I'm sooo confused. So I just realized that my doc didn't do the Panorama...the lab did the Claritest. I was confused when the nurse said my claritest results were back...I tried Googling but no idea about it...not much info. I did see that one girl on a board heard there were more false positives with it so her office didn't switch to it. Little glimmer of hope. Anyone heard of this test or took it?
@Texafornian I am so sorry you're going through this. Lifting you and your family up in prayer! I always try to remember that if God will bring you to it, He'll bring you through it. Even if the result is Downs Syndrome, there is such a huge variation on the degree of disability. It's absolutely amazing how much they can accomplish. I pray that this is a false positive, but if not I pray for peace, comfort, wisdom and for you to be surrounded by love and support
@Texafornian I've never heard of that test. How odd! I will be praying for you and hoping this test is just whackadoodle!
My cousin is 53 and has Downs. My great aunt is 90. She just turned over primary care this past year. She loves him with all her heart, but older adults with Downs come with special challenges. If you would like to hear more, just let me know.

@Texafornian - no advice or experience. Just support. You get no judgement from me for the decisions you need to make for your family. I read a blog about a woman with a child who has Down Syndrome, who had no idea her daughter had it until she was born. She wrote a book as well, all about her experience and she has become a huge advocate for people with Down Syndrome. Some of her posts are a bit wordy, but beautifully written. You should check it out- https://kellehampton.com/
@Texafornian just wanted to say how sorry I am that you're going through this. I've mentioned this before (sorry if I sound like a broken record), but with my last PG, the scan showed my baby's brain did not fully develop- it didn't separate into two hemispheres, looked to be holoprocensaphaly. Which is a sign of T13 or T18. So I got the cell free DNA/ panorama (never heard of the other test you mentioned, sorry). Blood work came back positive for T13 and another scan confirmed holoprocensaphaly. We lost the baby. It was the hardest thing I have ever gone through and most likely will ever go through. I know our situations are slightly different, but if you need someone to vent to, I can relate. Also I follow a page on instagram, macymakesmyday. The mom has two children with Down syndrome and they always bring a smile to your face. Hang in there
@Texafornian I'm so sorry you're going through this. I want you to know I very much admire your pragmatic approach when discussing your options. Of course, I hope for happy news, but in the case that the outcome is not ideal, the decisions you and your husband make are yours alone and what is best for your family. Sending you all my love.
I woke up at 4:30am to use the restroom and their was a small amount of bright red blood on the toilet paper...waiting for my drs office to open so I can call them

@harleyquinn0621 try not to panic! Did you have sex or see an OB lately or insert progesterone or something where a scrape could've occurred? FX that it's absolutely nothing. My SIL had bright red blood at 5m and it was just a random occurance. Try and stay calm...let us know what the doc says. Xo
@harleyquinn0621 Fingers crossed it's nothing! A friend of mine spotted early in the second tri and all was good. I know it doesn't make it any less stressful though. Hope you get through soon!
Thank you ladies .... no sex or anything that may have caused it.....I've used the restroom several more times now checking for more blood and it seems to have stopped...I'll still call the dr when triage opens at 9am to see if they can check the baby...it's only 5:30am here right now so it will be a long wait

@harleyquinn0621 T&Ps for you. Hopefully it's stopped and baby looks good.
@Texafornian I completely understand what you're saying about worrying about your age and leaving the responsibility of caring for a special needs child to the sibling. Since we are older we have talked about the same concerns. I have a friend whose brother is about 40 and has Down's. His case isn't super severe but it isn't minor and he needs a lot of extra medical care and help. I never asked my friend what their long term plans were but I can do that. I'm hoping your level 2 goes well today.

one of my.....favorite....symptoms of pregnancy is the raging hemmhorids I tend to get. They often leave blood behind.....that's.....fun....
so far no further bleeding. I called my DR office and left a message for the triage nurse... still waiting for them to call me back... i'm hopeful since we just heard the heartbeat again last thursday and it was not a lot of blood/stopped quickly everything is still ok with the baby but I would like to find out why i was bleeding

@harleyquinn0621 glad it subsided and hope the OB can give you some answers!!
You guys...I just had to share this. So there is a good sized group of us from my S14 Bump group that still chat daily via FB. My doorbell just rang and this beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered to brighten my day by one of the ladies whom I'm not even as close to! Just goes to show you...IT TAKES A VILLAGE and these mommy groups are invaluable and so so rewarding/comforting. S17 is a also a GREAT group of ladies...don't y'all forget that.
DR office finally called... DR is not having me come in ugh... she put me on pelvic rest and said if it happens again to call them..... the nurse said because i just had a good ultrasound on the 02/28 and we got a good heartbeat on the 03/03 the DR is confident it will resolve on it's own .....

@harleyquinn0621 I know that's super frustrating (when my doctor wouldn't see me after I spotted the first time, I was suuuuper stressed about it), but since it was just a small amount and you otherwise feel ok, it's encouraging that your doctor isn't worried! FX for no more spotting!
amandarene112 i agree.. i'm going to take the fact that the dr thinks everything is fine and just try to relax
thank you all for enduring my mini freak out haha

@amandarene112 THANK YOUU! ahhhhhh. How the eff am I supposed to sleep tonight? Oh wait I'm pregnant and am exhausted so that'll be fine. But surviving tomorrow until he gets home will be so painful. I just cannot effing wait!!! AAAHHHH
@lahearn18 You'll talk to us all day until here gets there, duh. But seriously, that will probably be the longest day of your life. DH and I once didn't see each other for a month and a half, and the plane ride home felt like it took ten years. At that point, distraction is nearly impossible.
@amandarene112 i will be blowing up every thread tomorrow haha, so watch out everyone, be prepared lol. But I actually scheduled some stuff to do to help distract me...like a wax...
@harleyquinn0621 I had some bleeding Sunday night and Monday morning. Mine was most likely caused by sex though. Called my Dr first thing yesterday morning and luckily they got me in yesterday afternoon. Baby looked great! My dr is really good about getting you in if you ever have concern. Hopefully everything is fine!
@lahearn18 you could spend the day out shopping for something SEX-AY! Brown chicken brown cow girl...get it! Lol
I second this idea! haha
