I have read a few threads but they are all pretty old so I wanted some fresh advice from anyone in my position.
Myself and my parter got pregnant after just 6 weeks trying to conceive. I took seven seas vitamins for three months prior to this as well as for the first three months of pregnancy. We had a 9 week private scan to which the lady was very excited that everything looked great and baby was 9+1. We told friends and family and my boss was aware due to my horrendous morning sickness which was all day every day. We went to our 12 week scan and was amazed how big our baby had got and to see him (we feel he is a boy) moving around happily. But the sonographer gave us the news his skull had not fully formed and he was “not compatible with life” due to Acrania. We decided to terminate straight away as I could not put myself through anymore.
This was a week ago and I’m still waiting for my surgery which is absolute TORTURE. I was called by a clinic who told me they could do the procedure but they do have active protestors outside which I am to simply ignore. I have nothing against these places but due to my circumstances and the fact this baby is very wanted I am keen to stay with my hospital. They called today and can see me Wednesday to end my pregnancy.
I have been told next time I am to take 5mg of folic acid before conception and throughout to avoid this happening again. We want to get my cycle back to normal so are keen to try after 2 normal periods.
Can anyone shed some light on the aftermath of this procedure for medical reasons or on trying again after Acrania? I am 26 if that helps....
