Will my baby have esophageal atresia?

[studiokay]

We are wracked with worry and looking for answers.  We have yet to see a stomach bubble on ultrasound after 4 different scans.  We were also told we have a single umbilical artery or 2 vessel cord and the baby has 1 enlarged kidney.  The perinatologist said we could be looking at an esophagus malformation or a neurological problem in the baby not being able to swallow although he could not guarantee which (or whether either) would be present at birth.  I asked for liklihoods or probabilities that my baby will have a problem and he would not say either way.  With the combination of these findings, my gut tells me we will be facing something.  Anyone have similar findings on ultrasound (repeatedly)?  What was the outcome?

@kacey76, how did the ultrasound go? My Dr said my baby had esophageal atresia due to my high levels of amniotic fluid. His kidneys and bladder looked good but his stomach was small. Now I have to go to children's hospital to get an MRI and meet with a genetics counselor and pediatric surgeon. This is very devastating and I don't know if I should get a second opinion. My levels went from 32 to 30 to lately 27. Im stressing out and about to make myself sick from worrying. Just wondering if anyone else like this had a good outcome.

At week 20 our little girl was diagnosed with SUA and one kidney.  With DNA blood tests, we have ruled out Trisomy 3, 18, 21 and thought we were in the clear.  At week 29 we were told that the stomach is not visible and that my amniotic fluid was high.  We go back in a week for another ultrasound to confirm and if the results are the same, our doctor said he would put us in touch with a pediatric surgeon.  That's when my panic set in.  He said it could likely be some sort of blockage that could be fixed once the baby is born, but wouldn't elaborate much more than that.  I guess we'll learn more after our ultrasound this week.
