I have sat here this afternoon and read your entire thread. Your situation almost mirrors mine. My baby was diagnosed at our 12 week scan with a 4.1mm cystic hygroma. I was given very thorough information about what this could mean by a genetics doctor but the entire conversation was very doom and gloom and carried a "sorry for your loss" tone. Needless to say I was devestated and an emotional wreck and I still have my momments. My husband an I decided to get the CVS test and the FISH and full test came back normal for chromosomes and we found out we were also having a boy. I have not had any other detailed scans since and I am 20 weeks in three days. I have had two prenatal appointments since and have had an US at each one, as I also have hypertension and I am considered high-risk so my prenatal doctor does one at every visit. So far Squirt has been growing on target, is very active and his heart beat is fine. At our scan last Friday my prenatal doctor said that he thinks that the CH has resolved and that he doen't expect them to find anything on the 20 week scan on Thursday. We also have an echocardiogram scheduled for October 24th to check the heart. I am very optomistic. This is our frist pregnancy. I can totally relate to the stress you are going through. It is such a wait and see kind of thing and I find myself experienceing such a huge range of emotions from anger, to anxiety, to joy, and sadness. I am angry that the diagnosising doctor gave us such little hope, as I feel like she robbed me of my joy. I should be happy and excited, but instead I have felt detached and unsure and then guilty for feeling that way. I feel like I can't really celebrate until after the next two scans. I did alot of research and found that there really isnt much out there. I keep reminding myself that so much is unknown. No one knows how many women who terminated their pregancies, and there are alot of them as this is the most common advice given women in this situation, would have had positive outcomes. we also don't know how many women had them at 12 weeks, but never got the scan because it is not available and then it had resolved by 20 weeks and they never even knew they had it. I also put into perspective what a positive outcome is, for many doctors I think that it is a 100% no complications pregnancy and healthy baby, where for me it is something that the baby can survive and is treatable and manageable. I found a lot of support from the babycenter support group, I never posted there but the success thread really helped me, and another website, which I can't remember but if I find it I will post it. That website's purpose was not support, but to inform doctors that successes do happen so that they will not immediately advise women to terminate. I fortunately was not advised that this was my only option but was told that I would probably have a very sick baby and that I would probably miscarry anyway. It was very frightening, but things are looking up. I can't wait to hear how your story goes and I will keep you posted as well. Hopefully we can post our success stories on these sites as well. Good Luck and thatnks for sharing your story.
