melitabonita · January 2014

We just had our first u/s yesterday and while we were so excited to see our baby for the first time, it was one of my saddest days. The doctor came in to inform us that thing didn't look good at all and pretty much told us there is something wrong with our baby. He gave us a referral to a specialist and we are doing the blood test.

I am so upset because I see other people that this happens to and they get some sort of odds like 1 in 50 etc. We were told nothing like that. I have done nothing but cry and I just don't even want to get on with my life as normal. I feel like my world just came crashing down.

I'm so sorry. When will you do the blood tests and have more conclusive results?

melitabonita · January 2014

They took my blood right after the u/s was over, so now its just a waiting game. They said 4-5 days. I have a feeling trying to schedule an appt with the specialist is going to be a huge pain in the butt.

TGager · January 2014

I am so sorry to hear this.

Maybe the Dr has a crappy bedside manner and went the drastic route instead of going over all the possibilities?

I hope everything works out for you and the baby is fine.

Brittalyse · January 2014

So sorry to hear this

Praying for you!

LilredmommaC · January 2014

Thinking of you...some doctors are the worst at delivering news. Hope getting in to see the specialist isn't too much trouble! Keep us posted.

I'm sorry melita, hoping for a positive outcome for you with your blood test. What did they see that indicated to them that something was wrong?

rattlecanqueen · January 2014

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I'll be keeping you in my prayers, for the best possible outcome!

They said that the nuchal translucency was very thick. He said thicker than he has ever seen. I could have sworn he said it was 4mm though an in looking online I have seen people with double that, so I don't know if he hasn't seen much, or what.

Ethanmom2008 · January 2014

I am so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine the pain you must be going through. Please keep us posted. We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers!

Artistmom30 · January 2014

So sorry you're going through this.

Parzia74 · January 2014

I'm so sorry you're going through this!! I had a friend who's baby had 4mm and turned out perfectly healthy! Is there another maternal fetal u/s place you can go to for a second opinion- before going down the road of seeing a specialist?

I hope everything turns out okay for you!

hupp0013 · January 2014

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope you get your results quickly! I hope everything turns out ok for you!

Thoughts and prayers ...please keep us posted

Ylvelill · January 2014

*hugs* having mine done today, so will be right there with you waiting.

Csltdk · January 2014

Please get a second opinion I had something similar ( I was told I had a partial molar due to the way my placenta looked) and they wanted to abort it and I went to a specialist and got a second opinion and he sees nothing like that- please please get a second opinion

melitabonita · January 2014

Thanks everyone for keeping me in your Ts and Ps. I will keep everyone posted.

Normally googling is bad but honestly googling has made me feel somewhat better.

I think the doctor had terrible bedside manner and if I find out everything seems to be ok with baby, I plan on filing some sort of complaint.

TurtleMonsters · January 2014

I'm so sorry!! I hope the doctor was flat out wrong. I'd consider a second opinion, unless the specialist will fulfil that and be better prepared to read the US.

splaster79 · January 2014

Keeping you in my thoughts....

abchittam · January 2014

Like others said, I hope this dr just had crappy bedside manor. Prayers that everything is fine and that you get positive results.

AnAtoZday · January 2014

Praying for your heart and that this doctor is wrong!!! Lifting you up. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this

cookieinva · January 2014

I am so sorry! I will be thinking of you. I hope you get more information and some answers, and hopefully it was just your dr sucking.

lizzybeth13 · January 2014

Definitely keeping you and your little one in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated! Hope that the blood test results come back with great news.

allardr · January 2014

Seems your doc was all negative and didn't explain much about what he saw just saying scary stuff. Not a fan, I think either a specialist or just a different doc's 2nd opinion would be great. Will be thinking of you and your little one.

cakebatter27 · January 2014

Prayers! Hopefully the blood work will show different results and you have a more compassionate doctor.

TRS48 · January 2014

Praying for you and baby that all is ok!

ahjahbaba · January 2014

I'm so sorry. Hang in there!

AnotherPreggo · January 2014

Oh how awful to have this wait. Hopefully your doctor was mistaken. Praying for you now.

kmawb · January 2014

Prayers for you sweetie! I agree with all the others on here, get a second opinion from a doc who actually has a decent bedside manner!

[Deleted User] · January 2014

I'm sorry. Your doctor sounds very thoughtless. I hope everything turns out okay.

JEChester · January 2014

So sorry you are going through this, hoping for positive results for the baby!!

taylorjeanne84 · January 2014

Sending prayers your way that the doctor was just an a$$hole and things aren't as bad as they seem. Hang in there mama.

brooklynesque · January 2014

I'm so sorry. I hope everything turns out okay.

youreggoispreggo · January 2014

So sorry that you are going through this! I'm hopeful that your blood test comes back quickly and has better news... It sounds like either way your doctor could work on bedside manner and helping patients understand what is happening.

AllisonLaurenn · January 2014

Stupid doc, get a 2nd opinion. No reason to scare you like that! Edit: I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you and your LO!

January Bride · January 2014

Sending you vibes. I am sorry the doctor wasn't better at bedside manner and wasn't able to explain things more thoroughly to you. That really frustrates me for you. I hope you are able to get answers soon.

stefaniew26 · January 2014

I know I'm late to reply in this thread but I just wanted to let you know that 4mm isn't that much more than the normal range of up to 3.5mm.
I'm sorry your dr had a horrible bedside manner. Just know that you've get a whole community praying for you and your little!
