WBM, Oh you poor thing! What a horrible situation to be in. I am so sorry for you both. I will pray that they are wrong and your next scan will show that everything is ok.
Allow yourself to grieve hun. SN kids although they take a lot of work are so special and they teach us to much about ourselves. Even with all the extra work I would not give up my mildly SN child for the world hun.
Oh WBM - that is really scary and sad for you. It is also a horrible way to find out such news and I am sure the next 3 wks will be hard for you. Did they offer some counselling?
Big hugs and you will get lots of support on here. xxx
I had a similar sort of experience to you. Not with the bone growth worry, but a different kind of scare. But same thing - 12 week scan was where it was discovered and we had to endure 4wks of waiting until a 16wk scan to confirm if something was wrong.
We too were asked to "consider our options" and we were terrified out of our minds.
DH and I spent lots of time talking together, talking with family (sort of) and a lot of time in prayer.
You need to do what works best for you in this situation - we found that a lot of our friends and even some family could not comprehend the decisions we were facing. Invasive tests that run the risk of miscarriage and a life changing decision. What do you do? We found a lot of people just didn't understand.
I know my situation is a little bit different but the waiting is still the same. I found work the hardest - I wasn't too busy and I had a lot of time when I could sit and think. Thinking was bad!
Sending you lots of - and keeping you in my thoughts.
Hang in there as best you can - you never know, the news might not be so bad or maybe things may be treatable. It doesn't have to be the worst case scenario. Hold onto hope xoxoxoxo
I'm glad you came in here for support, its the best place for it
I have just read through each and everyone's replies (actually I've read them through twice)...
And I would like to say a huge thanks you, I know that words can not change the situation i'm in but they do kind of lighten things, all I don't personally know any of u its just beautiful and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
It's been the longest and hardest 24hrs of our lives and we both have a feeling deep down inside that its the worst case, mainly because the dr said that there is definately a problem, it wasn't a maybe it was a YES.
DH and I have been discussing it all day and when we go back if the results are still the same we're going to ask to go else where to seek a second opinion, which seems the only hope at the moment.
Although we are preparing ourselves for the worse news possible. Its just so hard and confusing.
I'm sorry to keep going on and saying the same things... i think its shock talking.
thanks everyone again
WBM It is perfectly normal to be in shock. We really dont mid you repeating yourself, I know when I am stressing about something I say it over and over and over (there are a few very similar posts from me around the place )
I know that lots of doctors say there is something definitely going on and then get proven wrong. I have been told that DD2 would do things that she cant, and I have been told that she wouldnt do things that she can. I hope for your sake that bubby's legs are just a little slower to grow - or the scan was wrong, and that your next scan shows normal measurements for that stage of development.
No matter what the outcome, we are all here for you hun. Hang in there.
