Referred to the specialist ☹️

Anne

Hi all,

Went for my anatomy scan last Tues (22wk+1) baby was measuring upto 2 weeks smaller in most places (apart from the brain). She said that we had to have a repeat scan to check heart and stomach as she couldnt get the best view.

Fast forward to this week (23w exactly) been told that the baby's heart doesn't look the typical 'v' shape at the bottom and that as my Dad had a birth defect of the heart, we're being referred to a specialist.

I'm petrified and done the worst thing ever-googled it!

To make things worse my other half asked the lady if the lady at the previous knew of this and her response was that it was more than likely that she did and didnt want to be the bearer of bad news!

I'm worried sick! No comment on beat/rate and it looked like it was pulsing away fine. I noticed that she did type in both left and right ventricle too in separate photos.

Just worried sick- any one had anything similar?

Thank you
