| Wendy, have you taken a triple screen blood test? At 20 weeks my baby had a spot on the heart and dialated kidneys. I was so terrified because of how they talked of downs syndrome. I went back at 34 weeks and the spot on the heart was gone and only one kidney had a little dialation. I was told my risk of having a downs baby was very small and would be rare. I also have a friend that got an ultrasound and they told her the baby's nasal bone was missing....then when she went and got her second ultrasound there was a nasal bone and it looked great. I guess my point is sometimes its hard to get exact measurements in ultrasounds and all it does is scare you. Im sure you are terrified right now, but I bet you anything everything is fine w/ your baby. If I were you, I would go get a level 2 ultrasound. Get a referal of a genetics counselor from your doctor. Not that I think you have anything to worry about, but they can help put your mind at ease, and get some better measurements. Hope this helps :) good luck to you. ↑ |
