Heartbroken at 18 weeks 5 days ๐Ÿ’”

Oh ladies I feel so lost , everything was going so well, I was blooming and we were so excited. We had our 12 week scan but baby was doing a handstand and refused to move so we had to have a quad test as they couldnโ€™t do any measurements. The quad test came back with high levels of alphafetoprotein so I had to have a scan at 16 weeks for them to check. Again little one was doing a handstand and wouldnโ€™t move so had to go back the following week. This is when the consultant told us he could see abnormalities. Our little Gummy Bear had spina bifida, a cleft lip, a lemon shaped head and kidney issues and tallies. They did an amniocentesis test and the results came back to say it was Trisomy 13.

We were devastated and although it was a such a heartbreaking decision we chose to let our Gummy Bear sleep with the angels. It would have been so cruel to put her through any pain, even if she did make it to full term, the chances of her surviving after birth were slim. We are crushed and Friday just gone we said our goodbyes.

Sleep tight little Gummy Bear, we will love you forever ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’”

Sorry for the ramble ladies , I just needed to share.

Wishing you all baby dust ๐Ÿ’•

Hi.I am very sorry to hear about what has happened . I also know what you are going through . I let my baby to go to sleep at 24 weeks as he had hydrops .

It was two years ago and I still feel loss and guilt .

I didn't get any help as the hospital was very slow and in the end I dealt with it myself.

Feel free to contact me .

I am so sorry that you have had to go through this. I went through this almost 2 years ago and my only advice is take your time to grieve and definitely speak to a counsellor of you can when youโ€™re ready. I didnโ€™t and the guilt ate me up for a year. Sending you lots of love and if you need a chat message me.
