Hi, I just wanted to say how sorry I am for you and your partner. My baby was diagnosed with Edwards Syndrome and I have since had a termination. Take good care of yourself xxx

Lots of love and best wishes for tomorrow xxx

Thinking of you too. Easier said than done, but try not to look too far ahead. There is no right way to feel, you feel what you feel. You are doing brilliantly well coping with this. Get a good night's sleep and tomorrow will be a better day. Lots of Love xxxx

Just wanted to wish you all the very best with the test and the rest of your pregnancy xxx

Thanks for all your warm wishes. We have (unless I change my mind beforehand) decided on a termination to be carried out early next week. Twilly has been a huge source of support. Hope things are going well for all of you out there xxxx

So pleased for you, it's lovely news. Much love xxxxx

We have received the news we were dreading - the baby has Edwards Syndrome. We are both utterly devastated.

Hi Manduk Towards the end of my second pregnancy I also had the shooting pains. But I was having them a few weeks or even months before the baby was born so I don't think mine were associated with dilation. Sorry, but I have no experience of the membrane sweep but wish you lots of luck with...

Thanks to everyone for their kind messages. I am still waiting for the results. Unfortunately we didn't have the option to fast-track them. To put it mildly, the waiting is hard.

Thank you very much for that. I actually had the CVS too, same as you I'm 13 weeks, so it's too early for the amnio. It wasn't as painful as I had expected, just felt a bit strange. Obviously more strange for my partner though, he nearly passed out! Now for the hard bit.........waiting for...

Thanks for sharing that with me xx I'm not sure how to private message?

Hi Twilly Thanks so much for getting in contact and for the advice. I hadn't heard of Edwards before either. I am so sorry to hear your news. If you don't mind me asking what was your risk? If you would rather not say or talk about it, I will perfectly understand. xxx

Oh yes, he'll be there with me. I used to have a very high pain threshold but I think it diminishes with age (I'm 44) and now even plucking my eyebrows makes me wince! So sorry to hear of your miscarriage. I came into this section because I had one at about 8 weeks too (2 years ago) and...

Well, when I spoke to the hospital they said we'd get the results within 5 days. But I've been reading up on it and apparently you can pay to get the results fast-tracked probably within 2 days. So we'll go for that if we can. I wasn't worried about the actual test because I didn't think it...

Thank you so much. And the very best of luck to you too xx
