I found out yesterday that my Triple Blood test came back questionable for a spinal defect. I had an intensive ultrasound today, which showed the spine being okay and the brain being okay. My amniotic fluid is low at 8 CM, which is a bit concerning for us and the doctor.

I have been referred to a Fetal Specialist for more testing on Thursday.

All this could be due to my bleeding in early pregnancy or it could be a lot worse.

I am so freaking out right now!
 
:hugs: Try not to stress out about this and remain optimistic. It's great that the brain and spine were fine. Good luck with your tests on Thursday, I'll keep you in my thoughts!
 
im sure everything is going to okay =]
breathe
lol.
i will keep you in my prayers. =]
hope everything goes well.

its good the spain and everything is fine
it could have been just a technical error.

there not perfect you know lol.
 
Thats great news that everything looked good! except the fluid but they say drinking water can increase it. I hope everything goes alright! :hugs:
 
Thanks guys. The "not knowing" is the worst. Luckily, I am seeing one of the top fetal specialists for my general area.

I will keep everyone posted
 
The not knowing is the worst for sure :hugs:

I have no experience of this sorry but two things 1) stay clear of google 2) good luck Im sure everything is fine. Its obviously of concern but look at is as they haven't rushed you into a ward on an emergency < if you see what I mean :confused: x
 
Not knowing is horrible. My fingers are crossed, and I am sure everything is ok.
 
I'm glad babies spine and brain looked good. I'll keep my fingers crossed that your amniotic fluid start going up!! :hugs:

Thats very true and has been my biggest problem lately.

I think they can see most cases of spinal problems by ultrasound so thats very good news. As for the fluid, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I really feel for you & I hope it's all ok.
 
Thinking of you & crossing my fingers everything is ok...lots of :hugs:xx
 
Thinking of you, I hope you and LO are both doing well :hugs:
 
I hope the tests went well hun! :hugs:x
 
Thinking of you and hoping that we haven't heard from you because you're busy celebrating good news:hugs:
