I have just had my second scan im 21 weeks i had a 1 in 15000 chance of having a baby with down syndrome. My scan showed my baby's neck is 2mm bigger then average, not alot i no but they say this can be linked to down syndrome. they have said everything else about my baby is normal but i am scared. Me and my partner were extremely shocked as you want to hear everything is normal. i beleive in my gut that everything is fine with our baby i just wanted to get it of my chest and speak to people outside of the family as they all have there view and mine and my partners differ. If anyone can give me some info it would be appreciated.

Nuchual Thickening

i was pregnany four months and was told by dr's that there was a 6mm thickening which would lead to down symdrome or other retarded defects. My baby died and had to have a D&C done. Its really shocking and I still have'nt got over it. Feeling really depressed. I pray that everythings goes well for you.
