Okay.. So I got my anatomy scan for baby girl last week.. & the radiologist(my Drs office has an actual OBGYN radiologist do ultrasounds) kept taking measurements of her head and spent a lot of time on her head! She ended up telling me that she sees excess skin and/or fluid on my baby girls neck and she said that's associated with Down's Syndrome. My OB called later and said it could even be a tumor or it could be nothing.. Which scares the FUCK out of me.. I did end up doing the blood tests I originally opted out of doing to see if she has Down's. Has this EVER happened to anyone else? What was the outcome? It's not like if she has Down's it's the end of the world, because that's not it at all. Any parent would feel this way over that kind of news.. So please don't say "you'll love her even more" or "she'll be perfect either way" because I know that already and I get frustrated when people tell me that.

I was told this around 11 weeks by a stupid doctor. its called the nuchol fold. they usually do the nuchal translucency screening to check for the trisomies. but I've read the latest it should be done is 14 weeks cause thats when the neck is still visible. I was sent to mfm doctor and she said my baby could have had her head forward or backwards to make the neck look thick. turned out my baby was fine. I would get another opinion. especially if they aren't even sure. go with your gut

My MILs niece (idk what that makes her to me) anyways her son had I think the same thing or close they figured out later in her pregnancy what it was (I don't remember what it's called) but basically it was something with his brain and he had to have several surgeries after birth they were first told that he would die in the womb, then that if he survived delivery he'd die shortly afterward. He's almost 2 now and is THRIVING! His development is slightly slower then normal but other then that he's perfect. I don't want to scare you cause it could be nothing just the ultrasound showing shadows or things and it could be far far from what Issac has (the baby) but I just wanted to basically say this cause even if you're given horrible news anything is possible they didn't even think he'd make it to 30 weeks in the womb and he's showing all those doctors just what's up!!

Only God knows, whatever the outcome, only you know what actions to take then. It's like with my baby, the think she may have this thing called "Beals Syndrome" it's where the person can't fully extend their arms and have long fingers. but I think it's bs because my little girl can extend her arms all the way, and her fingers aren't long long.
