Oh my gosh. That's horrible. Its like hello this is my babies precious life at risk. Don't just think its going to die! I don't blame you. I think you should defiantly go to another doctor.

Honey, I advice you to talk with your doctor and figure out if your baby really has this. I strongly recommend the t21 blood test or the aminocentesis. From what I have researched 50% of babies do die before birth. :( that's so sad, but you need to be prepared for whatever happens. Your doctor didn't talk to you about this?
