Maryann,

Yes, I've seen people misdiagnosed. I've also seen cases where the doctors make people think a certain condition is much worse than it actually is. I know it's hard not to worry, this is your baby, but try to focus on the very real chance that your baby will be fine. Even if your baby has a Cystic Hygroma, that can be fixed.

With my first pregnancy the the ultrasound detected an abnormality. The doctors told me the baby had too much fluid on the brain,(Hydrocephalus) and that he would be retarded. My son is 11 years old, he is not developmentally delayed. Doctors can be wrong even when the condition diagnosed is correct. My son still has Hydro, but it has not caused him any health problems.

Please continue to post! Use this board to express your concerns. Update us and let us know the results of your next ultrasound.

Thoughts and prayers~

Shellie
