Hi, my name is sky this is my first time on here i'm looking for some help
and cant find any answers, hoping someone can help me. I'm 23 and have 2 gorgeous healthy little boys, and i'm 20 weeks pregnant with another boy, problem is I had my ultrasound on the 17th got a call this morning saying I absolutley needed to be at my doctor before noon so I go in and they showed me a picture of the ultrasound of the babys head and it shows a white spot in the head or on the brain. I read the letter from the radiologist it said something about a possible left latteral hemorrhage, my doctor was not very reasuring I am scared to death ive been crying all day. He set me an appt with a specialist for a 4d ultrasound, and maybe amnio but its not till next thursday and im stressin bad I cant wait does anybody know about this, I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

I'm so sorry honey. I don't have an experience like that, but both my babies were in the .N.I.C.U. For a week. Neonatal intensive care unit. I was so scared. My last baby almost didn't make it. All I can say is I know how you feel and you can talk to me if you want. Just be strong for the baby growing in you and your other boys. It's the hardest part, but try to keep it together for them.

Aww honey that is a rough place to be. My step son who is 2 and a half months was not expected to live more than a few hours because during an ultra sound they saw an abnormality in his heart well as it turns out when he was born he did better than expected and yes he had a rough start (open heart surgery) but they say he will go on to lead a completely normal life. So you never know. Just keep your head up and educate your self on all the possibilities so you can at least feel a little better. Doctors are not gods and you just never know. Good luck!

i really apreciate you ladies responding so quick im still super stressed I guess I just have to wait and pray that god will remove whatever the prblem might be. I have alot of faith but still in the back of my mind I worry, mostly because my doctor said he hasnt seen this before. No matter what I love this baby with all my heart. This is really nice to have a place to go and talk to people. Thank ya'll

I will be praying for you and your baby too. You can activate a prayer chain at your church or any local church. Just a thought.

A spot can be anything. If they talk about hemorrhage, they are talking about a bit of bleeding inside the fetus' skull. U.S. Is not a good screen for that, though, as anything can show up like that. It could be a bit of heavy calcium deposit of the skull (insert obligatory joke about "thick-headed) or a temporary change in the brain itself. Remember that the fetal brain is doing a lot of growing around this time and is undergoing a lot of changes.

It could be serious, certainly, but it also could be what we call an "artifact," a insignificant thing affecting the quality of the u.S.

The main reason for such a bleed, if that indeed is what it is, would be what is called an aneurysm, a swelling of the blood vessels in the brain. That is genetical in nature, meaning that it runs in families. If you don't know anybody in your near family who have aneurisms, or who have had strokes from an actual bleed, it is much less likely that the us showed anything significant.

Now, that is about the limit of what I know about this and it is a long time since I have looked at us, so anybody else, feel free to jump in.

Well if it was choroid medline says this: "the choroid is the layer of blood vessels and connective tissue between the sclera (white of the eye) and retina. It is part of the uvea and supplies nutrients to the inner parts of the eye. Inflammation of the choroid is called choroiditis. "

check the spelling and go to http://medlineplus.Gov/ to look at what the words mean. You need to talk to your doctor about this though, they'll give you a far better idea than we can.

I'll be thinking of you.
