So sorry, you will definitely be in my thoughts.

I wish I had words to describe the sincere emotion that I have for you. I am so sorry that you are going through this. My heart hurts for you. I absolutely LOVE your little boys name! Leon is actually our babies great grandpas name that passed away and we have thought about incorporating it into the babies name, and it sounds great as a middle name.

I'm still in the waiting game as to what our blood work shows, and I may not be much help, but if you need to talk or just share more of your experience to help while your going through it feel free to pm me. I haven't been able to even tell my family what the nt scan said and what may be wrong because Im too emotional to even share it. So this has probably led to me being even more stressed in some ways I'm sure because I have moment of feeling so alone but I also just feel like its so private and personal that I don't want to tell until I know for sure. I go back and forth with it all day long, and it can get very hard when I feel like no one understands how scary this is as the mom, but then I turn to all of the amazing parents that post on here and share their stories and it really does help A LOT.

I pray that you have the strength to get through this, and the funeral thursday. I am so sorry hunny.

thanks girls, it's been very very tough on us....I don't know how we will manage to make it through!!!
Glad you loved our name! Leon is our baby's great grandfather's name as well who happens to be my Godfather so it is perfect for our precious angel!!! How did your appointment go today? praying and fingers crossed for you!

I got my results back today and the baby definitely doesn't have Edwards but is at risk for downs my ratio is 1:75 so I went for the materniT21 test and I have to wait for 2 weeks now for that result. I'm just so nervous..
What did they signore your little angel with after the scan?

 

[needshelp]

that's great its not Edwards, down's is livable and I work with down's kids and some of the most beautiful babies ever!! just think, 1 in 75 chances means that 74 chances your baby is fine! that is such a good feeling!! we got our results back today from the scans and they found nothing wrong chromosomal, at all!! so now waiting for genetic testing...having a very rough night as tomorrow, we bury our precious Westyn.... I can't even fathom the thought...

Wow that is surprising to hear that result. Yes I was really happy to know that if something is abnormal (ie downs) at least it is compatible with life. The materniT21 was super quick and easy so I really hope we find out for sure and then don't have to do anymore testing from there.

I am so sorry you are saying goodbye tomorrow many hugs to your family!

defn thinking of you as you await the results!!! hope they come soon!

I just wanted to update- my materniT21 results just came in and baby is perfectly healthy!!!!!! Negative for T21,13,and 18. It only took 1 week to get the results and was supposed to be 2weeks so that was great. I think this test is absolutely AMAZING simply because it's so simple and non invasive!!! I finally got to a sense of peace through a lot of prayer and realized that even with downs I would be grateful that the baby could still live and be born and not be incompatible with life, and that we would just learn a new normal. This result was simply a miracle from God and nothing less. I hope anyone else reading and going through this right now will have hope after our nuchal fold being 5.7mm and the first round of blood work showing signs of downs.

This test also tells you the gender and we are having our FOURTH girl!!!!!
