Hi
Went for a scan yesterday (I'm 17 + 4) at outr American hospital. Because I'm 35 I was routinely offered genetic counselling, followed by a very detailed scan to determine any risks - the scan was both 3d and 4d and I was quite enjoying seeing our wee boy (knew it was a boy!) in such detail for the first time. The doctor said everything looked great - EXCEPT he saw something on the brain that he said could indicate Edwards'.
He was at pains to point out that there were no other markers, all the other measurements were fine - he ruled out Downs' and Patau (sp?) which was very reassuring, but obviously with Edwards' we are looking at something 'not compatible with life' (Dr's words).
He gave us a 1:127 chance of it being Edwards. Before I new it I was having the amnio done and now I'm waiting. I had terrible dreams all night and woke up actually believeing that I'd had a termination.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Please hel, I feel like I'm going nuts here.
