DH and I went in for our 1st tri screen last week, and our baby has a
cystic hygroma with a measurement of just under 5mm. We were told that
this increases the risk of our baby having a chromosomal abnormality
from 1 in 800 (based on my age - 27) to 1 in 10. We had a CVS done on
Friday to give us a definitive answer as to whether or not the baby has
an abnormality. Right now, we're waiting the 10-14 days for the
results.
I am wondering if anyone else received a similar diagnosis from their
1st tri screen, and what the end result/current status is of your
baby. What was the size of your baby's hygroma; did you have testing
done; what was the outcome, etc.? Since you ladies are much further along
than I, I'm hoping that you can provide a longer term picture of what
we may have awaiting us.
Thanks so much in advance, and best wishes to anyone who has gone or is going through the same stress we are.
