DS chance 1 in 140 - age 35

melodramaticpumpkin

Hi everyone
So this is my second child.
My first child is 9 and was born unexpectedly very poorly. She has severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy and epilepsy, very high medical needs, tube fed, non mobile and non verbal.
Conceiving has taken us years of losses and ket downs.

Today i got a call saying we have a 1 in 140 chance of Down syndrome. Pre my daughter i wouldnt care, obviously i would worry re heart issues etc.

But im so worried. This week of waiting is going to be agonising. :( had another blood test today which will narrow it down further and see if we need an amniocentesis

No point to my post. Just feel sad and worried

zoeeoz

Didn’t want to read and run, nothing to say other than that’s super tough . You have to think of your existing circumstance but it’s such a wished for baby. I hope that it’s the 139 not the 1 xx
