Today we went to the fetal medicine clinic at Leeds for a scan as my daughters baby Harvey has his heart all the wrong way round top and bottom and other problems too. She is an amazing mum, just complested being a vt at the hospital and college, had her son and got distinction. Her son is her life and she is brillinat. Hollie has been on the injection for 15 mths and not had any periods for 18 mths due to her not being well with her diabetes and last week she found our she was 18 weeks pregnant.
Anway we went for a scan today and the babay has the wrost heart problem hls where is left size is small. The said they are sure it is but will need to be confirmed by a cardiologist scan and keeping us waiting 3 weeks.. eek. The ladt that did the scan though is specialised in hearts so I am sure she is right.
She has told us that 50% of babies dont survive the first op and the same for the second op... my daughter is bottling it up and we discussed termination as she has harvey and his care needs and does not get a lot of support from her partner at all. She is only young too but so mature.
She I think is going to continue with the prgnancy and it has to be her decision but also think she has to think of Harvey also and his needs as on meds etc, bad asthma.
God I wish I could wake up and it all not be true I really do...
also what is the procedure like for late termination....
thanks
