[trustGodHeWilldoit]

When I was 12w2d I went to my nucal scan everything so fine with the baby they ask me if I want to do genetic test that it was simple just a blood test which they propose to me with my last pregnancy that time a refused it but this time around I accepted it which I regret    result came in nd I was 1-30 they send me to a genetic counselor she said its recommend to do an amniocentesis to verify if the baby has DS I refused it nd she said it was optional nd the result of the test doesnt means baby has it I left nd forget about it couples of days later I saw my midwife nd she said that alot of woman test positive nd had healthy baby that dont pay attention to that I was happy about it at my 20 weeks scan tech couldn't find something on babys heart she didn't told me what she was looking she called the.doctor nd the doc said baby wasnt cooperating nd that I have to go back in two weeks.I went back they did the sono nd told me they see a valve on the heart that usually babies with DS has it but normal babies can have it too when she show me on the monitor I just saw a white spot so the doc said that she going to send,me to a pediatrics heart specialists so they can perform a scan to check baby heart I have to go on friday to the specialist nd im a lil worry cause this is my 4 pregnancy nd this the first time I go thru something like this but ihave.a feeli.g everything is ok  with my baby I think they doing all this cause of the blood test cause the tech told the doc her result was 1-30 when  the doc was doing the scan..does something like this happen to any of you ladies nd had healthy baby? Thank in advance for you respond..

Dony worry I was one in fourty and my baby is fine

[trustGodHeWilldoit]

Thanks..I won't do no more testing I just going to go to the especialist after that im done with the testing..

TrustGod,  if you're not considering abortion if your baby has Downs Syndrome,  all these tests are worthless and put the baby at risk.

If you found our your baby DID have Downs,  and you still want to proceed with the pregnancy,  it's really best to stop all the testing.

Oh wow im so glad the bump on your baby back vanished nd it resolved by itself its a good news that you passed your ds test that reduced the chances alot.. congrats on finding ur having a precious baby girl praying for the day of the echo they give good news nd they dont find anything wrong on your baby heart..its a good sign that shes very active that means shes happy in your tommy :)
I also refuse the amnio too if my baby has ds the amnio doesnt going to help him inside me in anyway so why take chances of miscarriage just to have a peace of mind I will love him no matter what..

[Toriiee]

oh nd i ended up noot doing the amnio.... i furgot to put that

[Toriiee]

at my first ultrasound at 9w5d the tech saw something behing my babys neck that didnt seem right... i was sent to a specialist.. he said it was called a cystic hygroma nd suggested i do the amnio... i agreed but wen i got home i started looking things up about cystic hygroma nd the amnio... i was terrified to see that the cystic hygroma could be a result of ds, could just be a cyst that may or may not be removable after birth, nd if my baby was a girl she could get i furgot exactly wat its called but where she could die at birth.. i was scared to death... wen i went in fur the amnio on my way i told myself if the bump is gone im not ganna do it ill love my baby no matter wat... i got my ultrasound nd the bump was gone thank god! it resolved itself! i discovered i was having a lil girl :) nd i got my test results back from my dr nd passed the ds test... i am still seeing the specialist.. im 27w3d nd i go the day after chirstmas fur an echo (ultrasound on her heart) i am very nervous but my lil girl has been very active so i hope thats a good sign! i also know someone who they told her that her daughter was positive fur down syndrome nd she creid every single day all day all night... her daughter was born perfectly healthy! tests could be wrong sometimes... yu just have to be positive nd hope fur the best! good luck :)

i just had my 5th baby during my pregnancy the doc was mre then positive she had downs my test was also positive for ds but she is a very healthy beautiful 7week old.. plz dont let the test scare u as they are not accurate at all and have a very high false reading but whn they told me she would have ds it didnt bother me it just made me love her that much more

[acline93]

stay positive and have faith! just remember that most of these tests come out as false positives, which is why I declined all testing but the NT scan, and that was just because I wanted an extra ultrasound to see my baby. And even if your baby does have DS, it's not the end of the world. DS babies are little bundles of joy, they're so happy and they bring such joy to so many people. Just keep faith mama, I'll pray for you!

Alot of woman get false positives on genetic testing. I wouldnt worry about it to much until they tell you for sure. Having a baby with DS is not the end of the world. My neice has ds and she is an amazing little girl. They want to love you more than you love them. It will be ok. god wouldnt put you through something he didnt think you couldnt handle. Try not to dwell on what "might be" When it comes back negative you will regret that you spent so much time worrying.
