I don’t have any positive stories but I know even in the hardest or unexpected situations you can still be an amazing mum for example I am one of 5 children my parents had and 2 of my siblings was born way later on.

We all get along and one may have high needs but we all get along and he a very kind boy the point i trying to say is even with a hard or unexpected situation you can still try your best and be a good parent.

Hey, I have a friend who lost her little boy to trisomy 18 and went on to have healthy twins, she’d also had other children previously. I know a few others who had to TFMR (but I don’t know the reasons) and they went on to have healthy babies too. I know it must be so difficult not to imagine the worst, sending love xx
