Well, for starters this is my 8th pregnancy. Yes, my 8th. I have two children. I have had first and second trimester losses. My 8 year old was my 30 week preemie and spent a long time in the NICU with a ventilator, feeding tube, central line for antibiotics and had multiple blood transfusions. I had a cerclage and was on progesterone with him. Zoey is my 2 year old, she was actually a few days late and I also had a cerclage and was on progesterone. One of my 2nd trimester losses was due to detachment of the placenta. needless to say I have always anted three kids but once pregnant am on a constant roller-coaster. I am pregnant now, i am due November 29th, 2013. What started as an uneventful pregnancy has turned into hell for me. I was monitoring my progesterone every few days and was low but my Dr decided since it was borderline not to supplement. My cerclage went in without problems and the baby appeared to be growing fine. Every appointment was full of positivity. Then, I had my 20 week ultrasound and found out it was a girl when we had thought at my previous one it was a boy. What a surprise. they said she was measuring good and was 11 ounces already. Then I get he dreaded call from the MD that said not only was a right choroid plexus cyst present but I also had oligohydramnious. I have researched both and the right choroid plexus cyst may be nothing and go away but also had been found to be a precursor to Down’s syndrome and Trisomy 18 (Trisomy 18 is more common and I now wish I did not look it up). i have another ultrasound in two weeks to recheck both. Right now my worries are more on the oligohydramnious (low amniotic fluid index). I have yet to find any good outcomes with this diagnosis in the second trimester as delivery is obviously not an option at this point. Now I am faced with many fears on whether I will have a baby or not and if so will she be healthy. My risk of c-section this time is also much greater as the my baby is also in breech position and doesn’t have enough fluid to turn around. I don’t know what to think, feel or how to act. the next 2 weeks are going to take forever to get here and i am honestly scared of the result. To think I have made it this far to only loose another is terrifying. My only relief is that I have a fetal Doppler and check her heartbeat several times a day.
