    Hi and welcome to BB. I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter, my heart goes out to you. Three years ago my baby was born sleeping, he had Trisomy 13 which is a chromosone abnormality and had many deformities. I know how scary it is for your TTC again hoping the same thing doesn't happen again. I hope you find the answers you need. There is a private termination group which can offer you great support through this time. Your precious little girl will always remain close to your heart.

    Regards,
    Dianne

    Hi,
    I am sorry to have read your story. You have been through a terrible time, especially with the Drs changing their diagnosis all the time. I have not personally dealt with a late loss, but wanted to offer you some support.

    Good luck with your journey

    I am very sorry for what you and your family have been through.

    I wanted to let you know there is a volunteer counsellor in Adelaide who you can talk over the phone. She her self has gone through pregnancies similar to yours. Jaylee now has a beautiful healthy boy being told she had a 1 in 4 chance.

    You can ring her any time of day she really is a beautiful person to talk to

    My baby Noah was born sleeping 3 years ago due to abnormalities of his urinary tract, kidneys and lungs... he also had numerous other abnormalities. We also had to terminate him due to this

    However we never got any answers back from the autopsy and didn't get a chance to see a genetic counsellor as I fell pregnant 3 months after having Noah with our son Harrison who was born beautifully healthy and is now 26 months old.

    I am also now pregnant with another baby and the morphology scan shows this baby is fine too.

    I guess what I am trying to say is that yes the stress will still be there in the next pregnancy, but the chances of your baby being healthy too could be very high.
    Wishing you all the very best... I am very sorry for the loss of your beautiful little angel Abbi.
