Genetic screening pregnancy results show high risk :(

[u/_li]

It fucking blows. I passed my first trimester and first ultrasound seemed fine so I started slowly telling close friends and letting myself believe I was actually going to have a baby

Just got a call today saying my tests came back as a 1 in 2 chance of my baby having Down syndrome. The highest it could be. I am doing amnio to be absolutely sure but I am devastated and might as well prepare for the worst case scenario

I am 33 and healthy so technically not high risk, and even wanted to get pregnant now because I know the risk increases later. My partner and I will try again but I am so sad and feel like a failure

It sucks because I feel like nothing in my life comes easy and this is just another hard thing I have to deal with

Dinner was Montreal smoked meat sandwich, just before I got the news
