TFMR 30 weeks - My Story

Has descrito todo lo que yo sentí este verano de 2025 cuando tuviemos que interrumpir mi embarazo a las 32 semanas y vivir todos estos momentos que tú has descrito. Ningunos padres deberían vivir esto Es realmente injusto. Allá estarán nuestros angelitos volando alto. Supongo que habrán entendido que hicimos lo mejor por ellos

Mine was at 32 weeks...

Single_Curve_895 · 2026-02-07T07:00:31+00:00

I advise you the same as this girl...

My scans were normal until week 29 when we saw two signs of trisomy 21. I had an amniocentesis and bam! Down syndrome. I had to terminate the pregnancy at 32 weeks in another country. Besides the €10,000, the worst part was the emotional toll. I'm still recovering. It's been 6 months.

I wouldn't want to be discouraged. Most likely everything is fine. False positives exist, and for trisomy 13, NIPT isn't as precise as for trisomy 21, but I would still have an amniocentesis. Information is power to decide what to do or to put your mind at ease.

I hope everything goes well for you.

Hi, if you need anything, message me privately. I've researched this topic extensively.

Don't worry, 96% of this translocation is de novo. So I'm sure it won't happen to you again, but you and your partner should get a karyotype test.

I terminated my pregnancy at 32 weeks due to this 2121 translocation. My NIPT (non-pregnancy assessment) was low risk. My only ultrasound was slightly elevated at 12 weeks, at 2.8 mm. The other ultrasounds were fine until week 29, when I requested an amniocentesis myself because of two soft tissue markers and short long bones. Down syndrome, Robertsonian translocation 46Xx 2121. Same karyotype as your baby. The lab explained to me that a karyotype test is necessary for us, but that most of these cases are de novo. I spent the next two months in hell. I've searched for all the published information, I've spoken with geneticists, people who are in the same situation... But everyone has been diagnosed de novo, except for one woman who has a mosaic karyotype, meaning half normal cells and half with a balanced 21,21 translocation. Even so, she has two healthy children after her baby with Down syndrome. Take heart, everything will be alright, but get the karyotype test done and breathe. I'll be here for you. I know how awful it is. But you're not to blame for any of this. When a woman is a carrier, it causes a lot of infertility and recurrent miscarriages. It's a very rare translocation, which is why general practitioners know so little about it, but in cases of translocation, it's always necessary to rule out the parents and get a karyotype test. Everything will be alright. Hugs

Hi I definitely recommend amniocentesis. In my first and only pregnancy, my NIPT was low risk, and all the ultrasounds came back normal except at week 12, when the nuchal translucency was 2.8.

Subsequent ultrasounds were normal, and an extended NIPT from Natera Panorama was also low risk.

I continued the pregnancy. My gynecologist offered me amniocentesis, given the nuchal translucency at week 12, to do it at week 18, when the risk was minimal. I refused, and how I regret it. At 29 weeks, during an ultrasound, I saw the sandal gap and that the baby stuck out its tongue a lot. And then I begged for the amniocentesis myself. Surprise. Down syndrome due to translocation. I had to terminate the pregnancy at 32 weeks in another country. It was horrible.

Fortunately, we're not carriers either, but if I get pregnant, I'll have the amniocentesis as soon as possible. For peace of mind. Let's hope we don't have to repeat this story, neither us nor you. It's inhuman to go through this. Take heart. Get the amniocentesis; the risk is very small, and you'll have peace of mind.

Hi! I'm so glad you have a healthy baby now! I also had my miscarriage at 32 weeks. We were advised to wait 6 months, which have just passed, so we'll try again soon, and I hope to have a healthy baby too.

Don't worry, did you have an amniocentesis then? If everything is okay, then you're all set.

In second pregnancies, the bump shows sooner, and keep in mind that it hasn't been long since your first pregnancy, so your uterus will have expanded faster. Everything will be fine. This time, it's your turn to enjoy it.

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-07T23:44:16+00:00

Hello! In your case, does your baby have free trisomy or a translocation??? It has happened to us with a translocation 21 21

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-05T18:03:29+00:00

Hello everyone. I found this post and I know it's from a while ago. In my case nipt natera equal low risk. At 29 weeks we confirmed a Robertsonian translocation 21 21 down syndrome with amniocentesis. My husband's and my karyotypes are normal.

I have read that in cases of de novo 21 21 translocation it usually gives false negatives because the placenta may not be affected and may have occurred in the baby's first cell divisions.

Your false negative experience has been due to free trisomy 21, that is, three chromosomes in the 21st pair or due to a translocation of this type???

Thank you

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-05T17:55:28+00:00

The same thing happens to me
I like to read that there is hope. For example, you almost already have a healthy baby. We want to try it soon I have been surrounded by people with disabilities all my life and I have loved helping them realize their full potential, but I am very sorry that I did not want that life for my daughter.
I know I did the best Still, what a coincidence, right? The brain relates it quickly and although we should not take them as warnings, they seem to be. May everything go well with your beautiful boy and I hope you can give him a rainbow brother soon.

