April 2025 Babies 🇺🇸

Struggling mentally right now 😔

So I had the NIPT test done and the results came back as low fetal dna so they called to have a redraw and it came back the same results. Well at my appointment last week before I got the results my dr had told me that could mean there’s a chromosome disorder or even Down syndrome. No matter what I will love my child but I feel sad and defeated because I just wanted a healthy pregnancy. I feel like I’m in denial. Another reason it can come back with that result is because of my weight so I guess in my head I keep writing it off as that’s the cause so now I’m going to high risk sooner than my anatomy scan as I already see high risk because I had preeclampsia that progressed to hellp syndrome. I just wanted this time to be different I wanted to enjoy my pregnancy and be excited and this has been such a set back because I’m worried about the chromosome disorders because some of those are basically a death sentence. I’m so hurt by all of this news to the fact I can’t even cry about it I don’t know if it’s the in denial or if I’m just casually walking into depression. I go in next Thursday to high risk to discuss further genetic testing not sure if they are refuting to sticking a long needle into my belly but I’m just heart broken now.
