Not good news .... petrified

[Donnat89]

Hi all ,

I don't even know where to start .

I am 30 years old and pregnant with my 3rd child , I have to healthy children and had normal pregnancies with both

I went into the hospital for my scan at 11+3 and the news wasn't good it was found that my babies NT is 8mm and there is signs of skin oedema .

Baby is growing and right size for dates and was very active ... this made things worse as I could see this little baby who they tell
Me is so sick kicking about

They have told me my baby has a 65% chance of a chromosome abnormality... so we have opted for the CVS

They were not able to do the CVS this week as I have an inverted uterus and the baby is laying in front of the placenta .

I have to go back next week when I will be 12+3 to see if they can do it

I am so upset and scared and the uncertainty is killing me

I'm scared they still won't be able to do the test next week and that means more waiting

I'm trying to be positive but I feel like I'm going mad with worry and have spent hours
On the internet .

I do not really know what I am after , I would like to hear from people with both good and bad stories and from anyone that's been through this

I just don't know how to feel or what to do right now and it's killing me

Our little angel came into the world at 1955 last night ....

Born sleeping . We will not know any results from the test until 6-10 weeks so our wait still isn't over

Hello all ,

Just an update really .

So after what has felt like a life time we went for or test results today to see if baby had any chromosomal problems .

Well we where in for a shock turns out we where not in the 70% percent and our baby had no chromosomal problems at all .

This means we where in the 30% and that our little girl (sex confirmed by tests) most likely had a heart problem that was not compatible with life .

So in a way good news as we now know that neither of us carry anything that caused it , but in another way no great as still no definitive answers


The consultant just said we where very unlucky but we are unlikely to have this happen again z


We now have a plan in place for future pregnancy and I have be prescribed high dosage of folic acid that will hopefully help !


So fingers crossed we are blessed again ! But we are feeling more positive and can now try again without so much worry !
