I'm coming up to my 12 week scan and have to decide if I want the screen tests done.
I always thought I would bye hen I also never thought I would get pregnant. This is my little miracle baby and since finding out I have become a paranoid mess, to the extreme of not wanting to leave the house among other things. There's a lot of extra stresses my end, partner not wanting it, grieving my recently passed away mum, having to stop work early etc etc. I feel like I can handle anything, except not having this little one.
From what I have read the test don't give me a yes or no, so for me what is the point. I'm 29, fit and healthy (excluding the fact they thought I was infertile) I should be low risk. I know the first test carry no risks but if they show something (that could be nothing) the next test carry a risk, which I just couldn't do. I'm then left with another 6 months of extra panic on top of my current state of TOTALLY FREAKING OUT.
Had anyone else not bothered with them?
Even after the risky tests you still don't know for sure... And I could never get rid of this little human growing in my tummy. Even at its current prune size it the only joy in my life.
