Trisomy 18 - Change of wording when a diagnosis is given
Change the wording for babies with Trisomy 18 from incomptable with life to life limiting.
When a Trisomy 18 diagnosis is given medical professionals advise a baby born with T18 is incompatible with life however many babies do live, some more hours but some for days, weeks, months & years therefore during that time it is compatible.
Trisomy 18 is a life limiting syndrome & should be described as one.
