Hi guys, firstly i am new to this site so apologies if this is the wrong place to post!
I am 15 weeks pregnant with number 4 and really looking forward to expanding our family.
I have recently had my screening results back for Downs and have been given a 1:30 result. I am really feeling confused about how I feel, but the over riding feeling is guilt - have i done something/could i have done something different etc....
My rational side knows the answers but the irrational side keeps taking over.
I have declined the Amnio at this point as it wount change things for us either way, but I am wondering if I am being naive about things. Our other children are 5,6 and 7 and am worrying about the impact on them.
I really wasn't suprised when we got the call from the Midwife - although there was no real reason, just a feeling!
I am 35 which puts me in the 1:250 risk but NT and bloods have put me in the 1:30 - whilst Im not overly worried about the figures and am happily continuing with the pregnancy, I think what I am worried about is how poorly the baby will be (If at all), and how that effects our exsisting family.
Right, ramble over
