hope you are finding strength to cope with tough time. Any decision you make is your decision. You will make it based on what you consider is right for you, for your baby and for your family. It is no-one else's decision or business, so don't ever worry about being judged. No-one else can know what is in your head and heart.
It is a worrying enough time having scans and being pg without having to make a decisoin or to WAIT for a decision. Keep taking deep breaths. I hope evrything works out OK whatever that may be.

Am thinking of you, what an awful day to have had. Small consolation but I don't know anyone who has come back from an amnio without having the 'all clear' that everything is fine, so hopefully you will be joining their numbers soon. Reassuring about the heart, that sounds positive

I've never managed to take my own advice, but when we found out a few weeks ago that we were pg again I said to DH I wanted to take it one day at a time, after last year (don't want to keep banging on about it but I had two mc's last year). Of course that lasted all of half an hour and I've been like Zebedee about it all ever since. Even so, I think 'one day at a time' can be a useful approach with so much uncertainty.
A month is such a terribly long time to wait - hope it passes quickly. It's our turn for the nuchal fold in two weeks and yes, you were very lucky to be offered it on the NHS! Fortunately for us my parents offered to pay for the scan and we gratefully accepted. I'm looking forward to seeing the little one again but I must confess that having been so mightily relieved after the dating scan the nuchal fold is now preying on my mind a wee bit, there seems to be hurdle after hurdle. Anyway, this isn't about me - hope today is a good day

MrsD, I know exactly what you mean. I've had an ectopic pregnancy that led to my right fallopian tube rupturing; followed by miscarriages; then a baby with failure-to-thrive and me with severe PND....and now this! Just as soon as you leap a hurdle you find another one!!
Rest assured though that the chances of them finding an anomoly are, thankfully, rare (and many clear up by the 20 week scan anyway), so please don't stress about the NT scan - just look at it as another opportunity to see babba.
On the whole, we are a lot more upbeat about it all now, to be honest. A bit of 'thinking time' did us the world of good, we are looking at things with more clarity now.

Just wanted to say that I am sorry you are having a tough time and that I have got my fingers crossed for good test results. I am thinking of you
