Anomaly Scan worries :( - Re-scan tomorrow. *Update*

[Lucyjo81]

I had our Anomaly scan today - first off we found out we are team

All measurements were spot on - more so on the bigger percentile already haha, however the concern the sonographer had is that there was no fluid in his stomach. Now she said she wasn't overly worried but would like me back for a re-scan tomorrow to see if there is fluid there.

Now, silly old me had a look on google - this is what i found - Usually when there is no fluid, 9/10 times it means it is a possible esophageal atresia - which means the esophagus is not connected to the stomach intestines and the rest of the digestive tract. This would require surgery right after birth to repair this.

I have to go to tomorrows scan alone as my DF has to stay home for a delivery and look after our DD, i'm worried it will be the worse case scenario.

Has anyone else had anything like this and all has worked out ok? xx

Aw hun never ever google !!
Honestly try not to worry go for the re scan it might just be baby in wrong position so it looks that way that's what happened to my friend it looked empty but wasn't
Hope all is well

At my 20 week scan with ds the sonographer couldn't get a good view of his tummy and she said it had very little in it. I went back the following morning and it was fine. I then also ended up with too much fluid at the end of my pregnancy and sometimes this is linked to stomach issues to so I worried all over again, only to end up with a perfectly healthy little boy.

Try not to worry and see what happens at tomorrow's scan, good luck

No advice other than google is the devil! Lol.

Stay positive hun, will keep everything crossed that it was just baby in an awkward position and that tomorrow he'll play ball and all will be well.

Good luck xx

Went back today for scan and everything was on track. Sonographer could see baby's stomach, filled with fluid, so we have a perfectly healthy baby boy xx

Hi love, I'm a sonographer. We see this sometimes and by the next day there is fluid. Sometimes it just means they haven't swallowed amniotic fluid in a bit. See how you go tomorrow. Good luck! It will be fine xx
