she will do that scan by herself this monday and go through the baby's organs.
Instead of me being happy about this, my mind is so worked up and thinking why she wants to scan me again. Is she not sure and wants to double check if what she said is right or what is it ...i am nervous, panicking and constantly worrying on what this scan would bring up
I am not sure where to go and share this. My questions are has anyone gone through a similar experience when the sonographer suspected something and the consultant has cleared that off saying nothing to worry and ended up having healthy babies?
Any positive experiences will greatly help me. Please talk to me and help
I have attached the report in which the suspected echogenic bowel was written and the comments written by the consultant
