Hi Everyone,<br><br>Thanks for all your support, it really is appreciated.<br><br>Sarah, don't even dare say that you were insensitive. When I read your posting about your terrible news, I cried. Not because I was worried for me but I just felt so awful for you. I don't know what to say to you. Sorry is such an empty word but I am sorry, sorry for what you are going through.<br><br>I just feel that I am in the middle of a nightmare. We went to have the nuchal fold scan done today and there is a thicker than normal nuchal fold which could indicate downs. We are going to Kings College Hospital on monday where they will monitor the babys heart and then I am going to have a CVS done. This has taken a lot of thinking about and we just wish it was a decision we didn't have to make. I keep crying all the time and I can't even begin to imagine what I am going to do if there is a problem with the baby. Well to be honest I have thought about it a great deal and it's horrible. This time next week I should have the results and I just have to pray that the procedure doesn't give me a miscarriage. God can you imagine how awful that would be to lose the baby and then find out that nothing was wrong? But I know I can't bury my head in the sand, if I didn't have this test done now and then go for my 20 week scan and then they can see there are major problems, how would we feel?<br><br>Why us? That's all I keep asking myself. The odds of having a downs baby, that the doctor gave me today, was 1 in 44. Knowing my bloody luck I'll be that one.<br><br>Please all keep your fingers crossed for me. Just don't know how I am going to cope for the next week.<br><br>Tracey<br><br>
