Spina Bifida...

I had an elective gender scan on Monday. I got a call from my OB today telling me I needed to come in ASAP but wouldn't elaborate on the phone. I had my husband come with me. The Dr. told me that the results of the gender scan get sent to a high risk Dr. in Omaha. The Dr. paged my Dr. on Wednesday at the hospital to tell him he is concerned with my ultrasound and the risks of Myelomeningocele. I have to wait until Jan. 8th to see the perinatologist. I feel like I am having a panic attack. I don't know what to do. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do until my appointment. I don't know how to prepare, what to say, how to feel. ..ugh

Oh no I hope everything turns out okay! I had a positive screen for spina bifida and before I had my ultrasound I was freaking out. I found a few forums on babycenter I think for parents with children with spina bifida and it really really made me feel better. Maybe you could look into those in the mean time? That and don't jump to any conclusions because it takes a highly specialized ultrasound to diagnosis it and your elective ultrasound was probably not that specific. Either way, hang in there! Not knowing for sure is the worst I know but soon you will have more answers.

when I was pregnant with my mini person, her screen came back positive for spina bifida. My o.b. at the time told me there were increased false positives if your pregnancy is not dated correctly or if you have the screens done later than recommended. We went to the u/s and baby was perfect. I'm hoping the same goes for you! 

Me - 32, DH - 32. We have been TTC #2 since January 2012.
BFP on 12/3/12, EDD 8/19/13, U/S 1/17/13 showed blighted ovum, d&c 1/24/13
BFP on 4/19/13, EDD 12/29/13, u/s 5/20/13 showed baby with heart rate of 180 bpm! Yea, baby! Daisypath Anniversary tickers  BabyFruit Ticker
