The hospital called me to say my results have come back and are;
1 in 95 (background age risk was 1 in 740). (I am 29).
Scan was inconclusive. They couldn't see as baby would not get in the correct position. I then asked if another scan would help, they said no.
I feel at such a loss. We discussed at the beginning that we both work full time, he works for the emergency services and we have two children (1 each) 6 years old and 8 years old and both boys need us. They both live with us (my partner has full rights to his son).
I know it may be upsetting for some to read the next part but we have to put our children who are here first and a baby with DS has a huge impact and needs round the clock care, we cannot provide that, as well as financially. This is not an easy decision, but one we have thought over carefully.
I feel selfish, like a monster and depressed.
I have the options to either leave it and carry on and hope for the best.
Have the CVS test.
Harmony test.
Harmony test sounds the best route but its £345, its a big blow for us.
The CVS scares the hell out of me, I couldn't bare to find out the baby is perfectly fine but it then causes an infection or breaks my water in turn then ending my pregnancy.
Just feel really emotional and so confused.
Anyone else experience this, what was your percentage, what did you do and what was the outcome? Thank you.
