we had a scan yesterday and baby may have abdominal defect which can indicate chromasonal problems like ds and edwards syndrome 
,the good news is the nuchal measurement were in normal range also it could be that the stomach wall has not quite closed properly due to the age i have to go back next week and be rescanned to see if it gone back in, and also talk about a cvs cus of my age they have refered me to the fetal medicine unit so it could be nothing or it could be fatal for baby we are in limbo but im trying to be positive cus the nuchal measurement is good and if it is only the abdominal wall defect the outcome is really good with surgery im praying to god its ok cus this is my last chance really im 42 in feb this is why they are concerned cus im high risk so we have a rough road ahead i was so happy to see baby wiggleing all over then they hit me with that like a ton of bricks but there is nothing we can do but wait UPDATE i spoke to the midwife tday and she said with the good nuchal result and been early on still theres a chance they will still go back in and you can clearly see the nasal bone which is usually missing with downs etc so im not going to worry to much till ive been to the fetal meds team on the 30th if there is an abdominal defect but even if there is the outcome is good with surgery and bristol childrens have the best unit for this sort of thing they come from all over the south west so things may just be ok fx UPDATE scan went well baby has grown loads they have put me at 12 +3 now they are still not sure if it is a hernia or not but its small they cant see anyother problems and nuchal measurement is 1.2 so good but i have to go next week again so they can get a better look and if there is they are doing a cvs cus this sort of abdominal wall defect is strongly associated with chromasome problems at least we will have an answer soon and im sure i saw girlie bits !!! but we will see but keeping positive till we know any different but ill keep you posted xxxx
