Well that's it really. Went for routine 13 week scan on Wednesday morning. Straight away the sonographer said she wasn't happy with what she could see...she spent what felt like an age taking detailed measurements and explained there was excess fluid all around the baby and some structures were absent. We were then told to come back the next day to see a consultant. All felt a bit surreal really, like it was happening to someone else. Next day saw the consultant who scanned again and said the baby was very sick and not able to survive and I'd very likely miscarry soon. We were offered a termination the following day. I had this done yesterday. They think either Edwards or Pataus, they are going to test the baby. It all feels like a blur, within 48 hours going from thinking all is well to not being pregnant any more. Our 13 year old daughter was really upset when we told her, as were dh's family. I haven't told mine yet, I know I need to today am just dreading it, makes it more real somehow. Another family member is 20 weeks and don't want her to feel awkward around us either. Sorry for the ramble just wanted to write it down...
