Sending you sincere hugs for the loss of your sweet baby girls. I’m nearly sixty yrs old…and was born with Turners Syndrome. I was born with a short stature, missing neck vertebrae and diagnosed also with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. My mother died of alcoholism when I was two. Miraculously, I graduated from HS, college and I’ve been married for 35 years. I have five grown kids and eight grandchildren😍 My doctors are not sure how I was able to conceive and carry 8 and 9 lb babies! My eldest son had his DNA tested recently. He’s a pharmacist in TX. He called me to say: Mom, you are missing four chromosomes!!! (Yep!)

9 years ago I was pregnant with a baby with full Turner Syndrome. She was my second baby after having my son and then 3 ectopics back to back . At the 12 week scan the sonography was very silent for ages so I could tell something wasn’t right. Her nuchal measurement was 12mm and we were told that heavily suggested Turner Syndrome. She had hydrops, cystic hygromas and edema. She also had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. My entire pregnancy was full of scans and trips to specialist fetal hospitals, I lost count of how many scans I had. The first time I saw a doctor after her diagnosis, they brought up termination. We decided to carry her for as long as I possibly could, I could never abort my baby just because she has 1 less chromosome. She survived to 22 weeks gestation which given how severe her syndrome was, it was truly amazing especially as most Turner Syndrome girls miscarry early on in the pregnancy. I am so proud of how hard she fought and so grateful that I got to give birth to her and feel her move inside me. She weighed 1 lb 3 oz, which I was told was a good weight for her gestation. 9 years later and I still have Lilly’s photos up in the house and she always will be my daughter and a part of my family.

I want to say thank you for making a video series for mothers having to go through the process of miscarriage. I did not have symptoms of something being drastically wrong until I was 6 1/2 months along. I was told then that my son had a form of microcephaly and most likely would most likely be born sleeping. I carried him to term and delivered at 39 weeks. My son was born alive and he was diagnosed with holoprosencephaly. Bradley was born with a cleft lip and palette so he was fed with a gavage feeding tube. He lived for two months. I wanted you to know the other side of having a child born with a genetic disorder. It was a miracle that I was able to hold him and hug him and show him that he was truly loved. Everybody’s experience is different but I am so glad I had that time with him. Again, thank you for educating through your videos.

I was born with the classic form of Turner Syndrome, including the webbed neck and ptosis. I was diagnosed right after the birth. I am 43 years now. It was confirmed by genetic testing in Ukraine, before even I was a toddler,then in Austria, when I was 42 years old.

Hi! First of all, I am so sorry that you went through a miscarriage. My heart goes out to you and I will be praying heavily! Second, as someone with mosaic Turners Syndrome, you explained what it was and how it happens perfectly. I was diagnosed just this last year at 21 years old because I didn’t have many obvious symptoms. I heard from a doctor that when a girl has full blown Turners Syndrome (meaning all cells in the body are missing that X chromosome), it’s nearly impossible to survive because everything in your body is affected. Some scientists theorize that every girl who survives and is living with Turners Syndrome has the mosaic form but, because it’s impossible to test every single cell in the body, it’s hard to find those cells that possibly have two X’s. Thank you for sharing your story! I hope that every mom who goes through this and finds out their baby has Turners Syndrome will have hope!

@melsmakeup88 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your comment and for sharing that information. It’s been about a year since I filmed this video and I still research and find new information on Turner Syndrome every single day. It fascinates me and I feel so connected to the Turner Syndrome community because of my twins. Very interesting about mosaic TS, it makes perfect sense though! I always kind of theorized that and explained it to people just like that so it’s nice to know I was on the right track. Thank you again! ❤️

@deauxpfashionboutique2856 2 года назад

My body did the same thing two days ago. I’m currently about to be admitted to delivery the baby. This is all new to me. I had three healthy kids before my fourth child that was diagnosed with monosomy fragile x and sma. I too worried about how I would care for my baby and it also stressed me out. It’s been a few weeks and I miscarried some point after Jan 18 2022. I appreciate your videos. I’m trying to see what I expect before I go in. I am supposed to be 16 weeks but I’m being told my fetus is 12 weeks. God be with me today tomorrow and the days to come for it’s all a lot for me to deal with and explain to my other children. 🕊

@Eden_Rivers 3 года назад

This was really interesting to hear. I didn't know a lot about the chromosomal abnormalities. My twins were mono/di, which means they shared a placenta, but each had their own sac. It's also how we knew they were identical before they were born. All healthy embryos should have their own placenta and sac, which is why most twins aren't identified as identical until after birth. (The only clue that they could be identical before birth is if you find out the gender and it's the same.) I'm glad to hear you are okay physically and that nothing was wrong!

