Okay I posted on here last week. My daughter has a baby with cctga (heart wrong way round and goes throught quite a lot.
She is now 18 weeks pregnanat- been on injections and no periods for 18 mths.
She went for the heart scan and they picked up what they think a small heart left side heart. Its not hypoplastic but will be treated along those line. It will ahve a single ventricle and the aorta is the wrong side and some valves need switching. It also has a big hole in the heart. We have spoke to small hearts matters and they have said that osme children if can survive the first op do very well indeed but at the moment the longest they are living are late thirties...
Shwas offered a termination with her son and he is doing amazing.
What would you do and why and also could she not have a medical termination and be put sleep as the private clinics deal with this dont they as dont think she would have the strength to go through child birth
She is diabetic and her blood suagars all over and going very very low some days... she is an amzing girl, so caring and loving and a fantastic mum.
any advise would be lovely. Thanks and love to all xx
