Hi I’m 25 and was pregnant with my first baby. My partner and I were over the moon and bought a new house in a panic to be ready for the little one. Unfortunately at 12 weeks they detected an increased NT, the bloods then came back 1 in 5 chance of Down Syndrome. We were then offered an NIPT test which also came back high risk - and later a CVS test confirmed it. There were also concerns of heart and structural problems which led us to decide on having a termination. I appreciate that this wouldn’t be everyone’s decision and it wasn’t a decision that we made lightly. It’s been 6 weeks since the termination and it is still as painful as it was then. I feel as though I am in a dark hole and can’t find my way out. Following the number of tests I’ve had, I was back in hospital this week having the same medical procure again as they found the termination was incomplete and it was causing me to bleed profusely. I’m not there physically or mentally and they have referred me to genetics counselling but it will take another 4 months on the waiting list. I’ve written this post as there’s support groups on miscarriages, still borns etc but I’ve struggled to find many people who have opened up about struggling with terminations for medical reasons. It’s a very lonely time and I can’t help but feel as though nobody can understand how I’m feeling. It would be helpful to know I f there is someone else on here who has gone through the same or they too could find comfort knowing they aren’t alone too.
