1st Appt, now just a waiting game :(

We had our first prenatal appointment a couple weeks ago.  The doc was concerned by some things on the ultrasound so she ordered another ultrasound to be done with a better machine than the ones in the room.  Since we were going on vacation the following week, she wanted this done the next day (Friday).  The doc called with the results.  The radiologist noticed some swelling around the baby's head and thorax - questionable fetal edema.  I was referred to a high risk OB (perinatalogist).  I spoke with him on the phone and he explained the possible causes of fetal edema and gave me some options for testing.  The causes included chromosomal abnormalities - Down's, Turner's Trisomy 18; an infection, or unknown causes and it could resolve itself.  He gave us options for CVS, Amniocentesis or a blood test at 12 weeks.  There is a very, very high risk of miscarriage with fetal edema.  We opted for a blood test at 12 weeks and another ultrasound.  So...that apt is on Monday, Sept. 8th.  We will have an ultrasound, meet with the OB and a genetic counselor. 

Oh and at our initial prenatal apt the doc found a mass on my right breast.  Thankfully I had that ultrasound today and everything looks good - normal tissue!

I'm still in shock.  Hoping that it resolves itself.  Super anxious.  Ugh.  Thanks for reading this long post....
