Anyone in the uk been awake for their d&e and if so what was your experience? I am 26 and will be facing a d&e in a few weeks due to my baby having Edwards syndrome. I am absolutely terrified of having general anaesthetic because I’ve had a few episodes of strange heart rhythms in the past although nothing has ever been diagnosed, as the symptoms didn’t occur when I was on the holter monitor.
Had my NIPT result back today and it was positive for Edwards syndrome. My partner and I are absolutely heartbroken. We are 26, it took us 16 months to conceive and this was our first pregnancy. It feels like we may never be parents with the luck we are having. Devastated 💔
Anyone actually had a healthy natural pregnancy? I have PCOS and my partner and I struggled massively with conceiving. I do ovulate every month but the doctor said it’s likely the quality of the eggs I do release that’s the problem. We eventually conceived after nearly 2 years and now been told our baby is high risk for Down syndrome. I can’t help but feel like my eggs are just doomed, not good enough to fertilise and now the one that does were faced with this. I have the worry of what if this happens everytime? UPDATE: results show baby has Edwards syndrome💔
