Swollen ventricles in the brain

I just had my anatomy scan today and I would appreciate your prayers. They said there are a few things coming up that cause some concern such as: swollen ventricles in her brain, a small hole in her heart, and she is measuring a little bit small.
Has anyone else gone through this or know of anyone who has and what they had to do to help their baby or the outcome of it all?

We will see a specialist next week to find out if it really is serious or not and what sets we need to take. But I just want to hear more opinions and experiences. Thank you

    I'm so sorry. This sounds very scary.

    So sorry you got this news. There is a high risk bored that you may want to post on as well. Sending prayers your way! Take care of yourself until your follow up. I know it's hard, but try to stay off Dr. Google, in my experience it makes the waiting time so much more difficult.

    Sending so many positive thoughts your way. We just had 18 week US and they said her ventricles were englarged too. I would encourage you to take deep breathes, remain positive and keep the faith that baby will be okay. These measurements aren't always 100% accurate and often times the doctor just needs to say something due to legal obligations. Pregnancy is 40 weeks of mystery. It's unnerving and we all feel so helpless. Please keep us updated!
