Skeletal dysplasia
So at 12 weeks I found out my baby has severe leg deformities , but they still didn't know what it was. I didn't want to terminate because I wanted a second opinion. They did some blood test to test for Down syndrome and trisomy and those came out normal so I was happy to know that and that it also is a boy. Today I had my second opinion/ ultrasound, I'm 15 weeks and 5 days and there's more to it, the arms are also deformed , ribs, and the baby's brain is not developing well /there's a lot of fluid around it. Baby's legs and arms are measuring 3 weeks behind.I did an amniosentisis to find out more and it's really heart breaking to know that I could have more children like this. I'm 18 years old so I'm happy I found this out early instead of later on. I am getting an abortion soon, it sucks I don't have emotional support from my grandmother who raised me she says people who abort for what ever reason are criminals,But I'm just really trying to stay positive , choose what's best and live my life the best way I can. I love children and want healthy children in the future. It hurts to see little babies or toddlers when I go to these appointments because I wish I had that such of a blessing.And what I want to say to those who are pregnant with healthy babies God bless you and your family.
