Level II ultrasound

WinsyWade

My levels for the quad screen came back high for down syndrome. I have to have a level II u/s and genetic counceling. Any thoughts or prayers for a healthy baby would be appreciated.

Good luck, will be thinking good thoughts for a healthy baby for you. One upside is that you get to see the babe again with a good level u/s! When is your follow up?

T&P for you and baby.

I still have to call for the u/s but I will go see my OB again on 7/12. It will be nice to see the baby again. What's funny (in a strange way) is that I haven't even had my anatomy scan yet. I will have that between 20-22 weeks.

GL! The u/s is a nice clear picture. I distinctly saw the top DD2s skull and mandible and the spaces between the plates - I'm still amazed by it. I'm looking forward to my next level 2 b/c of it.

My 1st round of the sequential screen put my risk at 1 in 25 for Ds and 1 in 2500 for trisomies 13&18. I had a level 2 u/s (b/c of a thickened nuchal fold - the b/w wasn't back at that point), found a cystic hygroma and went for a CVS test (that's when I got the results of the b/w) and genetic counseling.  *We also met with a geneticist after DD as born b/c the neonatalogist was a douche and didn't read anything about her/me before her transfer to their NICU*

The genetics counselor was nice, she went over what could cause the CH/elevated risks, talked about various outcomes based on the possible CVS results, showed us pictures of chromosomes and (the most time consuming part) made a family tree with all know familial disorders/known pregnancy histories of all the women in the family.

I will keep you and the baby in my thoughts!  I hope everything is just fine.
