I'n worried
I'm 17 years old with my first child. I'm 24 weeks 5 days pregnant. The doctor said my baby girl has Turner Syndrome. I haven't gained more then a few pounds I eat all the time and my baby is about 3lbs over weight. But I haven't felt her move around in about a week and a half and I have the baby bump the size of a normal 15 week baby bump. Am I not big enough for the chubby girl to move around? Is it something to do with the Turner Syndrome? Or is it something more serious? Please help me.
They told me that my baby had turners.. It turned out she didn't.. More times than not these things happen..
As I understand it, Turner Syndrome is the absence of x chromosomes, not extra ones, so be SURE you talk to a better doctor.
Get a second opinion. When my mom was pregnant with my sister, the doctor told her the baby had down syndrome and they advised my mom to terminate the pregnancy. My sister was born healthy, with no signs of down syndrome. Sometimes some doctors are wrong because tests are performed too early. But it doesn't seem like the doctor you went to was really involved in your appointment.
She told me that the baby has extra x chromosomes which was turner syndrome then changed the subject.
Are you certain it is Turner Syndrome? Did the doctor do specialty work to find this out or send you to a specialist?
