Hi all
had a bit of a shock at a 10 week scan I just had at EPU (went as had severe abdominal cramping). Baby is there and heartbeat present but they have told me there is excess fluid around the neck (3.6mm) - they like it to be under 3.5? And also fluid around the tummy 0.8mm.
they have told me this can indicate a chromosome abnormality or a potential heart defect.
they have booked me in for Monday (they wanted me in tomorrow but consultant is on leave) for a fetal medicine referral for a Nip test? (I think it’s called that).. I have no idea how long results take of that. They said this is the non invasive test for the 3 chromosome issues. This is before I will be even 12 weeks.. this is just based on the 10 weeks scan.
they seemed quite concerned and said it’s a 50/50 chance of something being wrong.
my mind is everywhere.
any success stories would be much appreciated.
🥺🥺🥺
