  1. 1/ We’re at 35 weeks 6 days today, the same point at which Cs youngest came. It’s been a stressful experience since the abnormal test results following the 12 week scan (high #nuchaltranslucency, low #PAPP-A). After much deliberation, we had an #amniocentesis and an agonising three week wait for the results which to our great relief were all clear.

  2. Great news, the #Amniocentesis result came back as all clear. Doctors still concerned about the initial nuchal translucency reading, and the femur length is small - second percentile, so we have additional growth scans booked. 23 weeks tomorrow.

  3. Had appointment with foetal specialist yesterday and they casually told us our little one has a 1/7 likelihood of #Downsyndrome or some other #chromosomal condition. We were offered an #Amniocentesis which will determine whether or not this is the case. C is really struggling and I’m going through a lot of emotions. Do we really want to know the result? How would it impact us and little one? We’re older parents - is it fair on the unborn child to have to fend for themselves in 40 years time?
