I am 33 years old. I have a beautiful, healthy baby girl aged 15 months and I consider myself very lucky. However, subsequent pregnancies have not been so easy. My second pregnancy miscarried at 7 weeks and my third pregnancy was terminated at 13 weeks because the baby had trisomy 18(Edwards syndrome.) I would love to talk to other mothers who have been through something similiar. I suppose I'd like to hear about how others have coped with a termination and subsequent pregnancies following a termination. At the moment I'm thinking about genetic counselling for myself and my husband. Necessary or not? I'm undecided.

I am 29 years old. Had my scan yesterday and found that there was a cyst in my baby's tummy I am 28 weeks and 5 days the doctors will do another scan on 3rd september to check the cyst.
Can anyone give me some more information about cysts in the baby's tummy.

I'm sorry that I can't give you any information on this, Siera, particularly as it sounds worrying. It would probably be best for you to start a new thread with the word 'cyst' in the subject line. If you do that, I'm sure you'll get a helpful response soon.
