Something wrong-UPDATE

the hospital just called... i have to go there at 4pm as they think there is something wrong with my little girl.... God i want to die right now.

Why do they think something is wrong with your little girl?

OMG, Is that all they told you???

Good Luck, I hope that everything is ok....

Did they give any more explanation? Why do they think that?

I hope it's nothing serious

Hope everything is OK -

Emz, Is that all they said? If so, how sensless and tactless.
i send you lots of positive thoughts and love. I hope we hear soon that things are okay.
Have you got someone to go with you to give you some support?
You are in my thoughts,
Love Deb

I can't believe they told you like that :shock:

Hopefully it's nothing serious and they have worried you for nothing :evil:

Big hugs Emz...hopefully everything is alright.Its so cruel how they told you over the phone like that.

Emma thinking of you and your little girl.
Hope everything is okay.

I can't believe that is all they told you.

Hope all is ok with you both Emma.
Thinking of you :hug:

Nic

Emz, I hope all is Ok.. I will be thinking of you...

yup, thats all they said- it went like this

Doc:Emma?
me:yes?
Doc- oh i thought you werent going to be home
me- well i am (thinking who the hell is this)
doc- im from the hospital, we think there could be a prolem with the baby from looking at the scan, what are you doing this afternoon
me- nothing
doc- ok well can you come in at 4, we arent sure so try not to get too upset
me- where do i go?
doc- womens health
me- ok ill see you at 4
doc- ill let them know you are coming

that was it.....

Emz....that is SO unprofessional of them to freak you out over the phone like that. They should simply have requested you come in this afternoon to discuss some results from a scan.

I pray everything is ok for you and your baby girl!

Oh Emma thats just so horrible.If it were me I'd be ringing them back and demanding some sort of answer so I could get my head around it before going in and to maybe do research on the net.

Big hugs sweetie......Hope it all goes well....... [-o<

Emma I hope everything is ok

emz how scary ... I hope everything is okay with your little one. [-o<

Emz you poor thing I hope your little bubba is ok Im sure it is nothing these docs love to worry us for no reason!

Emz, i hope everything is ok, i'll be thinking of you.

Just so you know how much these people worry for nothing. With DD i had my 19w scan and they said there was something wrong with her heart and umbilical cord and theres a chance she had downs syndrome. So had another scan at 21w with a specialist and before she even did the scan she said its probably nothing and they are just covering their backs. Needless to say where was nothing wrong and she just had a calcium deposit in her heart. Definatly no downs syndrome.

Emma - I hope it is all ok for you. we will all be thinking of you :grouphug:

emma - oh honey thats not what you ever want to hear - hope you took a big stick to beta that Dr with!!! hope its all good... please let us know - thinking of you...

Emma... I know exactly what it feels like to get a phone call like that and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I hope you and bubby are ok.

Emma
Fingers crossed for you hun.

How did things go, Emma? I hope everything is okay!

Thinking of you...

Are you back yet Emma? I've turned the volume right up on my computer so I can hear when I get an email.
I have been thinking of you so much.
Love
Deb [-o<

Praying that everything is O.K for you and your little girl! [-o<

I hope everything went well Emma!!

Please let us know how it went.

I hope everything is ok Emma! Thinking of you...

Im back.....

they are pretty sure that my little girl has downs......

we have to have that needle test tomorrow and get the result on monday- but from what he was saying its a pretty sure thing.

we were told we have to "make a decision" and we dont have much time to think about it.

i dont want to do either.

The worst thing is she wont stop kicking me- i love her so much and every time she does it reminds me of that and the fact that i dont want to do either of the options.

im only 24!

oh how scary! I hope everything goes well this arvo at the scan. *hugs*

Oh Emma...Im so sorry :hug:

Oh emma, so sorry to hear your news! What a terrible thing you are going through. Remember despite what everyone says you need to do what is best for you and your family, seek some advice from proffessionals, talk to your loved ones and look after yourself.

Emma,

There is an article on BellyBelly Expecting a Baby With Down's Syndrome. I hope you have lots of support and information around you - do your research before you make this difficult decision and perhaps get in touch with some other mums with Down's children. All the best sweety...

Emz,
I am so sorry for the shock of this difficult news.

I can only imagine how awful this is for you and your partner.

The following is the phone number of the Downs Syndrome Association of Victoria. Someone there may be able to give you some help at this late time of the day. 03 94862377 - there is a number to call after hours on their message.

It sounds like they are fairly certain of this diagnosis. However, it isn't over until you get the results of your amniocentesis. You should be able to get that result within 24 hours.

Yes, you love your daughter and you need some help to make some decisions if the news is not good tomorrow. Don't be hurried into a decision by a practitioner who says you need to make a quick decision. The decision you and your partner make will affect the rest of your lives. This is a decision that no family should have to make.

If I can help you by being an ear or if I can help you to get some support please contact me on my email. I can phone you if you need.

I send you love and a hug.
Deb

Emma
If I can be of any help in any way at all please let me know.

Huge hugs Emma, & like others have said don't rush into a decision. Even though they have said you don't have lots of time on your side you do have the right to make a totally informed choice no matter what you choose.

Emma I am so sorry to hear that you have such a though decision to make. I hope you have some really good support around you to help you get through this and make the right decision for you. :grouphug:

Hi Emz,

We are going through this at the moment, amniocentisis isnt anything to fear and its pretty conclusive. I am glad to see you had some encouragement from your post I had posted a week ago when we found out our little boy had something wrong.

My oldest brother has arthrogriphosis which is a debilitating handicap and I know how hard it is to raise a child with an incredibly complex disability so all I can say is please keep your chin up till you really really know. They can be wrong and im also only 26years old with 2 perfect children and absolutely no reason for any abnormality.

Please see a genetic consultant as they are in place to talk to you about all these issues. Not just offer options they can put you in touch with people that can provide support. Downs children are very loving and gorgeous but you need to make the decision that is write for you.

I know how you feel on the kicking, you just cant get your head around what you have been told with this little baby kicking you morning, noon and nite.

Please let us know how you are going and make sure you get some support as I know its the worst time in the world.

all my hugs

Lindie

:hug: Hugs to you and your family Emma.

Take some time to comprehend this information, ask all the questions you can, seek advice from others who have been there and think about your future (down both possible paths). Speak openly and honestly with your partner as to how you feel and what lies ahead.

Good luck in your decision. You know we are all here for you when you need us.

:flower: Kas

Emma I'm so sorry to hear your news. You and your family are in my thoughts at this time.
Ask them as many questions as possible and see what help you would get.

:hug: :hug:

Emma, you poor darling. When I was pg with Charlie I had the same thing: they thought something was wrong, so I had to have an amniocentisis. So I truely know how dreadful you must be feeling.....it is a terrible place to be in, so huge hugs to you.

Just try & stay calm until you get the results of the amnio back. (I know that it is impossible.) But these results are the only thing that can give you a definate answer on Downs...the nuchal fold and the morphology scan cannot give a conclusive answer I don't think.

The waiting for the results will feel like forever. Just hang in there.

I will pray for you that the scans are givinga misleading indication, and that your amnio results show your baby girl as being perfect.

I will be thinking of you. xx
