Hi I'm really hoping to hear other people's experiences of this.
I'm 12 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child, at our scan on Wednesday we were told the baby has a Nuchal fold of 5.9mm, a liquid filled structure in the brain and the 4th chamber of the heart could not be seen. Yesterday I received my blood test results back which have given a 1 in 5 change of Down's, Edwards or Patau syndrome. As you can imagine we are devastated, the specialist midwife has told me that our child is very likely to have Edwards or Patau syndrome and its almost definite I will have to end the pregnancy. I'm having to wait till Wednesday for a CVS which seems like forever away. I'm just wondering if anyone else had has a similar experience, I'm feeling very scared and the waiting is horrible.
Xx
