Chromosomal AbnormalitiesI (23F) and my boyfriend (31M) are expecting out 2nd child together this March/April. I went in last Thursday for my 1st trimester ultrasound and found that his/her NT (nuchal translucency) was measuring large, at 3.3. This along with previous genetic blood work I had done put us at a 1 in 5 chance of this child having some kind of chromosomal abnormality. To say I was shocked is a massive understatement. I felt numb but also the worst pain I had ever felt in my life. My bf was working at the time, and I was alone when receiving this news which made it worse. I feel so lost, scared, sad and confused. I’ve been crying multiple times a day since that appointment and it’s taking me a while to wrap my head around this. I’m scheduled to have a amniocentesis on Tuesday of next week and this will help get some answers. My bf is not quite on board with the amniocentesis and is scared of the risks for both me and baby. Which of course, I am too. But I cannot go the rest of the pregnancy wondering what is happening with my baby.Not sure the point of writing this, I guess I’m just looking for some kind words of encouragement or words of wisdom for anyone who has gone through something similar. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2mJIuFC
