We had a bit of a stressful week last week. After our 20 week scan on Monday our midwife called to say there might be something wrong with the baby's heart, or the position of it. We had to wait until Friday (and a 2 hour long ultrasound marathon) to find out that it's not a heart problem, but rather cysts in the right lung.
It will need to be monitored, but at the moment it's likely to be a minor concern only. Bubs may need an operation to remove the tissue at 3-6 months. It can be a lot worse, but based on the 20 week (actually now more like 22 weeks) scan it looks like a mild case.
One side effect of having to go into Wellington Hospital for the follow-up scan was that we got a 3d scan of the baby - it was pretty good, not perfect, but worth posting:

That must have been pretty scary for you guys. I'm glad that isn't as bad as originally thought.
The 3-d scan is supercool!
A bit of a stressful week is probably a huge understatement. It may be good to know things but very challenging until you had an outcome. As for the 3D scan - He is absolutely beautiful! Kia Kaha.
