triple marker test

I am really concerned my Dr called yesterday and told me my labs came back abnormal and that I would need to see a specialist concerning my lab work and the chances of having a down syndrome child... I'm am scared to death not that I won't love the child all the same I jus fear the way society and ppl react... and the struggles my child will have to face with being so to speck "different". I did some research and it said they're are more false positives when it come to the triple marker test then there are actually positive. So I was jus wondering has anyone ever went through this, how'd it turn out and jus your story.

Well just to kinda help with the feeling of thinking it may have been something you guys did, you guys are definitely not at fault. Ds occurs when there is a chromosome defect nothing anyone could have done to prevent this from occuring. I was up all night researching, and from what I can tell a lot of cvs times these test are inaccurate... which helps me a lil but I too am still terrified. I go tomorrow at 9am to the specialist I pray that every thing goes well for t out guys and us as well.

My doctor told me that they are referring me to a specialists that does the testing and I am really praying that my son or daughter doesn't have Down syndrome. My husband is convinced it's something we may have did wrong and I'm just really hoping the test is wrong.

I'm afraid to talk to anyone in my family other than my husband but he is jus as concerned as I am. I don't want anyone feeling bad for me or overloading me with their thoughts and opinions I jus want to share this with someone who is or has experienced my same situation.
