Hi All,
Following a high risk result from our initial NHS combined screening test for Downs/Edwards/Pataus syndromes, we opted for the NIPT test, which yesterday confirmed our baby had Edwards syndrome.
I'm still in the process of working through my emotions (I'm feeling totally crushed right now), and guess I will be for the next few weeks to come. DH and I spoke yesterday about what we'd like to do, and I know this isn't right for everyone but we're confident a termination is right for us. We've decided to have a medical termination, and I was hoping that someone might be able to give me any advice (if it's not too painful to discuss), or just information about what's to come, physically but maybe also emotionally?
I feel like this is maybe a lot to ask but I just feel like I need more information if anyone is able to help.
I've read lots of the resources on the ARC website and plan to give them a call soon.
Thank you xx
