I'm so sorry to hear that!! When my doctor told me that ours may have something wrong she said at least it's not in the brain. Which no matter what it is, it's scary to think about. I really hope you stay strong, and hope everything will be ok with little man :( keep me updated as I will let you know how my apt goes as we both have apts on Tuesday.Quote:

Ladybugs - I answered on the other thread. HUGE HUGS to you right now!! I agree with Soar - God is in the miracle business! Hold onto that!
Meeks and Emily....I appreciate the support, I too don't know enough/a lot about kidney issues, but what I do know is that it will be a long 6 days!!!!
Fourtimesthecharm....heart and brain look good here too...that is the big worry and if those come out good, I have to think that the concerns are able to be dealt with. That is part of what is keeping me sane and that Soar and Myrainbowgirl are so right that God is a miracle maker. I will keep you all posted of this little guy.
Wishing you all healthy and sweet bundles!!
Ladybug- so sorry you have to go through this:( How stressful! Praying the time goes quickly for you until your next scan and everything turns out perfect.
Fourthtimesacharm- You likely wouldn't see anything from that angle. One ultrasound with DS2 we didn't see anything on the potty shot at 24 weeks and then with one move of the wand his whole package popped out lol. Don't give up hope!
Meeks, Myrainbowgirl & Emily - Thanks for the encouragement ladies! I'm hoping it moves up like it does in most cases. I also have an anterior placenta so I've read that if I was to need a c-section it makes things a lot more complicated so that's my main concern. My tummy has only just started really showing now so hopefully all this growth means moving placenta :)
Ladybugs - I am so sorry to hear. The fact at both ultrasounds they didn't have a great angle of the baby is hopefully a plus because I know if things aren't exact it can really mess up what they see! I don't know anyone who's experienced kidney issues with a baby so I can't give advice for that but I do know exactly how you feel. DS2 had a cyst in his brain at my 20 week ultrasound which is a big marker for Trisomy 18. I literally lost my mind for the week or two I had to wait to have a follow up ultrasound, it was horrible. I went back though and the cyst was completely gone and he's a happy healthy 20 month old (singing 'rain, rain go away' at this exact moment!) I really hope you go back and get a great report. I'm sorry you have to go through this, I know all to well how scary it can be!
MsB I had low laying placenta and it moved up. Also had friend with it and it also moved.
Lady bugs so sorry re kidneys. It's all so frightening. When will you know more?
I'm also in the scary boat as I had my 20 wk scan and it showed the bowel as being a bit bright. She said it was mild but as far as I can tell its still a soft market. Had bloods taken to see if I carry cystic fibrosis gene and to test for infections. Hopefully it will be nothing!! Anyone else experienced this?
Tree - I'm sorry to hear your news as well! I don't have any experience with this specific issue, but I do know when I was talking to my OB about how I was concerned about my upcoming 20 weeks scan a few weeks back she told me that in her whole career she has never seen a baby be born with a Trisomy from only one soft marker. That at least has to mean that it's extremely unlikely! Hoping your bloods come back okay for CF!
Tree - Oh no, so sorry! But I think Ms. Blakely is right on the money...chances are very, very small that there's a big issue! Will pray everything's all right!
I don't know about the rest of you, but my goodness, all these scares are really starting to put some perspective on the GD thing. Not to minimize GD, but that by far the most important thing is for a healthy baby. Trying to really let that sink in!
Tree-Sorry to hear that but I agree with everyone that 1 soft marker is not a sign of trisomy or it may not be anything at all! Praying for the later! Although its still scary and I understand your concern for sure! Keep us posted!
Rainbow-I agree all mommy really wants is a healthy baby! It does put GD into perspective!
AFM-I had my 16 week check up today. I gained 9lbs in 5 weeks. How did that happen? Oops! Also he was concerned it could be a sign of high blood pressure. That is something i have dealt with in all my pregnancies! So could be a reason for the weight gain. Although my BP was good. Also, My gender scan is booked for Tuesday, August 27th at 10:30amCST! I am beyond nervous now but it's time to find out so start the count down! I will be 19w5d at that point! I think we have decided we will have the tech write it down so my DH and I can open it alone. That's the plan for now at least!
Mine is anterior too, and so was ds1. I had a Caesarian with him in the end and it wasn't an issue, just slower and more careful going for them. You will be fine hon!Quote:
