Yes thankgod it did. However im not sure where your from, Im from australia & I have never heard of a quad test that u mentioned. They advised me to do an amnio because my babies jaw bone has not formed properly & they said that its commonly associated with those syndromes. But every other thing that would make them think of trisomies was fine, heart, limbs, brain etc. Most of the time if a baby has the syndromes they can see that something may be wrong like the measurement on the back of their neck (like with downs) or shorter limbs, or fluid on their brain and heart defects. So, as far as we can see my baby just has a small jaw bone, they did test for every syndrome they could with the amnio but all came bak normal. However they said some syndromes arent detectable until birth. But they are not life threatening like 18&13. How far are you? Have they done an ultrasound checking all those things? Im not sure what theu call it but it went for over 2hours. They told me being 23weeks if the test came back that my baby does have the syndromes they reccomend terminating the pregnancy. Which meant a natural birth but he wouldnt live through it. I could not believe they let me get that far without taking these tests. I hope and pray yours comes back fine, and if not i hope your not that far along.. Its not a good feeling hey.

I had to have an amnio for trisomy 18&13 at 23weeks. It was the worst 2weeks wait of my life after finding out what it was. Try & stay positive, I pray it comes back just fine for you x
