I just found out that the baby I am carrying has high risk of Down syndrome. My Husband wants to keep it. I don't. I don't think I will be able to cope and I am very horrified and ashamed that I might have done something in this pregnancy to cause this. I don't know what I did wrong. I never drank a sip of alcohol. I quit my job and take care of myself very well in this pregnancy. What should I do.

If u dont want to keep it, then dont. It's ur pregnancy and ur mental health. Nobody can force u to go thru something that u dont want to. Dont blame urself for anything because its not within your control. All the best and stay strong!

This is indeed a stressful situation...pls discuss with ur gyne n seek for 2nd opinion. Also, to be fair to both parties, do reach a consensus...both to face it tgt no matter what or support the decision and move on tgt....

hi mummy, I was also carrying a high risk DS, ratio 1:5 according to the NT scan. doctor advised that I go for the amniocentesis test for 100% accuracy. turns out my baby is perfectly normal. he is now 4 mths old. stay strong.

Get another opinion... I will not keep the baby too if the risk is high but I will need to be triple suree before I decide. My hubby shared the same view. Think need to talk to hubby so that both are agreeable on the decision

I have friends who had false positive result as well and went for the amnio test for 100% accuracy. You may opt for that and see if your result could be false positive. Goodluck mummy!!!

If your baby is less than 4 months old, you can terminate your pregnancy. 4 months and above he/she is already a human being, you should not kill him/her anymore.

Don't be disheartened. High risk doesn't mean that it is 100%. Perhaps you might want to go for a more invasive test to confirm the result ?

What is your ratio? And what test have you done? Coz if its just NT, please don't be dishearthen. It's high risk, not a confirmed case. Do seek second opinion.

Oh, sis. Tight hugs to you. I wouldn't know what to do if I were in your position, but I pray that you find peace in whatever you and husband decide to do.

Big hugs mummy. I really dont know what to say but I hope you feel better and will be able to be at peace. My blessings and prayers are with you. Jiayou
