Hi ladies,

just wanted to update you all so you knew the outcome as so many of you have helped me thtough this stressful time. For those who are experiencing what we have just been yheough I hope this helps you.

On my 12 week scan I had 1.2 fluid which was great. The scan all went well so did not really doubt my chances for screening coming back high risk but sadly they did. My world seemed very stressful for a few weeks awaiting my 20 week scan I doubted everything. My high risk was Age and high HCG 2.0 and Low Papp A 0.38. I'm 37 so my age related risk was 1/230. My overall score was 1/110.

This put a lot of stress on my pregnancy and I have worried myself sick for 6 months. I did not want Amnio as I had lost my previous pregnancy and had to have an erpc. So we agreed no further action await it out. All my scans went well, I had 4 in total no soft markers found which gave me hope.

Going into labour became stressful once more as the fear of outcome will I cope, then the hospital kept asking to induce me as I had developed GD and the high rs I refused met with a birth planner in a mlu unit and she was fantastic. She managed to over rule the rest and allowed me a waterbirth with just the odd gas and air here and there at the end. AND...

We had a beautiful perfect little Girl called Eloise weighing in a 7lb 11oz. So we now have one of each and our little girl thankfully was not the 1% chance they'd told us all the way thru. I also lost my mum at 7 months pregnant whoxh was so hard to deal with on top of everything else. So our baby girl has been a.true blessing and my mother lives on in her veins cos without Nanny neither of is would be here and my mother never once doubted my decision to not invade my pregnancy with Amnio she led me choose and said she had a feeling all will be ok. Well she was right but sadly never got to meet her little princess. Rest in peace Mum and I hope this thread may some day help someone else keep.the faith thru the hard times. xxxx
