Hi ladies, at my 20 week scan, my baby was diagnosed with a very small VSD (Ventricular Septum Disorder). The doctor told me not to worry too much since the hole will close either before birth or within the first few weeks of being born given its size. I went to fetel medicine centre for this scan, in their report they recommended a growth scan between 28 and 32 weeks. But my doc says its not compulsory to do this scan. My husband and i are a little worried and are just wondering that if we do this scan, will we able to see the VSD status? whether the hole has been closed or not? Is this scan compulsory, have any of u ladies done this scan and how useful is this growth scan. I am currently 30 weeks today and just wondering if i should have the scan? Please help if any of you ladies have experienced anything similar?
TIA

Hi....sorry to hear about your baby's condin beition. I can't even begin to imagine what you and your husband must be going through. Being a FTM myself i would say get a second opinion. I personally dont blindly trust the doctors here and i'm sure the second opinion will be worth all the money spent. Its much better than asking us wht to do as we are not professionals. Get hold of some really good Ob-gyn....and show them the report and get their opinion. I've heard good things about dr. elsa, dr, rihab. Might be worth asking them. If they say the same thing as well them u know wht to do. Hope its all good news for you!
