Hello all. I am new here and i am 27years old. I had the AFP (triple test) routine test on April 24th when i was about 16 weeks along. Currently i am 18 weeks. My doctor called me and said that it came back with an increased risk and that i have a 1 out of 124 chance. I really dont know what all these terms mean, all i know is that im scared to death and very very worried. I havent slept and i know that no matter what happens i will continue with this pregnancy. My husband and i tried to have a baby for two years so there is no way that i will even thinka bout terminating it. Anyway, i am scedhuled to have an amniocentesis done this friday May 9th at 12pm. I really want to do to because although i plan to continue with the pregnancy, i do need to prepare myself mentally and emotionaly and i also want to be able to look into specialists and all that stuff if indeed my little girl is DS. Im so sorry that im rambling my mouth. I guess i just want to know if anyone else around my age has ever gone through this. I know that usually this is normal for woman 35 and over but i guess im confused because we both have healthy backgrounds and this came as a shocker to us. Does this mean because i am 27 and too young to test positive for AFP that my baby will definitely be DS? I dont know what to think and im just really lost and worried. I dont understand why the AFP came out with an increased risk if im 27 years old.
