Hi, new here pregnant with #3 looking for advice **UPDATE**

[Pink]

Hi everyone,

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my third baby and after two very easy straightforward pregnancies was very shocked to find out that this baby has mild ventriculomegaly. So, here I am searching the internet for any information I can find while we wait the two weeks until our next scan to see if the measurements have changed.

If anyone knows anything about this condition I would be very grateful.

I found this hun sounds a bit scary though

Ventriculomegaly is a brain condition that occurs when the lateral ventricles become dilated. The most common definition uses a width of the atrium of the lateral ventricle of greater than 10 mm . This occurs in around 1% of pregnancies . ...

Keep thinkin happy posotive thoughts

Thanks for looking... that's pretty much what the consultant told us as baby's ventricles are measuring 11.5mm. It's still mild at the moment, but could change either way or stay the same, we'll know more after the second scan.

I just wanted to let you all know that we went for our follow up scan and test results last week. Previously the baby's ventricles were measuring 11.5mm and I had an amnio and bloods taken for infection screening. Well, all the tests all came back clear and when they did the scan the ventricles were only measuring 8mm! So we have officially been signed off! I wanted to thank everyone who has posted - it really has meant a lot. Thank you
