Head's in a mess right now so apologies if this makes no sense.
Went for my 12 week scan today ( 12+4 by my dates, 12+1 by scan). Baby was very active, arms and legs everywhere, all seemed good.
Then she pointed out a "halo" of fluid around baby's head and said that it indicated a high risk of chromosomal abnormalities. There is also "significant fetal oedma".
My scan report says - "There appears to be a septated fluid collection at the back of the neck consistant with a cystic hygroma. Significant fetal odema is also noted. 20 week scan to be booked by Preg,Day Care if required."
Got an appointment to see a specialist on Thursday (glad they could get us in straight away) to have genetic counselling and probably a CVS.
Done some research online (bad idea) and it doesn't look good from what i've read.
Please if anyone has experience of this please reply, i need to prepare myself.
