cystic hygroma

[akiraanderson2]

So i just found out bad news. Im so ready to just breakdown. Im a single mother and i cant take care of a special needs baby and my toddler at the same time. The baby will need all my attention and id be neglecting my son if i do so. Im so depressed

You can do non invasive prenatal testing if your that worried. I'm sure I've read in one book or another that your baby is unlikely to have any abnormalities if they disappear by your 20 week scan. I have a two year old with Down's syndrome and to be honest it's not actually that much more than looking after a typical child. Yes he learns things a little slower but he still learns them no the less. I was extremely worried about having a second child as I wanted to give him the attention he needs but I'm sure we will manage. I hope things work out for you x

Is he more expensive?  Im a single mother with no support and i love my baby so much already and i see all the beautiful kids with down syndrome and they're so smart independent and funny like they don't have special needs at all but the cost of therapy and stuff im not sure I'd be able to afford on my own.

I'm so sorry. Can I ask how many weeks are you?? Sending prayers and love your way xoxo

[akiraanderson2]

Im 11 weeks and 3 days .. thank you so much my heart is literally broken

[lucie27]

I imagine it would have. I'm pretty sure I read that all babies have them at some point and it's just some people catch them on there scan before they disappear. All about timing x

[lucie27]

That's fantastic news! I'm glad we could be of help to you. Was the cyst gone when you had your follow up scan? x

[akiraanderson2]

I have my follow up scan on Wednesday I pray it is

[akiraanderson2]

I send my love and prayers to all mommies on this app and love the feed back and support I get from you all. Means a lot because I don't have support at all with this baby so you guys mean alot

I'm in the uk and then in non invasive test was £250. As for therapy and things my son hasn't really had much he occasionally see the physio therapist but all she says is to keep doing what we are doing. He doesn't see any others as he has no hearing or sight problems. I would talk with your doctor and see what testing they can do that's included in your insurance and what not x

I'm so sorry. You still have plenty of time to come to terms with what you've been told and to prepare yourself for what's to come so hang in there!
