I am pregnant with a much longed for baby, after a terrible year. NC as I'm so scared.
Last year I fell pregnant with our DC3 after several years trying. Devastatingly, he was diagnosed with a chromosomal disorder and we had to say goodbye after a poor prognosis following lots of tests, scans etc. I then had an early miscarriage at the end of the year.
This pregnancy, I have had the Harmony test and that came back as very low risk (1:10000) for all the major choromosomal issues. We had a week of joy, after an anxious start, only to find out at the 12 week dating scan that the NT looked very high and when it was measured was 3.5mm. We are meeting the consultant later to discuss possible issues, I spoke to him briefly by phone and he thinks a chromosome issue is unlikely (after my son being so poorly though I am worried, it feels we are doomed) but mentioned a possible heart problem or an infection.
I don't have anyone to talk to in real life except DH and looking for a hand hold, I suppose. Has anyone else had a high NT?
I'm 38 (39 soon) and it feels our chance has slipped away.
