Down syndrome screening results

I don’t think it’s wrong to feel like this at all. Having a baby is a lot. And knowing that this baby may have special needs and therefore require even more from you is also a lot. Your feelings are completely valid. Maybe try and take some time for yourself to try and clear your head / have a think about the situation what would be realistic for you and what wouldn’t. If getting rid isn’t an option for you, but neither would be a future with a child with down syndrome there are other options that you can look into. Try to breathe and take it one day at a time. Your gut will tell you what’s right for you. xx

Hi, firstly, its ok to feel how you are feeling. You're human and anyone who says it doesnt worry them even slightly is likely telling porkies. Pregnancy is anxiety provolking at the best of times.
The unknown is scary but when you hold that baby in your arms it will all feel so different. If it worries you that much then maybe doing some research or speaking to mums with downs children may help.
The test is not as accurate as we think. A lot of people are told their child will have downs and then they dont. Try to focus on planning to meet your baby. You can also plan for the 'what ifs' if that helps. Whatever happens, you've got this and you'll be a great mum. ❤️

I also had a result come back for downs syndrome. Mine was 1 in 81. I had the NIPT test and that came back at a low chance. I'm not saying don't worry because it's a time when you can't help but worry. But just take some comfort in knowing people out there have a lot higher result that turns out fine. I also have gestational diabetes so navigating that too. If you want a friendly ear you can always message me. I know how you're feeling and can definitely relate.
