Apologies for the clumsy title. I seem to be hijacking threads all over the place so thought I'd start my own for this question.
Yesterday my nuchal fold scan showed an increased risk of a chromosonal abnormality (1 in 44). I am 12 wk now and want to tell ds we are having a baby. He often says he wants a baby brother or sister. It would be especially lovely to tell him today on his 4th birthday. My problem is, should I tell him when statistically there is a fair chance this pregnancy is going to end in late miscarriage or stillbirth? Or do I keep it quiet and if so, for how long?
