Hi there
I had the amnio this morning. Before she did it she did a scan of baby which didnt show good results unfortunately. The baby showed up measuring only 16 weeks (I'm supposed to be 19+6 according to other scans and dates!) and it also showed excess fluid and skin thickening around baby. She explained that this could be markers for the 3 chromosome disorders she's going to test for with the amnio and so its probably not good news. But she also did say something about the fluid being there can be caused by infection or something. Has anyone had any experience of being told this? She said that the best thing to do would be to do the amnio and get those results back and then we would go from there! If the results did happen to come back negative then she said we would still have to investigate as to why baby is so small and about the fluid!
So I am very numb at the moment and not sure what to do! I have hardly stopped crying since this morning.
Can anyoen give me any advice or anything?
Thanks
