Well today I went to see my gynocologist (I'm in Italy and they do it all differently here) and he did another transvaginal scan. At the beginning he was smiling and then I could see something was wrong. He basically said that he could see some shadows on the brain and he wasn't sure what they were and that I should go to the hospital tomorrow morning and get a proper scan with his colleague as he is worried that the baby is brain damaged and I may have to have a termination.
He also said that he wasn't sure of this and he could be wrong as he's not an expert in scans but obviously that just set me off and I was in floods of tears. The baby was moving and the heart was beating but he just couldn't figure out the shadows. I then had to go back to work but I went straight to see my office manager and told her I wouldn't be in tomorrow as I had to go to hospital and that I'd explain it all better later. She was really nice luckily and sent me home, I've just been in floods of tears since then, I can't believe this is happening to me. If the baby is alive and the heart is beating fine please god let it be ok.

Massive long shot but has anyone been through anything similar?
 
Honey, I cant offer advice, but hold on there, maybe he is not a specialist and just doesnt know? He shouldnt have scared you if he doesnt know! hugs xxx
 
I know, I need to be positive and what will be will be but ffs, I feel awful :-(
 
Oh sorry hun, just remember he said he wasnt an expert, it may not be anything to worry about. Hope all is well when you got for scan tomorrow. xxxxx big hugs!
 
hang in there hun, im thinking of you xx

Thanks girls, I'm a nervous wreck but at least he's sending me to his colleague straight away and the wait isn't so long.
 
Oh my goodness Binzy :hug: :hug: :hug: I really do hope that it's just because he's not an expert and that is just normal development of your baby. What a worrying time for you, I really do hope and pray that everything turns out well tomorrow, wishing you the best of luck with it sweetheart xxx
 
Hope everything turns out ok for you, like he said, he's not an expert xx
 
Thanks I know he's not an expert but I'm kind of thinking he looks at scans all day long...
 
Listen hun; stay possitive and just hope for the best. Your in my prayers and i hope everything turns out to be okay. There are so many false alarms in pregnanct you just need to sit tight, relax and wait for tomorrow
much love xx

Oh how awful for you, my heart goes out to you!!! What a thing to be told and then just left hanging till tomorrow!! I really hope it all turns out okay hun - we'll all be thinking of you xxxx
 
awww sorry your going through this, put hang on in there till you have seen the specialist, its probably nothing to worry about, thinking of you x
 
Huge hug...what an awful thing to wait till tomorrow, no way id get any sleep! Like others say, he is no specialist but was right to voice something hes not familiar with. hope all goes well at the scan tomorrow honey xxx

sending you a massive :hug: chick xx Ten weeks is still VERY VERY early, the brain isn't even fully developed yet! x Most ultrasounds are very shadowy too, and sometimes the baby can develop little harmless cysts called Choroid Plexus Cysts that most always disappear as the baby develops xx I'm sure everything will be fine chick xx Keeping you very much in my prayers xx
