[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Your post wasn't helpful. I'm preparing myself as best I can for what the physician said were 2/4 possible outcomes. Taking it easy isn't it my nature, compiling information and being prepared while hoping for the best is. I haven't told anyone there is anything but an abnormal finding that requires followup. I was just asking whether other IVF moms with a similar profile had to do the same. [/quote]
Sounds like you’re enjoying the drama.  You don’t even have a diagnosis.  Seriously stop with the hysterics.  You’re going to have a hard road ahead of you with parenting if you act like this over a follow-up echo appointment.  Go get a prenatal massage or something.  [/quote]
Jesus Christ, wtf is wrong with you? Seriously, you are a garbage human. I pity everyone who has to have you in their life, especially your poor kids if you unfortunately have any. Go get some therapy.

OP, I've been where you are and agree it's smart to prepare ahead. Finding out additional information about possible scenarios can be empowering and reassuring even if (hopefully) it turns out that everything is fine in a follow-up, or very minor. I also did IVF and at one of the scans they were convinced they saw a ventricular septal defect in my baby's heart. But at the follow-up scan it had either resolved itself or they'd been mistaken at what they thought in the original scan, which was obviously a huge relief but the interim period was very nervewracking. I had another friend whose doctor saw a brain defect at a scan which also resolved by birth. Her doctor told her that we see all kinds of things in fetuses now that are probably perfectly normal blips in development and that often do resolve themselves as development proceeds, but of course 20+ years ago no one ever knew this was so common because the technology just allows us to investigate so much earlier now. So, fingers crossed that this is the case for your baby, but even if not, good on you for starting to look ahead and begin planning for treatment if necessary. Sending you lots of good wishes.[/quote]

Op here. Thank you for your support, compassion and sharing your and your friends story. I've been wondering a lot about how much we see and stress over now with the technology- a double edged sword if ever there was one. But I'm beginning to appreciate how even flagging something that might resolve allows for better preparedness on several fronts, and really am so grateful we are starting to understand any issues now rather than post delivery in a lower level NICU. Thank you for the good wishes, we will need them.[/quote]
