The nuchal translucency test showed Down syndrome.
ManonGuest ·
Hi everyone.
On 7/3 I had a flocculation test done since I’m 38 years old and pregnant for the first time. To everyone’s surprise, it showed that the baby had Down syndrome. Now, I don’t want to judge anyone, but I thought it was best to end the pregnancy. Two weeks later, I have doubts and feelings of guilt, but well, I can’t go back on it, of course. Who else has been through this?

Oh my, I really feel for you.
I don't have any experience with this, but I'm sure you've made a well-thought-out decision that felt right for you.
Guilt is something I can totally understand, and no matter how hard it is, you'll find a way to make peace with it.
Wishing you lots of strength.

Hi Manon,
That’s such a tough situation for you/you all.
I haven’t been through it myself, but I wish you lots of strength to find a place for this.
That’s the hardest part about these kinds of choices that you can’t turn back, it makes it really hard to process.
Maybe it would be good to ask for professional emotional/psychological support, so you can give it a good place and stuff.
Strength!
