Did you know for sure

Did your dr tell you before birth that your child had a chromosome anomaly like DS? I'm curious because he said he found a soft marker and referred me to a genetic counselor who gave a numerical probability that seemed kind of low to me, but they sent us there because its their policy with any markers. Thank you.

We chose no genetic screening outside of the 20w anatomy scan. Ds1 had an echogenic focus in his heart at 36w and a small head. The drs told us nothing was wrong. He has a rare x linked mutation. Ds2 had a 50% chance of having the same mutation. He had a single umbilical artery. The drs were pretty sure he was healthy. he does have the same mutation.

We had CVS at 11 weeks. Showed all chromosomes present. Anatomy scan showed chorionic cyst which they did not tell me about since the CVS was 'clear'. Nate was born with three genetic deletions on chromosome 1 which have caused a slew of issues. We got lucky and did not know about his genetic issues before he was born. We would have terminated.
