Anyone else had a diagnosis of placental mosaicism??
I’ve had issues since my 12 week scan in mid-October. I was notified I was high risk for Edwards and Patau (1/85). Diagnostic CVS concluded Edwards to 99% certainty.
I was initially encouraged to consider compassionate termination as advised baby’s chances of survival were minimal. Was just starting to accept the diagnosis and get my head round this, when we got told 3.5 weeks ago that I actually have placental mosaicism. I was told this could mean baby is healthy and placenta essentially has Edwards. Amniocentesis was recommended.
Amniocentesis was only just viable to progress last week due to obstetric issues. This sample was then contaminated with blood and I’ve been told we have a 3 week wait for results which will take us to Christmas. I’m going out of my mind thinking I’ll be told my baby will die on Christmas week.
We’ve been referred to fetal cardiology and genetic counselling this week. Part of the issue is no one has heard of this condition and it only adds to my isolation. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this?
