Has anyone had a success story. Fluid around baby's heart and lungs not developing

[tabzfrench26]

I was told there was fluid around my baby's heart when I was 12 weeks and was sent to a specialist. The fetal dr told me there was a large amount of fluid around the heart and was causing the baby's lungs not to develop and it could be caused by a chromosome abnormality. I am currently 14 weeks pg, but the baby is now measuring at 16 weeks. The dr told me if I went full term the baby had no chance at surviving and I should consider terminating the pregnancy. Has anyone gone through this? Is there any hope that anything will change or should I highly consider my options? Please respond asap.

I am a success story if that's what you want to call it. Fluid around my lungs + heart not developing.  When I was born, I was actually dead: -( they had to pump my heart, and suction the water outta my lungs. Well. 25 tears later I'm alive & I hope all the best:-)

My little boy had this and they kept scanning me every week and every scan I went to the told me to terminate. I refused I said if it happens it happens. My son is now two and is currently emptying his dad's work backpack. He does have Down's syndrome but his heart and lungs are fine. As is every other thing about him. I'm sorry that you are going through this as it's extremely stressful. I would advise you to do what you think is best as sometimes even the sonograms get it wrong.

I think you should get a second opinion. Do what you think is right for you and baby! Dr's make mistakes all the time! You've gotten this far. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I hope everything works out
