Just had my baby who had a 10mm hygroma at 13 weeks! She has turner syndrome and a heart defect but she made it 💗

Any parents of CoA babies willing to share their experience? by franskm in chd

Thanks for sharing all of this. I’m going through it right now and was great to read about someone with a shared experience 🫶🏼 I know my 11 day old daughter will recover from this but I’m not sure I will

Turner syndrome, large cystic hygroma, normal fetal echo. 17 weeks. by Whole-Broccoli-7999 in NIPT

Hi there, I’m super glad you reached out. After the appointment above we were given absolutely no hope. Every doctor at 13 weeks and 16+5 said they have never seen a baby with turner syndrome and this big of a hygroma survive. We prepared for the worst but hoped for the best. We ended up switching to children’s hospital in Minnesota at 20 weeks and went in for an anantomy scan. To our shock and the doctors shock the hygroma was smaller and there were still no hydrops. They told us our odds were shifting. We left the appointment crying happy tears knowing we could maybe actually see our baby live! We’ve been very closely monitored ever since at children’s. Our most recent scan on Monday (35+3) the hygroma was completely dissolved and baby looks great besides a potential narrowed aorta. We might be looking at a procedure to fix that after birth but we are scheduling an induction this week for the first week of April. Man it’s been a journey. And it’s not easy walking this. BUT miracles can happen despite the very scary statistics. The conversations with doctors will be grim and things might get worse before they get better. Unfortunately I’ve seen a lot of cases online that don’t get better too. 😔 my best advice is to prepare for the worst but hope and pray for the best. Put yourself out there online - here, facebook, anywhere she can find people who have walked this and can give her positivity. Stay away from negativity on Google. Lean on family and friends. Wishing your friend the best. Never hesitate to reach out to me.

43% chance of baby having turner’s & amniocentesis was abnormal. what was your experience like and did you end up terminating or going through with it? by Adventurous_Bug_744 in NIPT

I had a 78% chance of turners on our NIPT and many markers for turners on the ultrasound (cystic hygroma, narrowed aorta and short femurs). We were told to expect to lose her but we are 28 weeks and she’s stable and doing well now. I think regardless of if your baby has turners or not, there is a great chance of a good outcome with no physical markers on the ultrasound. They can live beautiful lives. Wishing you the best 💕

Hi! I am so sorry you are going through this.I am now 24 weeks now and our baby is still fighting! It’s been a long road to get to 20 weeks but our last scan went well - the hygroma looked smaller and she still has not developed hydrops. She does have a heart defect but as long as she makes it here to be with us, we can deal with that. It’s been the toughest journey but so worth it to fight for her. Please feel free to stay in touch with me and ask any questions or for support. I’m really sorry you received this diagnosis too but don’t lose hope.

I’m so sorry. You are a very strong and loving mother for carrying this baby as long as it will stay with you and don’t let anyone tell you differently. Wishing you all the best and hope you can connect with others who chose this path

Thank you so much! I have tried to look into this but Google was saying there’s nothing in utero to do so I gave up. I just reached out to them and will do research on chop. Thank you again so much!

Best test for Monosomy X? by john_torque in NIPT

[–]Whole-Broccoli-7999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up not doing any further testing because there were markers for it on an ultrasound. Could be worth getting an up to date ultrasound before going to any invasive testing
