In reguards to the people that say, you wouldnt terminate a pgcy. When you are faced with a decision that your child could possibly have something terribly wrong you are faced with so many questions for yourself.
I would never ever have thought that I would be faced with such a decision.
Some of the questions I had to ask myself were:
What sort of life will my baby be facing?
How would my children cope?
How would my DH and my marriage cope?
Then you are also faced with:
How am I ever going to live with myself if I had to make this decision.

It is one thing having a m/c, but knowing that there is a decision in your hands that could affect your whole life for the rest of your life is just the most heart wrenching.

My NT scan gave me a 1 in 28 chance of a baby with DS. It was one of the most agonising waits just to have the results from the CVS, but I doubt very much whether I would have coped thru out the whole pg if I didnt know for sure, as well as after a certain point for me due to previous c/s's I had to make a decision quickly JIC the worst was to happen.

I hope I havent upset anyone, but you really have to be certain with what ever you decide is it the best for the baby as well as you and your family. When faced with decisions like this it is never taken lightly.

So whoever is going to go thru with their NT scan and you end up with a high risk result, make sure the decision you make is the right one for you as to whether you want to do a CVS or amnio or not.....

to all....
