chromosonal abnormalities

Posted by Dean

Hi i am 17 years of age and 16 weeks pregnant i went for a dating scan about 4 weeks ago and i was told that my baby had gastroschisis and wanted to do a further scan when i was 16 weeks.

I had the scan done last thursday and she was concerned because there was fluid on the babys brain and a lump on her spine and her spine was bent.
The doctor said she wanted to do an amniocentisis and i had the choice of terminating the pregnancy or carrying on.

When the doctor went to go get some info i told my mum that every one deserves a chance at life. so i decided to carry on. was this the right thing to do or am i being selfish for putting her life at risk. update after amniocentisis on Thursday.
