cystic fibrosis
On my twenty week scan it showed an abnormal bowel. Either Side effect of having an Amniocentesis at 13 weeks or cystic fibrosis. I'm absolutely scared stiff. At least two weeks before getting any results. Anyone else been through the same?
No problem, he has only been in the hospital once dor a bad lung infections but other than thet one time he is doing gret and very happy, I hope it turns out to be nothing with you baby but if not CF is something that you will be able to handle i'm sure, huggs
Thank you for your comment.I'm pleased your son is doing great and hope it continues. You just hear the horror stories but you have put me at ease knowing how well your son is.
Helen we did have an Amniocentesis at 13 weeks. I'm aware of the blood tests as we've just had them taken.If we had not of had the Amniocentesis then they would be telling us the baby had downs.Luckily this has been ruled out.
You can't have amnio at 13 weeks. Also, you can test for CF: it's just a simple blood test that you and your dh should do.
I have an 11 year old son with CF, they have come along way with treatment and he is doing great! I will say any extra prayer for you and your little one, good luck
