suzeanna Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Having read several times of pregnant women who were advised to have a termination as the baby would be terribly handicapped, if it lived at all, only to have a perfectly healthy baby after all I hope with all my heart that they are wrong and she'll have the baby she's been longing for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greys mum Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Loads of positive thoughts on their way to your sister, husband and liitle 'un. Hope that there will be more positive news for them when they see the specialist. My sister was advised to have a termination as her baby was so severely handicapped, wouldn't live more than a few hours. She has just had her 18th birthday, is fit and healthy and always has been. Hope that it will be the same for your sister and her husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura_E Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Thanks so much for all your kind messages. Having read several times of pregnant women who were advised to have a termination as the baby would be terribly handicapped, if it lived at all, only to have a perfectly healthy baby after all I hope with all my heart that they are wrong and she'll have the baby she's been longing for Loads of positive thoughts on their way to your sister, husband and liitle 'un. Hope that there will be more positive news for them when they see the specialist. My sister was advised to have a termination as her baby was so severely handicapped, wouldn't live more than a few hours. She has just had her 18th birthday, is fit and healthy and always has been. Hope that it will be the same for your sister and her husband. This is really reassuring and I just hope that my sister has a similar outcome. Apparently my Dad was born with a hole in the heart and he has never had any problems, although that is obviously a lot different to a 'major defect'. We are all just praying that the nurse got it wrong, but my sister is trying not to get her hopes and is thinking logically in case of the worst case scenario. It's so sad to see her so upset, especially as we can't make it right for her, just feel quite useless at the moment. Her appointment is at 1:30 tomorrow, so I'm praying that I'll be able to update this with some positive news afterwards. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura_E Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Just a quick update. Still don't seem to have many answers. My sister and brother-in-law spent about 6 hours at the hospital today having various tests and now have to wait for the results. It seems that there is a problem with the right ventricle, and some of the baby's organs are on the wrong side of the body, but the heart is where it should be. The doctors have also run some tests on the chromosomes, as they think that there may be an abnormality that will basically mean that the baby is born brain dead, in which case they have advised a termination. They won't know for sure for another 2 weeks, so they now have an agonising wait. If you could continue to keep them in your thoughts it would be much appreciated.

Jacobean Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Dreadful to have to wait another 2 weeks. I was born with heart problems which cleared up too. Really hoping for better news soon. Can understand why they are preparing for the worst though. My heart goes out to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
