I am 39 and I'm in my 10+weeks. I am to make a decision to do the test or not. The thing is, I had a terrible experience 3 years ago with my previous test. I did the blood test n scanning. And from the scanning results, the doc told me that my baby's nuchal translucency was thick and he had no nasal bone, which resulted to a recommendation of termination. Both me and my spouse were devastated. It's was so stressful that I was crying almost daily and also affected my husband's work performance. But the both of us took the decision to keep our baby as we will accept whatever the outcome of our baby. It was the most terrible few months til labour.
Even in labour, while I'm having contractions, pushing my baby out, the doc was still reminding us that our baby will be down syndrome. My world came down to pieces. But with God's grace and love, my baby turn out normal and healthy. Imagine if I heed their advice when they told me to terminate my pregnancy, what would I have lost?
Now I have a healthy 2.5 year old active boy. Totally fine and nothing wrong.
And now, I am in a situation where I don't know if I should do the test again or not? It's really taking alot in my mind now and I have to make decision by 23rd Nov. I don't want to go through another stressful pregnancy.
Please help me mommies.
