I'm 21 weeks nd my baby has hydrocephalus

Has anyone, or is anyone going thru this? I'm only 21 nd this is my first child. She has isolated hydrocephalus Which pretty much means she has water on her brain for no reason. It's not genetic. I'm so scared nd I just wanna cry all the time. I don't know how to deal with this...

I am 22 weeks along with our second baby and we were told that our baby has a heart problem- his right heart ventricle is smaller than the left. It is a completely different situation, but I also feel like you... we are seeing a fetal specialist in 4 days time and I'm terrified. Keeping you in my prayers- I believe that God can heal our babies before they are born

The doctor told my mom that I had a sist on my brain when I was in her belly and also told her that my older sister was going to be downsindrome. Neither of us has anything wrong. We're perfectly healthy. But what I'm saying is they're not always right and if they are I hope everything turns out good for you and ur little baby!
