Has anyone been through this?
Hello, I am a mom to a beautiful 2 year old girl who was conceive after two unsuccessful ivf cycles. In September whilst on our first family holiday to Scotland I discovered I was pregnant, naturally this time and baby would be born at the end of May 2013. It was such an amazing surprise, not only the news itself but also knowing that's could get pregnant after all. We did all the tests as I am at high risk of ectopic but all came back perfect. Well that was until the 14th of November when we went for the nt scan and we discovered our baby was at high risk of having either trisomy 13 or 18. I was advised to have a cvs which I did and then we waited for the results. The results came back as the doctor had expected, our baby had trisomy 13 and was a baby girl just as I had felt all along. The next day I went to discuss the results with my obgyn and after I told her I didn't feel the baby move in recent days she checked the baby and she could not find the heartbeat. My baby was 13 weeks and 3 days old, I named her Francesca. I was sent for another ultra sound which confirmed the same finding. I was admitted for a missed miscarriage the same day under general anesthesia.
I am still grieving and trying to understand why this has happened. I am not allowing myself to think about it too deeply as I need to move on with my life and look after my family and I need to get out of bed every morning. I am wondering if there are any other women who have been through something similar who wouldn't mind sharing their experiences and how they went on with their lives after such loss. I know I would love more kids but I am so frightened of having this happening again, I am now sure I could ever go through it again. Thanks in advance.
