I had scan last wednesday and sonographer told us all was good, everything was as expected at that stage (13+2). Had bloods taken and was told I would get a call within a week if high risk.
A call from the midwife yesterday afternoon whilst I was at work basically to tell me risk is 1/35, I can have an amnio in two weeks time, which they can't do at my local hospital, there's a 1% chance of miscarriage, if positive for abnormalities they'll oFfer me a termination, and could I have a think about it and call them back between 9 and 5 today to make an appointment.
I knew that my risk was going to be high (I'm 40 and this is first pregnangy), so I had researched Harmony, CVS and amnio. I'm not even being offered a CVS and the thought of waiting two weeks for the amnio is just awful.
I booked myself into to FMC on Friday to have CVS, although the have suggested that I just have scan and talk through options first. If I still want procedure they will do it then.
I don't really have a question, I just wanted to share my experience. - haven't slept well, I've cried a lot and I feel numb - as if I've lost before I started and aS if I need to cut myself off before the news gets any worse.
Thanks for listening.
