Hi ladies
Ive had real issues getting hold of fetal medicine to find out if they had a plan of sorts for me (i think really I was just looking for some sort of assurance). The consultant who saw me for my tfmr has left the hospital so I was at a loose end.
Finally managed to speak to a nurse yesterday, who said she'd speak to the doctor to find out what she thought was relevant.
Anyways I've just received a call from her again, saying she's spoken to the doctor and the doctor has agreed that I can bypass the normal screening, in favour of cvs, because our angel had ds with severe life threatening abnormalities. I obviously knew that but I didn't think it could be over and above ds. So now I'm freaking out.
I don't really fancy a big needle through my belly but equally imagine the breath I could exhale if results showed we have a healthy pregnancy?
I know it's the right thing to do and if they hadn't have suggested it, I might have considered asking for it, but now they have suggested it, I'm so worried about this baby and whether she will be healthy :(
I've said to DH I'll do it but god forbid it ends with a miscarriage or if the result is a nasty one.
Has anyone had a cvs? Has anyone had a tfmr for ds with severe abnormalities? I always feel like there must be a medical reason for these things going wrong, & one of my thoughts was that when I fell pregnant with my angel, I had ovulated naturally which was probably not a good egg as I suffer with fairly severe PCO. So, clutching at straws here, maybe that was the reason for Aloha ' s abnormalities? And because I've been on clomid, hopefully producing fat healthy eggs, this one's a winner?
Eek I know I'm over thinking things, but I just want this to all work out ok :( I'm thrown that cvs had been recommended.
