High risk of genetic

Hi, today I went for my 12weeks1day ultrasound. Dr found out baby head and body is swelling. Ask to go back next week for genetic test. Anyone encounter before this? Will baby back to normal again?

Oh sending you so much hugs right now because I can imagine how scary and shocking it must have been to receive this news today! The swelling the doctor mentioned could be referring to increased nuchal translucency or hydrops, and I won't lie to you, the genetic test next week is really important to get more clarity on what is happening with your baby. Please don't Google too much tonight because it will make you more anxious, just lean on your husband and family for support, and most importantly go for the genetic test first before drawing any conclusions because only the doctor can give you the proper answers and next steps okay, you are not alone in this! 🤍

Hi mama, I can hear you're worried, and that's completely normal. This one better not wait, please go back for that genetic test next week like the doctor said, and don't hesitate to ask the doctor all your questions about what the swelling means and what the next steps are. They'll be able to give you the clearest picture once they have the test results. Sending you strength through this.
