This is such a personal an emotive issue for everybody. I had my test last week seeing a fully intact baby with nuchal fold of 1.6 heart rate good all fine. Had bloods done which when they came back on age alone put my risk at 1.196. An extremley low PAPP-A level put our risk at 1.16 and we were devestated. For us the personal decision to terminate a child with other trisomy factors other than downs is one we are still thinking about.

We are not sure how we would handle loosing a child shortly after birth due to severe abnormalities. We both had children in our fmailies with severe special needs so are fully aware of what may lay ahead of us. We cannot make an appointment till Monday to see the fetal assemant clinic. Our Doctor didnt want us to have this scan but I begged becasue I needed to see the baby and now am dealing with the results so it is something to weigh up..I could have remained blissfully unaware

Our minds may change..it may be taken out of our hands and into the hands of a higher being..a few weeks back I could say without a doubt I could never terminate..now so very many ifs an buts surround our future.

We are however remainign positive..its a risk not a definate until its laid in front of us so to speak.

I wish you the best of luck and strength and conviction in your decision on testing and any outcome..may it be a beautiful healthy baby.
