NIPT neg but anomalies during anatomy scan at 20 weeks
I am 21 weeks pregnant, I have a healthy toddler and I had an early miscarriage prior to him. So far this pregnancy had been rough during the first trimester but as I was feeling better in my second trimester I got unfortunate news during our 20 week anatomy scan. My NIPT at 10ish weeks was negative for the big ones- T13, T18, T21…I don’t believe it checked for any micro deletions. But during my scan it was found my little boy has a bilateral cleft lip and palate, absent CSP, possible VSD(unable to clearly see) and a single umbilical artery. His growth is a bit ahead with a strong heartbeat and moves around like his older brother did.
I understand all these on their own are manageable with surgery and time, but the biggest concern is there a genetic component at play with further serious complications.
I am awaiting results from my amniocentesis and I have a fetal MRI coming up in a few days to check brain development.
I am a wreck and have felt so lost and out of it the last few weeks while playing this waiting game. I have read about the worse case scenarios and then I’ve come across scenarios where I know he may have some complications and minor delays but overall a healthy life.
I just want to hear other moms’ stories because I feel everyone says these things are rare but hardly discussed and now I feel so alone in this situation.
