Genetic test anxiety
I’m 8w+6 and 38 y/o (will be 39 when I deliver). Second baby. First is almost 4. Went for my first ultrasound 2 days ago and everything looked great (and ruled out an ectopic which was a HUGE relief). Scheduled my NIPT at 12 weeks and second trimester ultrasound including nuchal translucency scan at same time. and honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through it. I’m trying to stay off Google but it’s so hard to have this uncertainty and fear, especially given my age. How did you handle it? Any words of reassurance or anything you can share? I’m trying not to get excited just because the first scan went well but it's really f’ing hard.
