Venting.

So today i woke at 4 o'clock, stressing out about a Doctors appt. i have at 11. I'm just really starting to freak my Quad Screen, came back with some high numbers, and about a week ago my doctor called saying  it could but Down Syndrome or  Spina Bifida, or i could just be more pregnant than they thought or im having twins! I'm freaking out, i just want to know that my baby is ok. so know im hoping for twins or for him to get here faster. This is my 1st pregnancy i just needed to vent and tell some one how worried i am.

I got told that my levels were high too... but they did the measurements and they said that it was fine.  The Dr actually said i have more of a chance of getting into a car accident.  it's just a  risk factor it doesn't actually mean that there is anything wrong.   I know that here in Canada if you test high then you can be referred to a genetic specialist and do an Amino and its covered by OHIP but if you want the amino otherwise you have to pay for the specialist and all the testing.   Have you had the anatomy scan yet?   My Dr said that the measurements were much more important in the screening then the blood tests are.

i think that that you are farther along then what you think because with that test you have to take it at the right amount of weeks or you will get a false positive...

Sometimes I feel that all of the testing is over the top. It seems like the testing and constant checking for something wrong leads to a lot of stress for pregnant women. There are a lot of false positives on tests like that.
Twins would be a big surprise! Wow! I hope you have a great appointment. Best Wishes.
