Anatomy scan

We had our anatomy scan last week. Didn't go well. After being told at every appointment she looked healthy. Now out of no where they think she has trisomy 18 (idk what that is the didn't tell us) or 19 (I think that's a right number) or 21 which is Downs(only one they explained what it meant). When we got there the equipment was acting up,my daughter was breech and in what they say the worst position to do the tests. The guy doing it was training and didn't know what he was doing. So now after 18 weeks of being told she doesn't like like she has downs she now might have downs or something else. We go back in 2 weeks. I'm freaking out my husband says they messed up the test. Has this happened to anyone else?

It sounds like you got a really crappy test done.  I wouldn't worry too much.  Ask for another scan at a different clinic and get another opinion.

My mom was told my sister had down syndrome and we thought she was going to be like that until my mom gave birth she came out perfectly fine so the whole time we were worried for nothing
