Hi everyone,
First Post here, I really could do with some advice / reassurance or any stories from anyone who's experienced something similar..
I had my 12 week scan and NT was measured at 4.0 which was higher then it should be , I then had the bloods done for the combined test and received a phone call today telling me my chances for DS are 1:6 and 1:12 for Edwards syndrome.
Absolutely worried sick! Dont know what to think or how to process this... I am going to continue the pregnancy regardless of the outcome but my heart is so heavy right now.. I gave birth in July 2020 with clomid after 4 years of trying via c section
This baby was a total surprise just alot to take in..
Sorry for the essay !!
