Waiting on amnio results. Suspected down syndrome

Hi ladies. I'm looking for some hope or reassurance that someone might be able to give me based on their previous experiences. I went for my anomoly scan yesterday where a number of markers for DS were found. I was brought in again today to be scanned by a senior consultant who found the same markers. They did an amnio straight away and now I'm waiting on the results. I am worried sick, so stressed out and cant stop crying. I'm trying to be hopeful but struggling to be. I've to wait a week for results and I'm trying to cling onto hope for the week. I would love if people were able to share their experiences for me please. The markets they found were a small hole in the heart, a small nasal bone and small bones measurements. It's a lot of markers in my own opinion hence why I feel like all hope is lost. Please help

I’m sorry OP. Go gently.

I would have made the same decision.

@scaredmum85 you made the right decision for you and your family. Be gentle with yourself. It will get better.

scaredmum85 I'm so sorry that you didn't get better news. We made the same decision 10 years ago. It's incredible hard, there is only the right decision for you and your family. If you haven't already been in touch with ARC, I would highly recommend them. They have a safe support group for mums that have had a TFMR and it was a lifeline for me in the early days. There's also one for dads if your DH needs support.
Take care and be kind to yourself. Flowers

Hi Scaredmum85,

We're so sorry that you've had to make such a difficult decision. We hope you don't mind but we're going to move your thread over to our Pregnancy Choices topic. We can see you've had lots of good advice and support here in Chat but we feel that's a more sensitive place for your thread.

Sending good wishes. Flowers
