Obviously I won’t be having that drink I so desperately want.

I had my nuchal scan today at 11w4d. Baby looked great, heart beat was great. But of course the scan showed too much fluid built up behind my babies neck.

So I opted for the CVS which they did immediately for me. I need answers. I will love my baby no matter what happens. But I’m incredibly scared and feel like I can’t relate to anyone right now.

I didn’t think to ask how much fluid was there, because I wasn’t well prepared for this appointment. This is my first pregnancy and was just assuming everything would be normal.

I need to hear that others have had this happen to them and everything came back okay. My doctor basically made it seem like like there is a next to nothing chance that this will go away, or was a fluke. So I’m completely convinced that something is wrong and it will cause me to miscarry....

I know that this most likely means Down syndrome and I’m prepared for that. I’m not prepared to lose the most important thing in the world to me.
