Hi all
This is the first time I've ever posted on anything like this so please be kind ?
Ill start with my story:
Last feb we found out we were expecting... Evrything seemed 'wrong' from the start, I continually spotted, my dates were put back and when we went for our 12 week scan I just knew in my heart something was seriously wrong but my head desperatley wanted all to be ok and share the excitement of my partner.
So we went for our scan- heartbeat, limbs, etc, etc all good but I couldm
t shake this negativity... Two days later I got a call... Our downs risk was 1:50. My partner and I were always agreed on how we would deal with such a situation and after a short delay due to the position of my uterus we had a cvs at 14 weeks
So anyways three dats later we got the fast results throughn, edwards, downs and pateuas all normal. It seemed to take forever to get the full results back... Unfortunately my gut had been right all along and the baby had a much more rare and serious condition called trisomy 8 with other chromosomal deletions and duplications and were advised continuation of the pregnancy was futile.
We opted for a termination, but I was now 18 weeks so would have to go throught a delivery. Not the easiest day of our lives but by a day we have got over and moved on from.
So here we are nearly five months on and I'm ten and a half weeks pregnant again. Genetically my partner and I are fine, so last time was just bad luck, but we have opted for a cvs next week as we just have to know.
Althought I'm totally at peace inside from the events in june its very hard to remain posiitive that all will be ok this time as we have been that 1:100,000!!
not quite sure what I'm expecting any1 to say- maybe some good news after bad stories , maybe some non judgemental opinions or maybe just air what goes through my head... I don't know.
Sorry if I've gone on abit... Its just nice knowing I'm not alone xxx
