Enlarged celeberal ventricles

I went to an early scan (w 8). Everything looked ok according to my doc except for enlarged brain ventricles. What does this mean? I am very stressed about this as I had a m/c in dec (I got PG right away). What are you able to see so early on a featus? I insisted they do another scan w 11, but they said it was not necessary... I am so confused and I need some help. All I have read about enlarged ventricles is regarding babies in w 12 and up...

Pls help. I have a hard time relaxing after this statement by my doctor.

Yes I will go on the 11 w scan as scheduled and if anything showes unnormal I will FORCE them to do another in w 12.

Do anyone know what this can mean (enlarges ventricles)? My doc did not tell me anything, just said it looked like they where too large. The other doc told me not to worry (as that is possible..., thatthe pic was taken from a funky angle... hmm...

I'd insist on them doing a NT at 12weeks. It's a more in depth u/s.
