Trisomy 18

I took the Maternit21 test at 16 weeks and came back positive for Trisomy 18. Had an amino on this past Tuesday and waiting the 10 days for results. Anyone with experience with Maternit21 false positive results? Is there any hope for my baby girl?

    I'm sorry, I don't have any knowledge or experience with the false positive rates on those tests.  I'm sorry you're facing this though and I hope that the amnio brings you relief.  Big hugs and best wishes for you.

    I wouldn't want to speak to the accuracy of the test. I would definitely consult with your doctor. 

    My thoughts are with you. {{{hugs}}}

    You might try the babycenter Mat21 board- it's pretty active and I do think folks post there who've dealt w/ positives on the NIPT. Best wishes to you as you work through this news...
