A/S appointment today...feeling scared!

We had our Anatomy scan and big 20 week appointment today and were so excited to find out the gender but were quickly deflated when our doctor came into the room...

Not it only could I see in his face that something was wrong m, but he was obviously upset, jittery and had a hard time looking at us... He told us that there is a concerning amount of fluid in the stomach and the diaphragm is not delevopes to the point it should be. There was something about a possible hernia but I honestly had gone kind of out if it by then. He said we were going to be scheduled for an appointment at our specialist hospital ASAP and prepared us that they'd most likely suggest an amniocentesis. 

I know there are other moms on here that have had to play the waiting game, and that is honestly the worst part. I know that we could find out anything from the scan was inaccurate and everything is fine, to our baby has a chromosomal issue like one that would affect baby's ability to survive out of the womb. And the not knowing is scaring me to death....

    So sorry girl I feel ya. We had our a/s three weeks ago and finally this Monday we meet with a specialist. This weekend is going to drag. Try your hardest not to worry until you know something definitive. My first pregnancy was high risk and they had me so worried and worked up the entire pregnancy. Turned out to have a perfectly healthy baby. Have faith and pray!

  • That's so rough. Like others have said, be gentle and patient with yourself (and your partner) while you do the stressful waiting thing.

    I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. Going on such little information without explanation (for now) must be difficult. I'm praying that you won't have to wait long and that you get some hopeful results. Take care in the meantime!

  • Like everyone has said, my thoughts are with you! At my 16w scan (im having twins so I get scans every 4 weeks) my DH and I were told that baby b has a congenital heart defect. We were refered to a specialist who didn't have an opening until 3 weeks later (this coming Wednesday). The wait initially was unbearable, but then I found comfort in the unknown and the ability to hope that things are as bad as they sound. Just know that no matter what the news is, youre gonna get through it. That's what moms do!
