Dear mum-to-be, First of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! It's wonderful that you have made the decision to keep your precious baby, despite the potential challenges. I can only imagine how you might be feeling right now, but I want to assure you that you are not alone. I want to share with you that I also had a high-risk pregnancy, and it was a difficult and emotional journey. But let me tell you, it was all worth it in the end. The love and joy that my child has brought into my life far outweigh any of the initial worries and fears. One thing that really helped me during this time was connecting with other mums who had similar experiences. It was so comforting to hear their stories and receive their encouragement and support. I encourage you to reach out to support groups, both online and in-person, where you can find other mums who have gone through similar situations. Remember that it's okay to feel overwhelmed or scared at times, but also remember that you are strong and capable. Take it one day at a time, and lean on your support system when you need it. You are doing an amazing thing by choosing to bring this precious baby into the world, and I believe that you will be an incredible mother to your new addition. Wishing you all the best on this journey, and please know that there are many mummies out here cheering you on. Sending you lots of love and encouragement. You've got this! Warm regards, [Your Name] https://invl.io/cll6she

Following my post 6 months ago, I would love to share with parents-to-be some sparks. I had continued with my pregnancy. with the detailed scan, we detected her nasal bone though it was slightly shorter than normal. I still made the decisions to keep her since the scans revealed not much of a major concern based on the numbers. My baby girl arrived on 6th November at 36w+6. Born all healthy and with no health issues. I am really glad that I choose to pressed on then otherwise I would have taken away her chance to come to this world. Be positive and may all mummies-to-be have a smooth pregnancy and delivery. Enjoy the process and welcome to Motherhood/Parenthood
