20-week anomaly scan – what to expect?

[esgill]

I have mine tomorrow and I'm really nervous. How long is it? What kinds of things do they say? How is bad news delivered?

Hi , I have had a really bad news at 20 week scan ,
hydrocephalus , bilateral ventroculomegaly , no hind brain , meningioceal , large bed hypo plastic lungs and club foot . They are suspecting edwards syndrome but have offered termination . I am devastated I have tried looking into all of this and cannot justify to baby being born with all these difficulties. Sometimes I say even if we repair the heart defect nothing can be done about brain and lungs . Please some one help

Oh @Tensionmama I am so so sorry. Is there any possibility things might improve and some of these issues might resolve themselves?
If not I think I’d be the same in that I couldn’t justify giving birth to a child that would have all those difficulties.

@Tensionmama sorry for your news.

You need to talk to someone in real life.
