Help please

I had a little boy and at my 20 week scan found out he had a very poorly heart now I am pregnant again what are the chances of something happening with this baby ? Has anyone had a poorly baby then had another little bundle of joy and had/hadn't had something wrong please help

If u feel that there is something wrong with your unborn child ask for regular scans they will do it because u have had a poorly baby before but don't worry it's very rare it will happen again unless it is a hereditary condition

Depending on the health status of your last pregnancy you may well be offered extra scans at your local hospital to monitor the baby's wellbeing, but as you may already know having had a child previously it's important to roughly monitor the movements of the baby after the initial 1st trimester of pregnancy.

I imagine it may be easier for me to say this but stay strong & try not to think about it too much as we're lucky enough to live in a country where we have new & developing medical procedures to deal with these things.
