I'm sorry I have no advise, but all I can offer now are prayers that everything will be okay. My daughter's head was measuring small for her gestational age and the docs were very worried. I also had very low amniotic fluid. She caught up later on. When she was born everything seemed fine. Then a few weeks later I noticed her forehead seemed flatter on one side and her eyebrow didn't seem even. I trusted my gut and went to a neurologist, and after a CT scan found out she had right coronal craniosynostosis. It is a condition where 1 or more openings of the skull has closed. So, the brain has trouble growing properly and can cause developmental delays, seizures and blindness. She had surgery at 5 months old, where they re-opened her skull and re-arranged her bones. She is doing great now. I hope whatever your baby has is treatable. Will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.

I had a very similar thing happen. I had to wait two weeks for the full amnio results. Worst two weeks of my life. It turns out that while there are no chromosomal issues, there are some heart and brain problems. That is really scary, but it can be fixed with surgery after birth. For me, the worst part of the whole situation was waiting. Try to stay busy and don't look anything up on the internet. Try to stay positive and remind yourself that everything could end up being fine.

Hi update from results

Test results came back normal for the 3 main chromosome disorders they check for - Downs, Edwards and Patau (sp?) So we're quite happy about that!! Although it still doesnt explain why baby is so small and what is causing this fluid and skin thickening! So.... we're going back on Monday for another scan with the consultant and to discuss other things. The results of the rest of the amnio should be back in about 2 weeks so hopefully they will be normal too!

So dont really know how to feel at the moment - happy cos of thoses results but scared cos there is still something wrong with baby. Does anyone know what the fluid and small baby could mean as they dont seem to be suggesting anything to us and google is rubbish!???? Has anyone had small baby and then it has grown?? The midwife said that if I did go above 22 weeks, then a termination would become a lot more difficult after this time. But now my results wont come back till I am 22 weeks so....!!!

Thank girls for all your replies so far - this forum is a god send - its about the onlt thing keeping me sane - this and my hubbie!!! xxxx

My friends 2 dd's where small babies both went full term and where less than 5 pounds you wouldnt know the difference between them and my children now as they are the same sizes. If your results have come back negative i would try not to worry.

Abortion is an individuals choice ive had 2 friends end there pregnancies at 20 weeks due to major issues both of which gave birth to their babies who survived for an hour or so, im not sure why deciding to end a pregnancy at 22 weeks would make the birthing experience any more difficult?
