Partner nervous?

Question

So after a concerning ultrasound and inconclusive NIPT results, my partner doesn’t want to get excited and tell people about baby 😞 
I get it, I mean I’m worried too. They gave us 1 in 17 chance baby could have a chromosome disorder. But I’m like 13 weeks and can’t eat half the things I normally do... I dunno. 😞

Answer

Hey. I saw you are in NH, so am I. I did terminate my first pregnancy at 20w5d in April due to triploidy. We didn’t know anything was wrong until our anatomical scan. If you want to chat about anything, feel free to message me! I’ll be thinking of you and wishing you and your babe the best. I understand your husband’s hesitation, but you need whatever support you feel you need as well. That doesn’t necessarily mean a large announcement right now. 💕

Answer

I didn’t want to tell people before our NIPT results because husband and I agreed that we would terminate if there was a defect. (As totally got wrenching as that would be...)
If you’re thinking you might terminate if it’s determined that there definitely is an abnormality, then I would agree to wait to tell people. But if you’ll be moving forward with the pregnancy no matter what then maybe you could tell a few people. But depending on the abnormality baby’s chances might be less...
Are you scheduling a cvs to get more conclusive results?
Crossing my fingers for you that everything comes back fine at your next test. ❤️❤️❤️

Answer

We are in the same boat. I am 1-206 chance of downs and 1-10,000 for Edwards syndrome. I am booked in to have an amnio on the 3rd Jan and we are waiting till we know to announce to the world. Close friends and family know, but want to wait to know for sure. We have already discussed that if there is a problem we will terminate as we have a very very hyper 3 year old who for the last 3 years has had 100% of our attention and to defer from him to that degree would not be fair to either child. I have had 4 miscarriages 2 being this year and now being hit with this. The NT scan came back at 3.5. I am keeping everything crossed and praying that everything will be ok. Keeping everything crossed for you x

Answer

I Understand his concerns and personally wouldn’t tell anyone yet either
