Hi Ladies
Thanks for all your kind words on the "do you ever thread" I didn't want to post on there and spoil it for eveyone. I had my nuchal scan last night and discovered that twin 1 has a nuchal score of 3.8 and a risk of some form of chromosone problem of 1/3, he/she also has an exomphalos (hernia where his bowel & liver are outside his abdominal cavity).
Twin 2 has nuchal of 2.4 and appears visually okay at the moment and Downs risk of 1/ 204 and other trisonomy risk of 1/768.
I am going to see a consultant next week and hopefully T1 will only have this hernia which should be operable after birth. Obviously there may be other things as well but I am clinging to the 70% chance that they might not have chromosone problems.
Trying to be positive but may not be around much over next few days as have lots of people to see and things to get my head round. I am at my local EPU on Monday, seeing my midwife Tuesday/Wednesday and hopefully a consultant on Thursday.
I have to sit tight until 15 weeks to wait for an amniocentesis to check them both out. I have already been offered a termination of one or both babies but also advised to have an amnio to see if one is going to be viable. My best case at the moment is one healthy baby and one baby which will need an op after birth. Worst case is the poorly baby doesn't make it takes the healthy one with it.
Sorry if I spoil Saturday night just needed to get this off my chest.
