Nuchal translucency 4mm and hydrops fetalis
I am devastated. I never thought I would write something like this, and here I am. On yesterday’s scan (12 weeks), they found nuchal translucency of 4mm and hydrops fetalis. The doctor was very sad to deliver me the news, she didn’t give me hope at all. She told me to wait for my nifty results, but… she wasn’t hopeful. She advised me to think about terminating the pregnancy. All day I am crying. My jaw hurts, my head hurts, my eyes hurt. I don’t think I will recover from this. I don’t think I will want to ever get pregnant again. I just want my baby to be fine. I want it to live.
For the record, everything else looked fine. It has a nasal bone, heart beat, and everything looked fine. Except NT and hydrops fetalis, which is a very dangerous condition, as from my internet research.
Can anyone please share something, if they know? Should I have hope?
