NT Scan not so happy...

I'm hoping someone has possibly gone through something similar....

I went for my NT scan yesterday and received some unsettling news. They said there is a mass on babies abdomen (possible omphalocele) also she couldn't get a good measurement because things didn't seem right (whatever that is supposed to mean). So basically OB is sending me back to specialty hospital because she has no idea what's going on. I feel so heartbroken and with the lack of info until my next appointment, I'm slowly falling apart.

Re: NT Scan not so happy...

  • Big hugs, hopefully they will be able to develop a plan, I know there have been big developments for omphalocele.

  • Hugs. I hope you get some answers soon.
  • Hope you get better answers.  @chickclg and I had a girl on our last board whose daughter was born with an abdominal omphalocele. She was a happy toddler when I knew her so I know there are good developments going on.

  • I had to look up omphalocele to find out what it was. A friend of a friend just had her baby girl a few months ago, she was born with abdominal omphalocele and they had to prepare for a worst case scenario. It turned out to be not as terrible as they expected it to be. I'm not FB friends with her so I don't know much about what's going on these days, but from what I can see, she's doing really well now. I can't imagine having to go through that in the first place, but like PPs said, there have been big developments.  If omphalocele ends up being the case, I would be willing to reach out to the person I mentioned to see if she would be willing to reach out to you for support and advice. In the meantime, hang in there and I hope you get more answers at the next ultrasound, better than t


  • Thanks for the encouragement! They didn't paint a very happy ending, yet I didnt get much info so it's been hard to process this all. 



  • I'm so sorry you're going through this! Hopefully they can provide more information at your next appointment- the waiting must be so difficult. When are the specialists able to see you?

  • Hugs. I hope you can get some more solid answers soon. I'll be thinking of you. 
  • This all sounds so stressful. When can the specialist get you in? I can't give any specific advice, but I will say that when I was pregnant with my son, there were some concerning things on ultrasounds that just turned out to be nothing once the specialists got involved. Try to stay positive, although I know it's hard.

  • We haven't heard from the specialist yet. It could take another day or two to hear from them on when the appointment will be. The waiting with unknown is so stressful. 



  • I'm so sorry you're going through this. What were they trying to measure that they couldn't, the omphalocele? I hope the specialist can get you in very soon! T&Ps!

    Thank you! I was in for a NT scan so they were trying to measure the fluid in the nuchal space. 



  • Gosh, I'm sure the waiting is so hard. I hope you get answers very soon!

  • Ugh, so sorry you didn't hear good news and unclear news at that. :( It does sound like you're in good hands though and whatever it might be, they are staying on top of it. I hope you don't have to wait that long and it turns out to be nothing serious!

  • Praying for good news.
  • We had a soft marker show up on our anatomy scan with our son and had to wait several days for the results, and then another week before we could see a specialist.

    I am so sorry you are going through this! Waiting is so hard, and I know for us Google was not helpful in the least. I hope you can talk to someone soon and get more information and I'll be thinking about you both! 
  • So sorry you're going through this @KaitieT I am hoping the specialist gets you in quickly and relieves some of your fears! Ps I know you're in IA, are you going to the U?

  • @NurseK2016 we will be headed back to the U. We have had great experiences there in the past so I'm happy to be going back. Appointment is next week so I'm trying to hold it together until then. I'm doing my best to keep the positive vibes going! 



  • Sorry you have to wait to figure out what's really going on and prognosis, etc.  I hope everything turns out well in the end.  Thinking of you and sending good vibes for your appointment next week!

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

  • I don't know really anything about this but I'm so sorry you are going through it. after a 20 week anatomy scan with my DD we had to wait awhile to see a specialist because of something they saw. Waiting was so hard. I hope you get in soon.

  • @KaitieT wishing you the best of luck at your appointment!!
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • how far along were you during the scan? you can have physiologic gut herniation around 12-13 weeks which can look scary... best of luck! 
  • 12 weeks - I have been misdiagnosed by this untrasound tech before so I'm still holding out hope. But I'm also trying to prepare myself for the worst. 



  • Were you able to get an appointment with the specialist yet? Thinking of you and fx its nothing after all!


  • @KaitieT good luck today! Hope you get some good news

  • praying it goes well for you today! 
  • Good luck today! Very hopeful we'll hear good news!
