Cystic hygroma

just went to my 12 week U/S appointment with a maternal fetal specialist since my panorama test came back high risk for monosomy x (turners syndrome). They measured the cystic hygroma and it was 8.3cm!!!!!! The heart rate was good, good size for the baby and everything else looked good. Have my next appointment in 2 weeks to see if it has gotten any bigger. Has anyone had a similar scenario? Any input would be greatly appreciated. TIA

    Hi Danie. I'm sorry to hear you're in this situation :( we found out at our 12 week uc the baby had a CH measuring 5.3-5.7, they immediately sent us the following morning for the cvs test, we also opted to do the microarray and noonans. It was the longest couple of weeks of our lives. Fortunately all of our tests came back normal. We were sent for an early ekg on the baby at 16weeks and the Dr saw nothing of concern. We went for a follow up uc after the ekg and the CH is still present. Its all a waiting game from this point out. It will be extremely stressful for you especially at the beginning when the counsellors go over all the different outcomes. You need to be strong and positive. Even with all of our great results we have received it's not any easier bc we just don't know what we are dealing with. After our 20wk sono we will most likely go for a second opinion due to the horrible bedside manner and negativity we felt from our current Dr. I hope this helps a little and helps you find a bit of peace with what you and your family are going thru. Good luck with the peanut and keep us updated. We have each other to lean on

    Hello, I've been in the same situation, my baby's nuchal was 7.8mm , did the cvs and thankfully it came back okay! But my 20 week scan last week they said they are still concerned with the increased fluid and I am waiting for my microarray to come back, have been waiting a little over a month now, praying those come back normal, and if they do then they still said there is a 5-20 percent chance of there being a rare chromosome problem or something else that cannot be seen until birth - they just worry me like crazy but at the same time it's important to remember that I was given a 1 in 20 chance that my baby would have Down syndrome or a heart problem which he doesn't ! Positive thinking! Fingers crossed all our babies will be healthy x
