I’m due to go in to give birth to my triploidy baby this Tuesday at 21w exactly. For the last couple of days I have had this crippling fear that she has already died in my body. The last time i saw her was last Tuesday the 23rd of June and her heartbeat was still so strong and she was kicking about.
I’ve not had any bleeding or unusual cramping (I have endometriosis so pregnancy has kinda been a bit painful for me with all the growth). It’s just a total worry.
Part of my brain is telling me that this is just a stupid worry I’m having but the other part is telling that it’s my “intuition” and that I’m worried because deep down I know something.
Did anyone else that had to terminate due to serious genetic conditions have these fears or is it just my stupid brain?

I’m due into hospital next Thursday for a medical termination at 21w. Can anyone let me know what I need for after labour? This is my first pregnancy so I have absolutely no idea about any of this. I know from friends who have had babies that they needed pads and different things to help them clean etc but I just don’t know if it’ll be different for me or not as I’m not full term and my baby is also nowhere near the size of her gestational age. I’m starting to get really anxious about the whole process so any and all help will be very much appreciated🩷

EDIT: Guys I just want to thank you for all the comments on this. I’m not really in the headspace to reply to everyone but just know I’m so appreciative of all your responses. To know I’m not alone in my worries or this journey offers me some slight comfort during this very trying time. Thank you❤️‍🩹

Hi guys, looking for advice on this one. Before I begin I know I’m thinking too far into the future and worrying for no reason right now but this is just how my brain works.
My partner and I recently found out our baby girl has Triploidy and I have started scheduling a termination to end the pregnancy.
I know that neither of us will want to try for at least the rest of the year but I am so scared of becoming obsessed with getting pregnant.
This was our first baby and even though she was a huge surprise she was so so wanted and due to my battles with endometriosis a future I never thought I would have. We are both in our early 20s so we do have so much time.
I’m just wondering if anyone else felt this way and how they got through it?

Hi guys, I’m hoping that this is okay to post on here and I’m really sorry if not. We had our fetal medicine appointment today in which after our scan, we were taken into a room and our doctor told us our baby was very small, her legs were curled into her chest and so were her arms because of this she told us she thinks it might be trisomy 13 or 18 and that this would mean our baby would not be compatible with life. She also talked about how it could be some other genetic problems but really did hint toward TFMR. This was obviously extremely hard to hear as up until last week there were no concerns at any scans.
At the end of my amino the midwife present then said “let’s hope for some reassuring results” which is extremely conflicting.
I guess I’m just asking, should we prepare ourselves for the loss of our baby or was our doctor just telling us the worst case scenario.
We should hopefully know more at the end of this week.

I went for a last minute scan as I was having abdominal pains and after phoning my midwife they wanted to see me. During the scan, we listened to the heartbeat which the Dr noted was very strong and clear but after that she went very quiet and the scan seemed to go on forever.

At the end of the scan she told me that my baby (18 weeks) is measuring very small and that her stomach is “tiny”. Her words. I have now been referred to my nearest Fetal Medicine unit for further testing. Near the end of the conversation she said that’s they don’t usually scan babies at 18 weeks so she can’t really be too sure at all?

I’m just looking for positive stories if anyone has any? I’m trying my best not to spiral but I just want this so bad and I’m so scared.

Thank you x
