Sporty, when do you get your results back?

 

[sportysgirl]

Thanks for checking in on me.

The hospital rang on Monday, the results show that our baby has down syndrome. We are still in shock and taking the information in.

Still can't believe this is happening after all we have been through.

Please pray for us.

Sporty, what a shock for you, I know you will need some time to absorb this news. Will definitely pray for you. Huge to you & DH.

 

[confuzion]

I'm so sorry sporty. It is unbelievable that you would have something like this after all you've been through. You and your family are in my thoughts . Please keep us posted on how you're coping.

I'm so sorry, sporty. I know that is a lot to take in, and I hope that even with this issue, your LO is healthy and perfect when they are born.

 

[cutieq]

I'm sure that's a shock sporty. Praying for your family and LO.

How are you all doing?

My scan today did not go very well. Baby is severely growth restricted (IUGR), at best 3-4 weeks behind (measuring about 16+1 on average; I should be at least 19+2 or 20+4). Normal hb but little movement. My placenta is abnormal so probably the baby hasn't been getting enough nourishment. They did an amniocentesis and I have a follow up on Thursday but I don't believe that the problem is chromosomal. I think IUGR basically one of those things where they can't do much, the baby will either make it or he won't. I have to do a bit more research. I don't know anything else. I suppose at least he's alive for the meantime, so there's still hope.

Didn't find out the gender but I should know from the amnio. Baby had his legs crossed but is too small to tell anyway. So we are rather in limbo. I guess it explains why I haven't felt any movement yet.

You are so right about that. I don't think the stress will disappear until we are holding babies in our arms.

I wish I had the right things to say to you ladies. All I can do is send you a million hugs and we are all here for you with love and support.

 

[Fezzle]

Oh no, I haven't checked in for awhile and so sorry to come back to bad news.

Sporty- how definite is that result? Thinking of you- it must be so hard to shift your expectations now.

Squig- I'm going to your journal now to see if there are any more updates but really gutted to see this news.

 

[Squig34]

Sporty, how are you & DH doing?

 

[sportysgirl]

Thanks for asking Squig.

We are both not so good. I am very emotional and hardly getting any sleep.
So much running round in my head. I feel so numb.
Off to the hospital today to see the screening nurse.

How are things with you?

How is everyone else?

 

[Wishing1010]

So sorry for the worry and stress, sporty.
