My wife and I went for her first ultrasound today, followed by an appointment to see the OB/GYN. Saw the baby on the monitor! 8 weeks old, 1.5" long, 180 hbpm. The doctor looked at the ultrasound and said she sees fluid in the chest cavity. Could be the heart, could be the lungs. She said sometimes this corrects itself and some times it's a precursor to a birth defect! They scheduled my wife to get another ultrasound at a specialist's office and to get some genetic testing done in 2-3 weeks. I swear my life is nothing but ups and downs! There is never any middle ground!I NEED ​this next test to come back fine!!!
 
praying for you and the little one

Wishing you the best of luck man, really. For what its worth, we went though something similar to what you are describing with specialist screenings and all of that, all the while being told that it could be a multitude of things of varying severity. Ultimately, our kid was born just fine. My point is, even when it looks like things are down, there is always a chance that they can turn right back up. Be positive and take it as it comes, because it is out of your hands.
 
Oh man I hope everything is ok!
 
Praying for you and your wife!

It was like getting punched in the stomach! I just finally consoled my wife to where she's not crying anymore.
 
Praying you & your family JBC3.

I am praying for your unborn child and that you get good news at the specialist.

As the doctor said, sometimes these things work themselves out on their own. Babies are pretty resilient.

Hoping everything works out for you two though!
 
My whole family’s thoughts and prayers will be with you guys. Praying for good news.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

You doctor is correct, things have a way of working themselves out naturally. All you can do is remain positive.
 
I don't know you but your family will be in my thoughts. Hope you both stay positive and wish you well.
