Bad news at 20 week scan, please help.

[No1worrier]

I hope someone can tell me their experiences from something similar. I have just been told at my 20 week scan my little girl has something seriously wrong with her heart. I have been referred to the fetal medication unit to see a specialist cardiologist tomorrow. She is moving so much, heartbeat has been strong since was 6 and a half weeks pregnant, everything else like her brain, kidneys etc look fine but something is so badly wrong with her heart. I'm so confused 😥. The consultant at the hospital didn't say what he thought it looked like but he said it was serious and I will probably be given options, one being it is fixable, another is ending the pregnancy which we refuse to do! I am 21 weeks pregnant now so more than half way and I can't even think about ending it. All I know is she doesn't have the normal 4 chambers etc like a heart should have. Sorry I don't have much more information than this, we don't get to take notes away home with us at our hospital. Any input would be appreciated 💗

Sorry forgot to mention my down syndrome screening bloods came back as 1 in 99,000

I'm so sorry, OP.

Don't be afraid of giving birth. My son was born sleeping at 27 weeks, and we were treated with incredible kindness and dignity. As painful as it all was, it was lovely that we had time with him, lots of photos and hand/foot prints. The staff are sadly experienced in dealing with this, and they will take good care of you.

Be kind to yourself

So sorry to read this OP. Wishing you all the best at this difficult time x

I am so, so sorry, OP. All the best

Oh, I am so sorry

So sorry to read this. Have you given your little girl a name yet? There’s nothing I can say to ease your pain, but I am thinking of you. Hugs xx

Wishing you and your partner love and strength to guide you through this OP
