Coping, venting: echographic findings compatible with DS

[lola8319]

I just want to vent.
I´m 41 yo, second pregnancy after a loss at 8 weeks last year. Currently at 14+2. Had a scan today with a fetal medicine consultant and it was a total mess.
Baby is smaller than expected, NT was at 2.7 (or more?), there was echogenic bowels and reverse A wave.
I accepted having an amnio in 2 weeks, I only want to confirm the diagnosis before having a TFMR (If I can get that in my country... it´s complicated). I don´t want to have hope because the panorama looks very pessimistic. Only a miracle could make me having a healthy baby in this pregnancy.
I just need to cope with this.
Sorry for my rantings, I have no one but my DH to talk about this.

So sorry to read this ❤️ are you able to have NIPT?

Hi, it´s too expensive where I live, so it´s cheaper for us to go directly to amnio. Fetal medicine consultant gave a 1:18 risk for DS based on my age, obesity and echographic findings.
At least I got assured I could be offered a TFMR if I decide it, because I have a high risk for preeclampsia.
Thank you for reading me 😞

I´ll update my case. My baby became an angel at 27 weeks, I went through induction with misoprostol and then curetage. My angel did had DS, and it seems she had more issues that were incompatible with life. She was too small for 27 weeks, she didn´t grow.

I’m so sorry @lola8319. It sounds like she was very, very loved. I’m sure she knew how hard you fought for her. Thinking of you. X

I'm so sorry. From mama's womb to God's arms ❤️
