Hi everyone,
I'm new to this site and was wondering if there's anyone going through what me and my husband are going through?
On Tuesday 5th August we went for our 12 week scan, to be told baby had an NT measurement of 5.3mm. We was taken into a consultants room and told about our next options being cvs which at this point my head was a complete shed. An appointment was made for us at Sheffield hospital with a specialist for the next day in which we got the devastating news just by the scan that the reading he got for the NT was 7mm and baby had fluid around the abdomen and thorax area. He couldn't do the cvs either because my womb apparently is tilted and he was concerned he may puncture my bowel so instead he turned off the machine and basically told us to terminate. We are both still in shock.
We slept on our news and yesterday I called my midwife and her response was I didn't get much support, we have decided to try do the cvs again and an appointment has been made for next Friday. I have also been told that by the reading of the scan we have been given 1 in 2 chance baby has downs. I'm trying to stay positive and think 50/50 chance
I'm so worried and just praying baby's chromosomes come back normal so we can move onto the next stage.
Is anyone else going through this nightmare? X
P.s I am 12 weeks 4 days.
