Wife pregnant with twins..Dr says to do the AMNIO

[bread43]

we are so nervous my wife is 4 months pregnant with twins..she did 2 blood tests to determine how the babies are and one is 1:116 and the other one is 1:500. we are very nervous and the dr said that we should do the amnio and if anything is wrong with the babies, that this test is accurate..

can anyone help us on this. what does that ratio mean, is this an accurate tool. what about amnio i hear there is a very small risk of a side effect. thanks

you gals... alittle slow.. but it just goes to show you the power of WOMEN... I just hope your wife finds out! and not the hard way!



I have read your past post.. and saw that you were questioning hiv? ... Only bloodwork can determin if you have it.. no one in medhelp... even the experts forum can tell you any diffrent. then read more and saw that you did have the u/s done on the twins and one has a thick neck... that is why the ob is wanting the amnio!! doesnt really mean for sure.. but is a red flag for DS. and any red flag.. they sugest an amnio done to find out.
I would go and do the amnio... just for peice of mind... or if it is the case.. you can learn how to raise a child with ds. sign language.. etc.. its a special gift from God.. accept it as you are special. my baby had a spot on her heart.. another red flag.. and after the amnio.... all was fine!
I also would think you would need to get some help with your flings you are having... sounds like the both of you went threw alot to have these children and it would be a shame to mess it up befor they are even in your home.
I would hope you also go get yourself tested... its a simple bloodtest that will determin if you have caught aids. you wife being pregnant and all... Im sure already got tested. although... they didnt test me??? so really no telling.
I wish you the best of luck with your twins... and your family.. You have a wonderful start to prove yourself as a man and right from wrong.. please make good decisions... in this life and make your father proud.

They are referring to your "hey I cheated and I may have HIV" posts. And the fact that you posted on 2 separate occassions meaning you cheated twice. Was it worth it? We just don't sympathize with the amnio concern when your prior posts point to you cheating on your wife twice and possibly being exposed (and in turn your wife and the babies). We're all for people posting questions of concern, no matter the gender, but you won't get a serious discussion/answers if your cheating post is indeed true.

Hi doctor,

Please help. 2 weeks ago I had an encounter with a female of unknown status. I had a canker sore if my mouth but I was making out with her anyway. Then I had a pimple in my groin area but I had protected sex with her anyway. We have protected sex and oral sex that day. I’m hoping she was clean. But can someone get infected while having protected sex, like with HIV? The condom did not break and I was probably in her around 1-2 mins with a condom before I pulled out and came.

wait what are u talking ab out no one mentioned anything about hiv...what do u mean.

do u really think the dr saw something else and thats why we need to do the amnio and if the dr did why not say anything
