I went to get my blood test done last week to screen for disorders.
I got a call Monday that my test came back abnormal.
I am really scared! I want my baby to be healthy, and I am worried that my dreams might be crushed.
Did anyone else get abnormal results that didnt wind up affecting their baby? I am 17 weeks now, blood test was done at 16 weeks.
Re: Extreme Panic
This is one of the reasons we opted out of most testing.
Even if there is a problem, you will find a way to deal and this child will still bless your familiy.
This. We opted out for all of the early screenings. No matter what, we will love and raise this baby. And all the worry and stress will only make things worse. Good luck and stay calm

Try to keep yourself busy, that seems to help me.
Ditto. We chose to not get the tests done because it would not have changed anything but make us worry more.
I was never told I could opt out of the test. They just told me that at 16 weeks they usually do the blood draw, that I could do it that day or wait. No one said it wasnt necessary
That stinks. At our very first prenatal appt, my dr explained that we could opt out and gave us the release paper work. That's also when she told us how high the false positive rate is.

I made that mistake for about 5 min before I stopped myself!
I also made the mistake of looking at images of the disorders I had never heard of. That lasted about as long as it took the page to load.
I'm scheduled for my level 2 u/s on monday morning. What is the harmony test?
