    U/s are known to be wrong honey (speaking from experience)..please oh please dont take this u/s that you had as gospil.

    I can understand your tears and pain in what you were told. No-one ever expects the baby they are carrying to have anything wrong with them. A baby is something pure...made from love to utter perfection. If something is not correct then its terrifying.

    Try looking at a positive hon as hard as it is at the moment....he'll have (sorry I am assuming sex here) a heart to beat, a brain to think with and a face to take your breath away. You'll hold him in your arms and be taken away with the love that is the bond between the 2 of you.

    Dont let the idea of a special needs child scare you....their given to extra special mummies

    Thank you alioops, maz & mis_tree,

    Your words all mean so much to us, and we have so much to think about, but the best part is knowing that u have all taken the time to read our thread and write to us.
    We both know that everyone has different opinions and they are all taken on board, but we are also both aware that at then end of day it is the hardest decision of our lives so far we've had to make and it's going to be one that we think long and hard about.

    thanks everyone xxx

    What evryone else has posted on here for you is great advice!!
    We also were given worst case senario from our ultrasounds and I had an amnio to rule out other awful things...at 22 weeks I was given the option to terminate which was heart wrenching! We decided against that thank god!!!
    5 months ago we had a beautiful healthy little boy who like matilda's mummy is classed as special needs but only due to having a cleft lip. His palate is all in tact and nothing else that we were expecting is wrong!!!
    So I can sympahthise with you and my happy thoughts are coming your way....try not to worry till you get more scans and advice and research research research what you can to get your head around things!!!
    Ultrasounds aren't the be all and end all.....remember babies are born all the time with problems that aren't detected in utero....you will be more prepared IF it is a serious problem!!

    Thank you Leisha & everyone,
    It's been a few days since I've posted and I've just been taking the time to get my head around everything, well try at least.
    I think I have gotten over the initial shock and now and just considering every option depending on the outcome of the next ultrasound in 2wks and 1day (not that i'm counting :-P)
    And all the words of everyone writing to me has really mad eme think even harder. I have read all of the messages to wonderful husband and he can't believe how lovely complete strangers are, so thank you from him and me.
    I just thank god everyday that i have already been blessed with our beautiful son Brock and whatever the outcome is he brightens up our world.
    So thanks again and I will update again soon.
    xxx
