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?

No matter how it goes I think the best advice I can give is to cherish every moment you have with your baby girl ♡ and don't stress momma! Everything will be okay.

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.
