At our 20 week scan, we found out our son had a neural tube defect encephalocele and other facial abnormalities that weren't compatible with life (absent nasal bone, cleft lip/palet). We had our D&E on 6/3/2022 at 21W3D. Our genetic counselor advised us to get a microarray diagnostic test done to find out any information as to what happened. Our main goal was to find out if this was a genetic condition that had a high chance of recurrency. Everything came back normal. We are completely shattered and heartbroken at the loss of our baby. But at the same time, we are relieved that his condition had nothing to do with our genetic compatibility. We are also relieved that we have gotten past the final step of this whole process. I recovered from the procedure with the exception of some light brown spotting. Now I can focus on healing emotionally, taking the new prenatal vitamins recommended by my midwife, and getting my period back so that we can start our TTC journey soon.
