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 am so sorry for you and I hope the amino comes back conclusive, positively would be a miracle but if not, then you'll know you had no real choice and that the doctors are right Flowers.

Hallyup5 · 11/03/2021 22:09

So sorry to you and your partner. Next week will be 5 years since my little boy was born at the same gestation. Nature made the decision for me though, I couldn't imagine having to make that decision myself.

Take care of yourself and give yourself time to process everything. Big hugs xx

My nephew has hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He had to have surgery on his heart at 3 days old, then again at 3 months old, and then at 3 years old. It was diagnosed in utero. He is currently 8 years old. He has the life of an average 8-year-old for the most part. He goes to school, cub scouts, plays soccer. He has to be careful about getting infections and things like that. He will likely eventually require a heart/lung block transplant.
