Friend has made me worried & upset
I’m nearly 27 weeks and my best friend sent me a picture of a baby that’s just been born in her family and was saying how she thinks the baby has Down syndrome...fast forward two days later and yes it is confirmed the baby does.
When she initially told me I got a bit worried and now I am just in a state of panic. She went onto tell me how it was completely undiagnosed etc etc and now I can’t stop crying and I’m so scared for my baby. I know it may sound ridiculous and of course I will love my baby no matter what. I said to her I wish you’d never have told me that and now she keeps apologising and asking if I’m okay! When she was pregnant with her baby she wouldn’t even comment on another babies looks without becoming paranoid or superstitious!
The worst thing is I said to everyone I was going to get NIP-T/Harmony test done and she was the main one who said it’s pointless as the NHS tests for all abnormalities and now she’s saying I will 100% get that done next time.
I feel so upset and angry at her. I’m just so worried now 😢 my trisomy 21 chance was 1 in 4400 as well. I just don’t know how to get myself out of this state of panic and worry and paranoia.
