This is now a support thread for those who have received an initial diagnosis of borderline ventriculomegaly at their anomaly scan.
*************************************
Hello lovelies.
My little active man is doing so well but yesterdays scan showed the ventricles in his brain slightly enlarged (0.1mm about the normal range).
It's not a lot and may well resolve itself over the next couple of months, but after losing his big sister to a poorly head, naturally I am pooping my pants. We have a consultant appointment next Thursday, so Google and BnB will have to suffice in the meantime
On the up side his growth seems fine, he's VERY active and he responds to the sonographer's touch (turning over when commanded ) so neurologically he seems fine at the moment. I think we just have to hope it doesn't grow. I guess that means we get to see him more often anyway! We've not yet seen any soft markers for Downs, and his hands are open which seems to rule out Edwards Syndrome. Though I anticipate yet another (our third!) anomaly scan to check these things closely.
Anyone had any experience with this? Am trying to stay calm and carry on planning for his arrival....
