Hello Lybrate user. It was indeed very sad news that you had problems in your baby in first pregnancy. Did you get a chromosome study done with that baby. Both you and your partner need to be tested for your chromosomes before next pregnancy. Next time you will need to get a dual marker blood test along with a NT scan at 11 to 13 weeks of pregnancy followed by quadruple marker blood test with an anomaly scan at 17 weeks. Wishing you all the best for your future.
