Mosaic turners diagnosis
So I've searched on here and not found much about how things turned out with babies diagnosed in utero with turners. I received news today that our baby girl is confirmed to have turners. We had blood work come back anormal, opted to receive the amniocentesis (which sucks ass btw), and received the test results today that she does indeed have turners. We have an appointment Monday to speak with our genetic counselor again, to hopefully gain some clarity on what the right decision is for us moving forward. With mosaic turners, the spectrum is so incredibly broad as to what it actually means for our little girl. I do not want to bring a child into this already hard world if she's going to suffer. Sadly the testing won't really tell us the severity until she's here. Scans so far have looked ok, but I know that can change with hydrops, neck webbing, heart issues, Kidneys, cystic hygroma, etc etc etc. Everything I've been reading up on basically says the same thing with there being such a wide spectrum of how babies will be affected. Everything from basically ok with minimal medical issues, all the way to NICU with heart surgeries and a long ass list of lifelong medical issues. I feel like if we terminate, I will constantly think about the "what ifs" and if she was basically ok minus a few issues. If we continue with the pregnancy and have our little girl, and she ends up with a ton of issues that cause suffering and hard lifelong medical issues, I'll never forgive myself for her suffering. It's such a shit situation will very few answer to help guide our decision. Religion doesn't play a part in our decision, so that's not something I want people arguing about on here. I respect others views and choices, and how they chose to live their own lives. I would just love some insight from women who have gone through similar weather you lost the baby, chose to terminate, or decided to have your baby girl. I want to gear the good, bad, and the ugly unfiltered reality of life with turners. All I know is that I've been bawling all day, and I'm so incredibly heartbroken for my baby girl. I'm lucky that my husband is my rock, and always tries to look at the positive. This is our first pregnancy ever, and from the get go it's been a very rocky road, we were so hoping for a better second trimester and rest of pregnancy/having a baby.
