At the 21 week scan, the ultrasound technician asked that we see the consultant again. I thought nothing of it as I thought this was a formality, but afterwards my husband said he could tell that the expression on her face had changed.
We moved to the next room where the consultant scanned me again. He told us that the ventricles in the baby’s brain were slightly enlarged (11mm), something known as ventriculomegaly. As long as they didn’t grow any more, most babies were fine. Our hearts dropped off a cliff. I thought this is it, this is going to get worse, we are not getting out of this one. And indeed that is what happened.
