enlarged ventricle???

mcneelys2005 · October 2012

So we had an ultrasound yesterday and they said my baby boy looks wonderful but they want to keep an eye on a ventricle in his brain. I guess it's just slightly above normal. I shouldn't have googled anything and took their word for it they said he doesn't have any other issues and sometimes there is a variation of normal. Was wondering if anyone else had this ? I feel like everything is fine but it's a little stressful.

Didn't know the brain even had ventricles ... have only heard of them being in the heart. Go wiith what your medical team says, they will point out a lot of things along the way which can be scary but it shows that they are watching your LO.

We had the same thing happen with our first baby. Totally freaked me out when I googled it. We did lots of monitoring, extra ultrasounds, etc... By a few weeks before the due date the ventricle was back within normal range. Our son is a perfectly healthy 19 mth old with no developmental issues. I have heard it's common in boys that it can actually be a sign of being advanced. Which, our son is in some areas. Hope this eases your mind a bit.

Thanks ladies. It definitely helps there is so much out there. What I also know too is that most women don't have ultrasounds as often as I do so most people wouldn't get every little thing picked out like that. I have also heard it is normal and more common in boys so I am just hoping in a few weeks its back to normal. She did say too that they worry when this happens earlier in pregnancy as opposed to later and im in my 33rd week so I am getting close!
