Hello,

I'm proud to have made it to this board (but scared to death)!!

My name is Arah, I am 27yrs old and have been pregnant 3 times. My 1st pregnancy ended in misscarriage at only 7wks I then went on to have my perfectly healthy son who will be 3 in June. Last July I discovered I was pregnant once again and was elated, pregnancy was perfect until 11/10/06 when I went into labor and delivered my son at 18wks. He appeared to have some sort of chromosone abnormality but unfortunately he had been gone for 2wks and they were unable to grow his cells to find out exactly what the cause was. He was absolutely perfect except he appeared to have a large mass (cystic hygroma) behind his neck and his abdomen was swollen (hydrops) which both are markers for a trysomy. Everything else was perfect and my son was beautiful.

After that said, I am so happy to be here but so extremely scared this will happen again and I don't know if my heart can take anymore. Has anyone experienced a loss due a chromosone abnormality and go on to have healthy pregnancy's?? I have been told this was just a fluke and most likely will not happen again.

Congratulations to everyone on your pregnacy's, I wish you a happy and healty 9 months.

Arah
