Trisomy 13
Just found out that our first baby is likely to have Trisomy 13. We opted into screenings at our fist scan, these came back high risk for Downs and revealed that I had a really low PAPP-A count.
Referred for CVS we were hoping the 1:150 risk of Downs was as low as it sounded!
We had a CVS yesterday. It began with a nucheal scan which showed 5 distinct (unmistakable) markers of Trisomy 13!! Devastated ! It wasn't even on our radar as the initial screening said that the chance was 1:1200 for T13!
Proceeded with the CVS (which wasn't pleasant) and now have the agonising wait over the weekend for the official results early next week!
Heartbroken...we will have to terminate! I want a baby so bad , but I could never go through this again!
Anyone bounced back from something like this?? Any words of comfort or experience would be appreciated?!