@melsmakeup88 3 года назад

Twins in general are so fascinating and identical twins even more so! I was told that somehow doctors are able to tell if twins are identical or fraternal my inspecting the placentas after birth. Either that or DNA.

Ohh i am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful baby girl who we named Faith over 26 years ago and not a day goes by she is not on my mind as to my situation it was not picked up until my 16 week ultra sound where they noticed a large cystic hygroma, horse shoe kidneys as well as an enlarged heart not forgetting that this was a long time ago and are blessed that science has come a long way since then . Anyway we were given the choice to have an amnio done as well as taking a sample of fluid from her neck ( not being able to move a muscle as my professor at the time advised if i moved an inch the needle could penetrate her brain i was terrified (by this time physically and mentally numb) 2 weeks later the results came back (by this time i could feel her kicking and i would find myself softly touching at my belly wondering if that was a her foot or hand) i was going on my 19th week when professors gave us the choice of continuing with the prenancy or admitting me to hospital inducing labour as they advised she just would not make it to full term and if she did and survived the labour she would have a very short life. It took me another 2 weeks and many arguments with my ex husband as to what we should do. I was selfish i just did not want to let her go. Finally we came to the decision to terminate it was the hardest time 14 hours of labour she was born at 4.41Am she was born and will never forget the silence i am probably being bias but she was gorgeous although her hands,feet were extremly swollen chest extended and a very large hygroma at the back of her neck but she looked like an angel. The midwife was amazing she dressed her took her hand and footprints and finaly placed her in my arms i was motionless. We had her Funeral the next friday and to be quite truthful i cant remember the weeks after i blamed myself so much and maybe i still do i still have the what if she did survive to full term and survived but after genetic councilling as well as grief therapy realised that i was the one being selfish she was suffering terribly but i just did not want to let go i felt that i had failed somehow i never smoked,drank alchol had taken all the vitamins etc. Learning that so many other women unfortunately have to face this on a daily basis breaks my heart.On a positive not i did go on to have 2 beautiful daughters who are adults now and they both know about their little sister in heaven and still visit her grave on her Birthday. If i can give any help in advice it would be that you will gain a strength that you never thought you had and whatever the outcome your beautiful angel will be by yourside and forever in your heart. 👼

@annelien3432 2 года назад

@@kazzohare8692 Hey, I have TS, I was diagnosed at 12 years old. And I do not at all blame you for your choice, because I can only begin to understand how you must have felt based on the information you were given. However, TS is not nearly as horrible as you make it sound. The absolutely only things we almost all have are short statue and infertility. That`s it. Everything else are risks- for often treatable problems, often they are rare even for us. At the time, they might have told you that TS equals mental retardation, and for almost all variants of TS, there is no connection to any kind of cognitive disability at all. We also have a practically normal life expectancy, and typically do not suffer more than anyone else (although her heart problem might have given her a worse prognosis, who knows). I am sorry I have to write all of that, I am mainly thinking of other women pregnant with a girl with TS reading your comment. That`s exactly why we need more correct information about TS out there. All the best to you.

First, thanks for sharing this story. I watched both videos and it was really helpful getting through the grief of a pregnancy loss and my D&C. I had a miscarriage during my first pregnancy. It really killed me inside. I had my D&C and we got the chromosomal testing. We received it today and it was also due to Turner’s Syndrome. So once again, I am finding a lot of support and strength from your videos. Thanks for sharing. Best of luck to all the women and families who experienced a miscarriage. Wishing you happiness in whatever fate brings.

@jenessasaeger1182 2 года назад

@@melsmakeup88 I am sorry you are going through this. As you know, Turner Syndrome occurs in every 2000-2500 LIVE births. . There are as many people even in a small town with TS (including me)! With varying degrees of complications. In addition to a completely missing chromosome, there can be a partial deletion of the second chromosome. This is what's most common and the degree of deletion is related to the prognosis. (The more material deleted, the worse the outcome) Because it is so varied, my advice is to be aware of potential complications but don't let the future overwhelm you. Take things one day at a time and problem solve as problems arise, not before. I hope this helps and please feel free to reach out to me or the Turner Syndrome society.

Your video really touched my heart, i just received my results, do you have any idea of what this means ? ABNORMAL FEMALE KARYOTYPE with additional copy (trisomy) of chromosome 7. The abnormal karyotype was observed in 16 of the 20 GTW banded cells analyzed (3 cultures). Autosomal trisomy is the most common cytogenetic abnormality in products of conception samples and may be associated with an increased risk for a viable trisomy in future pregnancies. Trisomy 7 accounts for approximately 4.5% of the autosomal trisomies in first trimester spontaneous losses. Genetic counseling is recommended. Diploid female [46,XX] metaphase cells were also seen, most likely the result of residual maternal cells in long term placental cultures; however, a twin gestation cannot be ruled out.
