12/06/09 17+3, time for the heart scan, the 1 i'd been dreading since the beginning of this pregnancy, the heart looks normal, he 'thinks' he can see 4 chambers, OMG what a relief the heart is fine, we got some lovely views on Sunshine moving around in there, BANG right theres babies chest, and there's babies stomach, see how it's right up there next to where the heart is. I felt my heart sink, wasn't sure what this meant but i knew the stomach wasn't suppose to be up there, that's when he said it 'i think your baby has what's called a Diaphragmatic Hernia.
A what? i'd never heard of it, he finished up the scan and then we went off for a 'chat' about it, where it wasn't explained fully but we got the point, there was a problem, why couldn't this just be easy, we'd already lost 2 we couldn't lose another.
He came back and gave us a picture of Sunshine and we decided to have the amnio done there and then as he advised it as he said it could be linked to a chromosome problem and with having the definite CDH anyway we all need to know exactly what we're facing. They arranged an appointment for us for the Tuesday to go up to the Queeen Mother's fetal medicine unit for another scan to confirm the CDH and go through it with us.
This felt so much like dejavu to 'THAT' scan with Nathan, both were on a friday, both had to wait till monday for confirmation and results etc, and both was the tuesday we were off to Queen Mothers.
