Hey Ladies,
So I went to the doctor last night to get my results from my 20 week anatomy scan. She was telling me how everything looked good except that there was a discrepancy with the picture of the heart. She said that there was a line that they usually see that the tech put a question mark because she didn't see it. She said for me not to freak out that she just wanted me to go to another hospital and get a better sonogram on a more high tech screen to look at the heart. Of course I freaked crying all night. I mean she had just finished saying how my risk of Downs was like 1 in 12,000 or something and then she said this was a potential marker for it so I was just like what the hell is going on. I am trying really hard to just think that maybe the baby was just being active and they didn't get a good enough picture. Its so hard not to get nervous because I already feel like a Mom and I just want my baby to be healthy. I have to call today to make the appointment. My doctor, Husband, and family all didn't seem as concerned as I was because the doctor said that usually with downs syndrome it wouldn't be just one issue it would be a bunch of issues like the fingers would have something wrong and the brain and what not. This pregnancy stuff is hard! Its such an emotional rollercoaster! I am a worry wart to begin with and I was looking forward to a great report so I could finally relax, but hey I guess this comes with the territory of being a parent right?
Hope all of you are feeling well and welcome Lisa yayyyy
