Fear about screening tests and abnormalities
I’m really struggling with worry about there being something wrong with my baby. I’ve almost convinced myself they will have some kind of genetic abnormality and i’m terrified about the decisions I may have to make. Are others experiencing similar worries? How are you coping? x

My first was 1/31 for DS and a heart condition that was supposedly linked, it caused a lot of stress and upset as it felt like I was being pressured into a termination if he did have DS. Later turned out on his health check after he was born he's a healthy happy little boy and it was just excess fluid around him glad I never listened🩵
Yeah I feel the same, I'm 39 and will be 40 when I give birth so I'm worried because of my higher chances with my age so I feel your anxiety, I think for now we just have to go in trying to be positive and hope all is ok 💗

I’m the exact same at the moment. I got my dating scan in a few weeks, and requested all the screening tests. And I’ve been so worried. I’m not sure how I’m coping really, I’m trying not to look into it too much. And just trying to stay positive x
