Heartbroken
We went for my anatomy scan Thursday and after a perfectly normal 12w ultrasound and low risk NIPT found that there is severely low amniotic fluid. I was sent to MFM yesterday and am not leaking fluid, but the doctor was not sure what is causing the lack of fluid. She explained if it doesn’t increase by Tuesday, the prognosis is fatal for our baby girl. She didn’t seem hopeful and I am realistic and understand the probable outcome. We would TFMR as the baby’s lungs would not develop. I am horrified, heartbroken, and absolutely crushed. The sight of my husband’s quivering lip and tears keeps replaying in my head- we are devestated. Going from being told we are having a healthy daughter to being robbed of that overnight, it’s a nightmare. Life seems so cruel and I am just wondering how to cope with this, how to cope with telling everyone in our lives what is happening. I pray that it is possible to have a healthy pregnancy after a D&E, and how do I even find the strength to get through that procedure?
