ladies... I need some good vibes for me and my unborn baby...
So, tomorrow we go back to the doctor. At our 12 week ultrasound we were so excited to go and see our first child. After the technician took millions of pictures, the doctor came in and told us that they found what is called a cystic hydroma behind the baby's neck. That day they gave us only a 10 to 15% chance for a healthy baby. They even scheduled me to terminate the pregnancy. That day they also did an amniocentesis, and mostly told us we were doing it just to make sure that whatever was wrong with the baby wasn't genetic, and it was just "one of those things" (as they put it). So, five days after my amnio, I get a call from the genetic counselor saying that the amnio came back normal. It was preliminary results, but normal. So obviously I canceled the termination. Then three days later she calls again, and all of the results came back normal. It is not a chromosome issue, and they ruled out many other things also. I was reading up on cystic hygroma's, and found out that ours was on the smaller end. And that there are many cases where the hygroma completely disappeared. I have been an anxious mess. After the amnio results came back normal, The percentage for a normal healthy baby went back up, with a 33% chance of there being another abnormality. So, tomorrow we go back, they will be doing the first part of an anatomy ultrasound but baby will still be pretty small (I am currently 16+2 weeks) so on July 7 we will be going back in for the rest of the anatomy scan. Which is where they will be looking closely at the babies heart, lungs, etc.
Tomorrow, please I just pray that the cystic hygroma has cleared up on its own. If the cystic hygroma clears up before 20 weeks then babies percentage of being completely normal and healthy is back to population percentage.
I been so anxious this last week awaiting this ultrasound tomorrow.
I am currently cleaning my house to keep my mind off of it, but it's obviously not working pictures now I'm sitting here posting this. :(
Please, put me and my son in your prayers. I have always wanted to and this little boy is making my life complete.
Please, I am putting all of the good energy I have out into the universe. Trying to keep a positive mind.
Have any of you ladies had to deal with a cystic hygroma?
