The consultant kind of explained what this meant, but basically they go around the houses, told me not to worry and come back in 2 weeks for a further scan. The sonographer said the ventricle measurements were right at the top end and this is the reason for scanning again in 2 weeks to see if there is any change, if not, they will request a brain scan on the baby to see if there is water or blood on the brain. I understand the need to check into anything they see as abnormal or possibly abnormal, but the consultant told me really not to worry as this was quite a common finding and the chances of there actually being an abnormality is very small. I've been in turmoil all day and will be for the next 2 weeks. I have 3 other children, all boys, my pregnancies were all relatively normal and they are wonderful, and this little one is a boy too!!! No girls for me as this is the last one.
Can anyone shed a little light on my problem, or has anyone had a similar experience? I don't want to go through the next 2 weeks feeling like I do now.
