I am 36 yrs old, have a 1yr old boy and 2yr old baby girl and am currently 12 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy. I have had no past medical problems what so ever. Never have I had surgery of any kind. Both my babys were born at full term one weight 7 lbs 7 oz. And my boy 8 lbs 8 oz. And both were delivered natural. This week I went for my 1st trimaster screening had an U/S and blood work done to check for down syndrom. I will get my blood work results in a week but on the U/S the doctor discovered two small cystic hygroma, one in each side of my 12 week old fetus neck according to the u/s. My doctor said this is a rare and serious condition though his known of some that the cystic hydroma have disolved, only time will tell if it will disolve and if it doesn t it can also take the live of our baby. We were sent to a fetal specialist and the 1st thing she mention was to do an amniosenthisis, we asked her how is that going to help our baby. She just through her hands up and said that s something that only God can heal, said what we can do is get us and you prepared if anything is not right. Now that personally does not help us any if that test won t help our baby any to fix those pouches of liquid, as all it will do is put our baby in high risk of the water bag to break when that needle gets inserted in to get that water sample out, We sure will not put our baby through that risk just to know the chromosone count. Our dr. Has explained to us already. We r aware of problems that maybe. We just can t explain why this fedal specialist give us this exams as 1st option when she knows and as we know that we still have time to see if this issue will disolve cause as far as we have research this can still go away within 18 to 20 weeks of gestation. Why didn t she mention that to us. We told her our self that info and that s when she told us and agreed yes that in some cases that could be the case. Please give me some advice.
