Kate & Mandy talk with Pea friend Megan about the prenatal diagnosis she received when she was 14 weeks pregnant with her 4th baby, and the absolute roller coaster that followed. Megan was told that her baby had a hydrops fetalis, which was not compatible with life. Her baby also had several chromosomal abnormalities that would mean severe disability if she would make it to term at all. But by 20 weeks, all the fluid retention had disappeared and there was no sign of hydrops fetalis, nor about a number of chromosomal abnormalities that were found earlier in the pregnancy. Her baby had ‘just’ Down Syndrome. She ended up having her baby girl at 37 weeks and after some time in the NICU, she is now a very happy 2 year old. What a journey.

Megan received a lot of support from Be Not Afraid
Mamamia’s webpage was a bit different on International Women’s Day
Kate loved Line of Duty (on Netflix and Stan)
Mandy watched Behind her eyes (on Netflix)
