First off: No Down's, Patau or Edward's Syndrome
(at least as far as the non-mosaic types are concerned, as I understood it)
Full results to be expected in two weeks time, and if those are clear too, then continuous monitoring of the ventricles in the brain which are too big (or at least borderline). Also a scan to look at the kidney area which is too big at 34 weeks.
So there's some sort of relief there, but it's by no means a completely carefree pregnancy. But we'll just have to wait and see. I feel hopeful and optimistic and positive.
You know what the best thing about today was? Dh came home at lunchtime, the appointment was at 3.15. While waiting at home we had a long and tearful talk in which I told dh that I couldn't terminate if it was Down's, and he understood and accepted, even though we had both said 24 hours before that we would have to have a termination in that case. But today I suddenly knew that I couldn't do it, not for Down's. So when we actually went to the appointment I had this strong feeling of peace, that everything was going to be okay no matter what the consultant would say.
I would just like to say again that I am intensely, enormously grateful to all of you who have replied on my various threads on the issue. It really has meant the world to me and has helped me enormously over the last few days, especially because I found it diffult or impossible to talk about it in RL.
So THANK YOU!!!!!
