Another day, another scan - part 2

One of the things we did get told at the appointment was that there is a ‘significant risk’ that Jessica’s heart may fail during the pregnancy before I reach term. We had previously been told that ‘most’ babies tolerate the kind of condition she has fairly well during pregnancy but to be told the risk of losing her before birth is ‘significant’ was a shock. I know that her time with us will almost certainly be incredibly brief but I just hope that whatever happens we will get some time with her after birth before she slips away from us.
