Hi,
This is my first post on here, not sure of the acronyms yet or if I'm posting in the right place so sorry and bear with me.
I went for my 12 week scan today and was told my baby had a brain defect that was incompatible with life. I had to then go to another hospital to see a consultant. He said it was like spina bifida but a higher level (have no idea what these means.) even if I carried on with pregnancy the outcome would not be a living baby. I have a termination booked on Thursday now. Everything happened in such a blur and I'm absolutely heartbroken. But i feel absolutly terrible as the only thing I can think of is trying again for another baby. They have told me I will need a prescription for folic acid as I need a higher level than other people. I'm in such a mess and am so confused I've never even heard of this happening to anyone else. So if anyone else has gone through this I would be grateful if you could share your experience or advise me as I was thinking of maybe asking for a second opinion but again that's probably just wishful thinking and delaying the inevitable.
Thanks for reading xxx
