I just need some hope, some positive outcomes or similar stories to mine. I’m booked for further tests and scans on Monday but I just need to understand what we’re are facing here . I’ve attached my scan report if it helps but the high NT doesn’t seem to be the only issue

Good luck @Balajake. I hope you get all the information you need to make the best choice for you. Hope you have someone with you, to support you and hold your hand. I’m here for you, keep talking to us. X

Treaclepie19 · 12/03/2020 12:52

@Balajake will be thinking of you.
Just make sure if you want to see baby after you ask about that as I know with surgical you can't always.
Sending lots of strength xxx

Treaclepie19 · 12/03/2020 12:54

And just to say I felt the same about getting back to our son.
I was glad we didn't have to rush in the end but it was on my mind. Do whatever is best for you, no guilt allowed xxx

So it’s over and I’m home. All I remember is the anesthetist telling me he was going to give me something to relax me and next thing I’m waking up with a very sore throat and it was 2 hours later. I lost a litre of blood so sent home with iron tablets. It feels crampy like a bad period and I’m very tired.

Thankyou For all your support

@Balajake I'm glad you're home. Sending lots of love and I'll be thinking of you. Always here if you need a chat xxx

@Balajake I was thinking of you all day yesterday. Sending lots of love xx

GaaaaarlicBread · 14/03/2020 06:43

Sending you so much love 💜💙

Balajake · 14/03/2020 07:43

I’m sad but otherwise I’m ok. My baby will now be cremated and ashes spread in the rose garden of the crematorium where my mum, nana, grandad and uncle are. I’m going to plant a nice apple tree in my garden and buy a name plate for the bench that’s near by once I know gender I will name my baby xx
You never think this will happen to you, this awful choice you are forced to make but I couldn’t be selfish and say what if because it wouldn’t be me suffering each day. My baby could have live an hour , a day a year but i couldn’t do that, put a sweet gorgeous baby through that. One day We will be together again I know it .
Sending all my best wishes to all the ladies who struggled with these same horrible outcomes. Life is cruel sometimes but we stay strong and hope for better xxx

Been thinking of you @Balajake. I’m glad you’re home but sorry you lost a lot of blood. Please rest and take good care of yourself. I’ll be following in your footsteps on Wednesday. Sending many healing hugs and much love. Xx

@Balajake I am so sorry to read your news - we went through the same in November - I had a medical termination due to our daughter having mosaic Down syndrome and heart problems - she was 18 weeks - and as heartbreaking as it was I couldn’t bare for her to be in any pain so we took her pain and gave it to ourselves and in my darkest days that gives me some kind of comfort - I hope it does to you too xx

Balajake · 15/03/2020 18:09

@Ruthsoph I’m truly sorry you went through this too. I just can’t imagine you ladies who went further having this awful outcome. No words to describe how heartbreaking it is ❤️❤️❤️

@HopefulSparkler I’m thinking of you too. I’m here for you and it’s gonna be horrendous for you. Everytime I’m alone I close my eyes and I feel this pain in my heart when I remember and realise it’s over. I have loads of tests left and as pathetic as it is i did one and I got 2 lines still. I know I shouldn’t have done it to myself but how cruel is that. Still testing pregnant

I've been thinking of you @Balajake. Hope you're holding up okay.
Just the other day I was in the bathroom and the smell of the toilet roll inner cardboard thing took me right back to being in hospital delivering our little boy. So it does still get me. It's been 15 months now and it's less often but they're always with you.
Look after yourself Flowers

Balajake · 15/03/2020 20:48

@Treaclepie19 I was in the shower today and it hit me as I closed my eyes, I’m never ever going to not feel it, it’s never not going to be there even jf and when I have another baby I can never not have had this experience, this pain. I bet you have all those fears returning now being close to that first scan. I’m so eager to see everything ok for you and baby. I’m crossing everything for you xx

Treaclepie19 · 15/03/2020 21:04

@Balajake Oh lovely, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Your baby will always be part of you and your life.
I read that each baby we have changes our DNA slightly and that's quite a comforting thought.

Yeah it is getting scary. Though with what's going on in the world I'm just hoping I dont get ill and end up missing my scan. I'm 11 weeks today, 2 weeks 3 days to go until my scan! Thank you so much xxxx

Balajake · 26/03/2020 15:00

My baby was a little Girl 😞 a beautiful little Girl. I had the strongest feeling she was. Strange to know I’ll never see or hold her. I think I’m gonna name her Millie Grace. It’s the name we already chose before I knew she was so poorly.

I thought my period had started but it has all gone away 24 hours later so guess I have to wait longer

Oh @Balajake ❤ I'm so very sorry. What a lovely name for your little girl Flowers

Ruthsoph · 26/03/2020 16:17

what a beautiful name for your little girl
our daughter was called Violet Iris and every year we have decided to celebrate her birthday - there is a lovely company called aching arms bears - you donate a bear in memory of your child and it gets sent to another family who have lost a baby - they add your babies name to the bear so their memory lives on forever - have given me so much comfort
they have a fb page so when you recive a bear you share so the parents can see it
look after yourself xx

Balajake · 26/03/2020 17:07

Thanks, it just hit home again today finding out. Screening midwife was lovely and told me to call her when I get pregnant again so we can go through everything and book tests when needed.
Ruthsoph violet iris is very beautiful ❤️

I'm glad they're being supportive ❤ Its all consuming again isn't it when it hits?
I still get it now. Thinking of you x

Balajake · 26/03/2020 19:17

Thankyou @treaclepie19. I will be following the other thread as I know it’s a crazy time. Even when you think you’re alone you’re now. Good luck for your scan whenever that may be in these challenging days xx
