I am just wondering if anyone has been through a similar thing to me as I don't know anyone who understands...
I already have a child from a previous relationship and after being with my new partner for 4 years we decided to try for a baby. We were over the moon when that second line appeared!! This was however to be short lived....
At 11 weeks i was told of a nt measurement of 4mm and refered to a specialist the next day. After her scan she did not think the baby had a chromosome problem but the heart looked slightly central. Two weeks later and we were told the baby's heart was in the right side rather than the left. We were then told this was due to a diaphramatic hernia. Another two weeks later and after another scan we were told that the stomach and bowls were also in the baby's chest which resulted in there not being enough room for the lungs to develop.
We were then faced with the only possible option to minimize our babies suffering....A termination.
At 17 weeks i was induced into labour and after 5 hours i gave birth to a perfectly formed little boy. This all happened just over a week ago and i feel as if i've gone into shock. I don't feel as if this has happened to me, it just doesn't seem real. Has anyone else had an experience like this?
