BR: Scare with the baby

I know many of you are mothers and I would love your opinions. Today DH and I had our anatomy scan. We aren't finding out so to us it was just another ultrasound.

I know many of you are mothers and I would love your opinions.

Today DH and I had our anatomy scan. We aren't finding out so to us it was just another ultrasound. The tech took all the measurements needed (I didn't realize that they measured EVERYTHING). The ultrasound goes on for about 50 minutes and then the tech says "ok let me just see what consult room is open". My heart dropped to the floor. I looked at my DH and said they don't take you into consult rooms to tell you good news. He is trying to reassure me as we walk down the hall. We walk into the room and I see a box of tissues on the table. I look at DH and say "and those aren't tissues for tears of joy." Twenty LONG minutes later a dr I have never met comes in and sits down. She introduces herself as the high risk doctor.

    Jessica, I can't thank you enough for sharing your story with me. It made me feel so much better knowing that someone else went through this as well. The doctor told me many women go through it but I needed to hear it from a real live mom that it was ok.

    We decided to NOT find out what we are having Smiley smile I did thought I heard the ultrasound tech say she but then 10 mins later he said he. I think the tech was just messing with me.

    Of course, I used babycenter religiously while I was pregnant and if it wasn't for some real life mom's who went thru the same thing, it would have been much harder for me to go thru. I completely understand how you're feeling.

    oohh yay!! We didn't find out either!!!!!!!!! It's the greatest surprise you'll ever get in life!!!!! It was amazing Smiley smile When are you due?

    If they said the baby is ok I would just try to trust them and relax. I know it's easier said than done. When I got my AFP done with my son they said it was abnormal and there was a risk he could have Down's Syndrome and I had to go through a whole series of testing. Which resulted in weeks of me freaking out and worrying. When all was said and done the tests were negative and my doctor said they have to tell you things that might scare you for no reason in case something does happen you can;t accuse them of not informing you. Good luck and I really hope everything goes ok for baby.

    My son had the same type of cyst and everything turned out just fine!!! He will actually turn 1 tomorrow. We went for an ultrasound and follow up MRI after he was born and everything was clear.

    Thank you everyone! I feel like I know in my brain that the baby is fine...it's my darn emotions that won't keep a lid on it. Lol. I swore when I closed my eyes last night I saw the words choroid plexus cyst on the inside of my eyelids. Cyst is such a scary word...if it is harmless can't we call it something else? Like a choroid plexus rainbow? How much better does that sound!

    Jessica: I am due on August 8th but am already measuring 2 weeks ahead. Now they have me on prednisone for some unknown rash so the baby is going to just keep growing Smiley smile
