I am 16 weeks pregnant and sooooo worried. I have two beautiful healthy boys 13 and 10. At 11 weeks had blood work and u/s done. Nasal bone was present and neck thickness in normal range. Blood and age put my risk of 1:120 of having a baby with ds. At 16 weeks I had another u/s done and they found a EIF -soft marker in the heart of my baby boy. Still have not gotten my blood work yet. And the soft marker will increase my risk. Can not stop crying! I will not have an amnio as I feel I could not terminate my baby anyway so I do not see the point with the added risk of losing the baby. Could not live with myself if I miscarry. Knowing at my age I will most likely not try again. The stress is unbearable. I am trying to enjoy the pregnancy and it seems so difficult. I loved being pregnant and I am sorry I did not try for the third when I was younger. I pray that all is well and that I am worrying for no reason. I wish I would of not tested at all. I want to believe that god gives us what we need to grow and become better people but its hard not to cry and blame myself for trying to have a baby at my age. I am so torn and need someone to talk to. My husband is not wanting to say anything of think about it. He tells me the baby is going to be fine. But what if he's not?
