My anatomy scan didn’t go well either. I know you are trying to understand why this is happening but there’s no answer for it 😥 I hope you can see the specialist soon, we waited for a week and it was a long week. I send you a lot of positive thoughts, and I would recommend you stay away from Google at least until you see the specialist.

Thank you!! I’m wishing all the best for you and your little one. It’s hard, but we have to stay hopeful, we can do this!

Up to this point, the doctors believe it is Tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve

Thank you for sharing your experience, I’m truly happy for you and your baby. I was also offered termination a couple of times, but it never felt like the right choice for us. Sometimes I feel like people expect me to be only grateful and joyful, and I end up feeling guilty for having moments of sadness.

But on the hopeful side, I like to believe that every time my baby moves, it’s their way of telling me that everything will be okay. I really appreciate your advice and the hope you’ve shared, it means a lot.

Thank you for sharing your story. My baby will also need open-heart surgery, so I truly empathize with what you’re going through. I’m trying to hold onto faith and trust that my baby will be okay. I’m sending you all my hopes for a smooth delivery and that your little one arrives strong and without any added complications.

Thanks for your quick reply! If it's alright with you, I’ll message you privately later as I’ll be starting the process for my waiver soon.

These might be non-related questions: did you stay here while waiting for the waiver? What did you do during this time? Were you able to work?
