High blood flow through cord to baby

So after me posting yesterday about them cancelling my 20week scan and rebooting for Thursday I got a cancellation for today. I've left holding tears back . The whole day as gone bad to worse. They've lost my prescription for the inhexia tummy injections so I had to see another docter to get more I have my scan and due to cancellation they were not able to do have the time to do the whole scan like originally booked. Baby was fine wriggling about ect but they were not able to check baby's heart Chambers properly and took ages to check the blood flow from cord ect as baby was being a nightmare. Lol but when they did I've been told there's to much blood flow gojng to baby. During my midwife assessment after I wasn't really explained to what this means but they want to do scans from 28 weeks and a rebook of my annomly scan for 3 weeks time to check the heart kidneys ect. Then my blood pressure was high the twice they checked it so sent me to the fetal assessment unit. In which I waited an hour to be told its fine again. But they want me back Saturday. They've told me not to worry about the high blood flow but I have gone on to the NHS site googled it and its there are a few potential reasons. Placenta problems , which they have not yet been able to see clearly . It could be a sign of preclampsia and the third option was problems with baby's heart or kidneys. Now I'm sat here worried sick and won't have any answers for another 3 weeks. Doesn't help I've been on Google :( Preclampsia runs in the family as my mom nearly died having me 34 years ago . What worries me is I'm the same age and this is my 5th child and never had a problem previously . This time round none stop problems , high BP daily injections. My head is literally short right now Abyone else been through simular?

Show your support

It sounds like you’re going through a lot and I can completely understand why you’d be feeling so worried ❤️ could you get in touch with your midwife and explain your worries to them? They should be supporting you and can hopefully give you some reassurance

That's a whole different story 20 weeks and yet to meet my midwife she keeps cancelling and the o lying appointment I have is at 29 weeks with her. I feel so failed and let down this whole care 😞 x

It sounds alot hunni my scans hvnt been great either n ive been told nxt week is my last chance cz they cant keep scanning and the sonigrapher just said “ back in the day women didnt get scans and everything turned out fine” honestly not reassuring ! I dnt see anyone or gt my bp checked just re booked again. But given “one last chance” Ive not met my midwife either my hospital is out of my gp area n i wanted to check for a uti so took a sample to my scan only for a random midwife to say u should go to ur gp not here 😔

That's horrible and sounds like the exact same. I made a complaint at my scan so they have emailed my midwife team to demand I see a midwife. I hate sonographers like that... hopefully you get a diffrent one next time. I'm glad I never had that women 🤣🤣 I'd of said something snotty back like maybe you can book me in with a more experienced staff member who knows what she is doing. Its really not reassuring is it really I'm seriously thinking about booking a private scan for that little extra check up. But even they told me ny placenter was anterior but not hospital are saying posterior so I have no clue has to what's happening but not good when your worried about baby. Hope your next scan will be a successful one and they managed to do all checks. I've got to have this one done again at 23 weeks. Then from 28 regular growth scans. I feel lik3s there not telling me things as I've looked up my baby's estimated growth based on the scan details and it is showing baby is on a small percentile atm.

Honestly its sooo crappy right? Esp when your high risk , have nobody to talk to and all we have is dr google who is terrifying and makes it wayyyy worse but who can blame us right? When we have no-one to go to for answers x I hope things get better for u too hunni n u get the scan to reassure u that its no way near as bad as dr google makes it sound x ✨
