mortified!!

[ilovemykidz]

went in for a routine ultrasound yestarday, and i assumed everything was going great... i had my daughter with me and she fell asleep right beside me while they were doing it :)... but i got great pictures of the baby, and they even moved my due date up another week!!!! so i couldnt be happier

i called my husband after to tell him how good everything went and he was just thrilled.

then 1 1/2 hr later my dr calls me and says i have the results to ur ultrasound and i need to talk to you but before i start its a really long story so dont freak out just please listen... i started crying and got sik, thats a hell of way to start off a converstation.

anyway long story short he is scheduling me to see a specalist because my babys head is very large it is measuring in the 90th percentile and it should be in 70, his ventricles are extremely large, and he has fluid on his brain...
but no panic says the dr, it could be nothing. we just wanna run some further test to make sure!!!  i asked him whats the worse case sinearo and he says mental retardation... and then before he hangs up he tells me my appt isnt for another week and to try to rest easy because stress is not good for the baby WTF how am i supposed to rest at all.. i was up just sick all nite!!!

i hope they are just being over precautious and everything tuns out ok... keep us in ur thoughts please!!
and i hope everyone else is doing well!!

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, I would be mortified as well. Maxine is right, more often than not there is nothing to worry about, We'll be thinking of you and praying for you.

HUGS - I have read of some posts (on some other pg websites/board) with the same worries and in the end the baby was fine when he/she was born. Stay positive and hang in there....and I hope they are being over precautious which I rather they be than be nonchalant. HUGS again.
