Hi all,
I too am new here. Thanks for being here although I am very sorry for the circumstances that brought you.
I have one healthy 22 month old son who is just georgeous. I'm not relly sure if I am posting in the right place. Technically I didn't have a miscarriage but I did lose my baby.
I was 13 weeks pregnant with my second child when I had the NT scan. I had to terminate the pregnancy last Thursday as the scan showed many problems with the baby. The baby had mass amounts of fluid under its skin down the length of the back and around the head and neck which developed into a particular type of cyst. They believe this was caused by a blocked duct in the baby which was the result of a chromosome disorder. We had no choice but to terminate as the baby would not have survived to term.
I'm not really sure where to go from here. DH and I were so ready for this baby. We are going to TTC straight away but I have to say I am so scared that this will happen again and we wont be able to have any more children. I can't stop worrying even though the doctors say there was nothing we could have done, it was just unlucky...
We have our followup appt with the OB on the 8th Feb and I can't wait for that. At least we will be able to get confrmation as to whether it was due to a Chromosonal disorder or not.
One of the hardest things is telling everyone that there's no more baby. I haven't been able to face that yet. Thank god for my DH. He has been wonderful handleing that on top of everything else. I am dreading going back to work.
Anyway, that's my story...I hope I haven't rambled on too much. Thanks for all the posts I've read. I'm looking forward to reading many more just for the support and understanding.
