Trisomy 13 - Patau's syndrome and termination

Posted By Caroline  on September 06, 1998 at 12:23:51:







Yesterday I had a termination at 14 weeks pregnant because a CVS test
discovered my baby had Patau's syndrome. My husband and I are now awaiting
the results of our blood tests to see if chromosome 13 has been inherited.
I would be grateful if someone would inform me of the likeliness of our
next baby having another genetic disease, I know this will depend on our
blood test results, but I would like to know as soon as possible.
I also had a miscarriage 4 months ago at 12 weeks gestation, the baby's
heart stopped, but the cause wasn't found. I am only 21 and my husband is
only 26.        Thankyou, feel free to E-Mail...
