“Ventriculomegaly: 20 week scan showed high range of normal 9mm ”
I went in for my 20 week ultrasound. Everything seemed great and then the doctor came in and said one of the ventricles measured 9mm which is the high end of normal(boy) and they want me to come back in two weeks to remeasure. Does this most often stay within normal or do I have to be very worried about this increasing for the rest of my pregnancy. I am already a highly anxious person and I am so scared of what can happen, or raising a child with disabilities. Please weigh in if you can.

It is difficult to say. If this is the only issue they noted, I would not be too worried, just wait for the follow-up ultrasounds. It could just be normal for your baby. Even babies with enlarged ventricles can grow up completely normal. So please, try to be optimistic. Regardless, when you see this new baby, you will be in love!
