Doctors say my baby isnt going to live :(

I found out that I was having a baby girl. I also found out that she has Trisomy 13. :( Doctors are telling me that my daughter isn't going live to be a year old. Btw this is my first pregnancy. Anyone else have or had this happen before? Did your baby make it to a year old? What should I do?

I say this to anyone who would listen. On YouTube is Apostle Guillemots Maldon ado.  He teaches about the Resurrection power of Jesus Christ.  Ordinary people that heard this teaching have prayed in Jesus name and seen dead people come back to life. A nurse prayed with 3 women who's babies were stillborn, and the babies resurrected. Don't give up.  Pray over your baby in Jesus name as many times as you can, every day. It's God who has the final word, not medical doctors. God bless!

My sister just told me a story about this. They told her best friend that her daughter had the same thing and that she wouldnt make it past seven days. She went through with her baby and her daughter is now 4 years old beautiful and bossy as ever. My blood work came back abnormal for down syndrome and Im hoping my baby doesnt but doctors have you worrying your whole pregnancy sometimes for no reason.

Amen ladies great words of encouragement.  We all believe in the power of prayer and prayer changes things. Right now in the name of jesus I pray that God will move and provide everything your child needs. I plead the blood of jesus over you and your child. Trust me honey god can do the impossible I had ny daughter at 25 weeks born at 1lb 7 ounces.  Now she is 13 months.  The same god who brought her out is the same god who is going to see you thru. There is a saying that says if God brought you to it he will bring you thru it.  Keep the faith and remember god is in control of all things and he has the last say so.

Please please check out prayers for Corbin on fb. It's a wonderful page about a mom who fought very hard to keep her son alive as long as possible with trisomy 13.  It can teach you alot at a more personal level. I'm very sorry. Sending good vibes your way

Speak over ur baby in Jesus name she won't have it! There is power in words! Don't let the docs write that baby off a death sentence! Jesus could use her to show them a real miracle and wake them up!

I have done my share of research on trisomy 13 patients and some do live to be older. Just have faith, have faith in God and yourself. Remember God will never give you what you cant handle. And if your baby girl doesnt make it she was put here for a reason, to impact people. Whether her life be short or long. Celebrate your gift with each day that passes. God bless you and your family. I am truly sorry that you have to go through this.

Trisomy 13 is an extra t13 chromosome which is incompatible with life. Its not the same as down syndrome its more severe than that. The doctors say there is a possibility that she can live inside me. But there is a 80% chance ill misscarry once she gets older and the chromosome starts really affecting her. And that if I do deliever most likely she will only live for a few hours. If even that. Most likely I wont get to take her home.

They found out through my blood work I had done @ 12 weeks. I think its a panorama test? It also tells you the gender. So the day I found out I was having a girl I also found out she had trisomy 13 :/. Good news bad news thing. The worst part is this happens to 1/16,000 women and usually women over 40. Im 20. Just my luck right? First pregnancy and they say she isnt going to live. :/

@jasmine. I am a Christian. And I definitely believe that God doesn't give people more than they can handle even when it feels like we can't. I trust god. As much as this is painful and I wish this wasnt happening. I know god has a reason for this even if I dont understand it. :/ all I can do is have faith and trust in him.
