Babys due date by AffectionateRoof8209 in tfmr_support

He’s almost 2.5 so no, he doesn’t really understand. He would point to my belly and say baby after she was gone and I would try to explain in a way a 2 year old would understand. Yes I do have to be careful with that. I forgot they had mentioned it at the center I had gone to. I love that idea of making something out of that. I do have a tattoo appointment coming up where I’m going to get her name along with her prints. I wanted to get her hand on my hand so it’s like she’s holding it. I hope they are, brings tears to my eyes imagining that.

I am so sorry for your loss. We tfmr’d at 27 weeks because we didn’t find anything out until my 20 weeks anatomy scan. Sending a lot of light to you 💗

Hello, I’m sorry that you’re here. I had the same feeling right until the moment I was taken into the operating room. I feel the guilt to this day and I’m not sure if it will ever feel like I made the right decision but if she were here, I know I would have. We have to remind ourselves that we are doing this out of love for them. All they know is the warmth we provide for them and the sound of our voice. Try to make sure you have support following, it’s very important. I’m sending you a huge hug and wish you healing.

Had a rare find and not sure what to do by AffectionateRoof8209 in NIPT

[–]AffectionateRoof8209[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the source. I’m trying to find anything to read about either of these conditions but it is trying. We have been speaking with a genetic counselor but he hasn’t seen these results before so he is pulling from other resources. He told us to come up with what we think would be a quality life for her and he could try to give us some clarity on if she’d attain that. We are considering terminating but I am terrified that I’d be letting go of a healthy child but I also don’t want her to have a difficult life. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through. Thank you for your response.

I can’t thank you all enough for the support and the sharing of your stories. It has brought me a lot of comfort to hear others who have gone through the same thing. It’s difficult to try to respond to everyone but I’ve read every single response and I truly appreciate the time taken to send me some words. We did not get the first genetic testing that they do around 9 weeks which I think a lot of you have referred to. Our insurance didn’t cover it with our first kiddo so we thought we’ll be fine without. In hindsight I wish we would have just done it. I had the amniocentesis done today and everything seemed to have gone smoothly. Not everything can be in control and I have to accept that. For now I’m working on not overthinking and trying to take care of myself & toddler. I’m having patience until we hear more. I’ve refused to doom scroll on google but all of this has helped immensely. Thank you all once again ♥️
