Hi all. I am almost 16 weeks pregnant and going through the hell, having just learned that my baby has Down syndrome. Something that I could never imagine happening....we had the initial screening that came back as very high risk. Then chose to do the private non invasive test, which came back with greater than 9/10 risk of Down syndrome. We have taken the very heart braking decision to terminate the pregnancy and now waiting for the date of the procedure. In the meantime I wanted to do the invasive, amniocentesis test, as the other test has accuracy of 98% and is regarded as screening test (and not recognised under NHS), whereas amnio has 99.9% accuracy and is diagnostic. My husband, a medical professional, thinks I am being unreasonable. All I want is not to have the slightest doubt that I am ending the life of a baby who may have the smallest chance of being healthy. I don't want to have a termination and have the doubt at the back of my mind, saying what if. It is such a difficult time for us already. To have my husband make it even more difficult simply because I choose t undertake the additional test is heart breaking and making it even more unbearable for me...up till this week I haven't told you anyone that I was pregnant. I just shared the news with my cousin as I can't bear the sadness inside anymore...I wish my husband and I could have supported each other more at this hugely difficult period....I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing....but he is making me resent him for not supporting me....how can we get through all this?
