ANOMOLY SCAN

in July 2015 Moms
I have my anomoly scan coming up in a few weeks and I can't shake the horrible fear of something being wrong! I don't know how to ease my anxiety over this, has anyone else been feeling this way? And am I being irrational? <3

    I think everyone has some kind of anxiety about this. Chances are everything will be fine

    Oh apologies to ladies else where in the world :) it's a scan at 18-20 weeks, and it used to check for any problems with the baby, and offers you the chance to find out the sex if possible :)

    Yeah I've been trying to occupy myself to keep those thoughts at bay, yeah I think doctors tend to give the worst case scenario maybe to help people prepare just incase, :)

    don't stress!

    last pg they said all sorts of things were wrong...soft markers for Down Syndrome, Stomach not developing right, Possible Dwafism... I was a ball of nerves crying and upset. At the follow up ultrasound? They were like who the hell did your anatomy scan... perfectly healthy!

    I think that's normal.  I only ask that DH be at two appointments, the first appointment when they try to find the HB and the a/s.  I figure if I'm going to need support, it will be at one of those appointments.  So no, it's not irrational. 

    Take what they say with a grain of salt and don't panic if at first something doesn't look right.  We always have a Level II u/s because DH had a cleft lip.  So first the tech comes in and does most of the scan then the doctor comes in and has a look as well.  With our first the tech told us she could only find one kidney and that it appeared there was something wrong with the umbilical cord.  Of course you start to worry, then the doc comes in and says that there are two kidneys and the cord is fine.  So there are plenty of false alarms, just try to remind yourself of that as well.

    Reading these posts made me feel a little better. I had an u/s at 16 weeks and they told me the babies heart isn't developing properly, has 2 cysts on its kidney and a cleft lip. I go to children's hospital at 20 weeks. I'm praying they are wrong!