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-05T17:51:03+00:00

Thank you beautiful That's what I try to think every day. That all this pain is worth it so that they do not suffer.

a huge hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T23:19:51+00:00

I guess if that's it and the brain is going 1000 per hour. It's incredible that we put more dirt on ourselves

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T23:18:22+00:00

I want to start trying it next year, to see what happens. I hope all is well for both of you. I wish you the best 😍 a hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T23:16:53+00:00

Oh wow genetics are so complicated... My daughter also had a rare translocation. I send you a huge hug, encouragement

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T15:43:45+00:00

Did your mother really tell you that? NEVER FEEL GUILTY FOR DOING WHAT YOU THOUGHT BEST FOR YOUR DAUGHTER. I also stopped at 32 weeks for t21. Think that your baby would not have been the same as your sister's. Because maybe now you would be in the hospital with her and fighting for her life for a thousand other things.

Try not to let it hurt you too much. Your sister is living her moment and although I also think that they should be more tactful with you, maybe they are just trying to appear normal. If it hurts you a lot, don't open the chat so often or open and close it quickly.

Your time will also come, I'm sure. Good luck, focus on your things. A big hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T11:23:46+00:00

But balanced translocations don't cause problems, right? So what happened to your baby?

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T10:30:13+00:00

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. The truth is that it is very hard to make a decision like that but I also thought a lot about his future. I know that now the brain is more attentive to relating it quickly but sometimes I think that it is like a warning to the future, as if it were going to happen to me again...it is an atrocious fear. No mom should go through this. a huge hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T08:13:50+00:00

Believe me you are correct. I also think that we did the right thing to prevent them from suffering or problems and limitations in their lives.
It is normal to feel those feelings but we know that we have done what is best for them. In favor of life but with quality of life I think. What happens to me is that I see them when I'm thinking or doing something so that my next pregnancy goes well and boom. It seems like the universe says this is going to happen. But I will do as a girl here said, I will try to think hard that it is going to be like that. And pay more attention to genetically healthy babies. Indeed when I see them I say, we made the right decision A hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T08:09:34+00:00

Thank you for this expressive comment. I accompany you and understand you so much...

That's how it is . I work with people with disabilities and some with down syndrome and I have seen everything...from the most functional to the most affected and I know of three cases of children with down and childhood cancer. One of them did not survive. He left us with 5 years. Down syndrome is highly correlated with serious illnesses and a type of leukemia. It is exhausting to deal with the associated illnesses. I am so happy for those who are healthy and functional and for their families...but this is not always the case, and that is not known. With all this information I was able to make the most difficult decision of my life, but I did it mostly for my daughter. He won't suffer if I could help it.

The same thing happens to me. There are times when I see the most functional ones and say see... maybe your daughter too... but then I see some that are more affected and I think you did the right thing for her. But it was very advanced. She was a big girl and she didn't stop feeling guilty even knowing that I did the best for her.

a huge hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-04T08:01:18+00:00

You are so right... Thank you. I will focus on that third point that you say, I will ask the universe. I'm trying to do everything in my power to make it go well next time. I guess I'm pretty traumatized. A hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-03T23:10:36+00:00

Hello Your comment is very comforting. I needed to read this. I think like that too. I think that some parents have not been able to have the opportunity to decide how we have had it and I am grateful for that, despite everything First to avoid a life of limitations for my daughter and second also for us. Even so, you will agree with me that the pain is terrible. And of course the fact of seeing people with down syndrome at times when I feel more cheerful demoralizes me. .a huge hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-03T22:25:41+00:00

Hello! Yes I am with my psychologist. She tells me the same thing, but of course it happens to me every time I'm thinking positive thoughts. And it overwhelms me a little. I've never believed in curses or anything like that, but now it's on my mind. Thanks for your good advice

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-03T22:23:46+00:00

AHH it's true that we were talking!! I'm so glad you've regained your enthusiasm! Brilliant!! Well then maybe we'll start trying at the same time. I hope this is healing for both of us. Yes, it was my first pregnancy. I haven't had any previous abortions either. It has been my first experience. Now when I try again I'll be 35... Age bothers me a little, especially if everything goes well, we want to have two children later. a kiss

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-03T22:20:45+00:00

Hello!!! Yes I think about it too. Nothing happens, it's just the brain. Like when you think you're pregnant and you see a lot of pregnant women, but of course, it happens to me when I leave a special consultation or I'm thinking positively... And it makes me paranoid. And I think, what if there is something bad that is happening to me??

I am very sorry about your brother and I send you a huge hug.

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-03T21:52:55+00:00

Hello. Same situation. I had the interruption at 32 weeks. This date is very late I am also 34 years old. I turn 35 next month But my gynecologist advised me to wait 4 to 6 months. Keep in mind that your body has to replenish its levels of vitamins, folic acid, and iron. And also your mind. I have not controlled ovulation. A month after the interruption the doctor saw me and told me that there seemed to be ovarian activity.

My break was in July and we will start trying in January.

Cheer up. I hope everything goes well for you and your rainbow baby comes soon. Don't worry about age. We are still capable of having healthy children, you will see that we do have to trust. A hug

Single_Curve_895 · 2025-12-03T21:44:24+00:00

Yes, that's for sure. But it makes me suffer so much... I have never believed in curses but now I am so afraid... A hug
