A bit worried..

So yesterday we went for the first ultrasound, found out we're having a little boy :)

But also got some stressful news.. there's some fluid in the left part of the baby's brain. On May 6th, I'm going to have a more advanced ultrasound done so that they can look farther into it and make sure its not a problem.

Can't help but be worried bout my baby, just wanted to give everyone a bit of an update (considering I just disappeared out of the blue for quite a while....)

I am going through something very similar.. We had our 20 wk ultrasound on Tuesday and found out that we are having a baby girl!! My Dr. said that everything thing looks great but that he wants to take another look in 4 weeks because a ventricle in the baby's brain is measuring high normal.. the ventricles are what lets the fluid into the baby's brain.. he did mention that often times things like this correct themselves when they go in to take a look..I too had the Quad screen done and everythng came back good.. I know this is a scary time... Try your best to stay positive and be excited that you are having a wonderful baby boy!! Stressing will not be good for you or your little one.. I know it's easier said than done.. please let us know how everything goes.. you will be in my thoughts and prayers

They say it should probably resolve itself, but its so hard not to worry about my baby. And I almost feel as if I should've done something to stop it.

They also told me that its normally associated with Down Syndrome, but my AFP screening didn't come back abnormal, and that would have definitely shown us whether or not my baby has Down Syndrome...

Ugh, I just want May 6th to get here so bad.

I do go tomorrow to find out for sure if I have gestational diabetes or not, so I'm pretty content with getting to find that out soon.

Oh I am so sorry you are going through this worry!!  I really hope it turns out to be nothing serious and is something that can resolve itself over the remainder of your pregnancy.

All the best for your May 6th appt.  I look forward to your update.
