Scary news at big u/s...

Baby girl looked okay, except her legs and arms are measuring about a week to two weeks behind the rest of her. My OB said that if we hadn't had the CVS she would have been "very worried about Down's". As it is, we are being sent for a level II u/s at the hosptial w/in the next 2 weeks. We know it can't be Down's, but there are so many other small genetic changes (similar to Linc's) that can cause serious problems and wouldn't be picked up from the basic CVS test. I really hope this all turns out to be nothing, but based on our crazy history, I am pretty freaked out.

  • I'll be thinking of you and hoping it's nothing. 

    Also, a question that you don't have to answer but is it possible that dwarfism is a possiblity?  It's not always fatal as was my daughters case especially since your daughter is healthy in every other way.

     Dwarfism also won't show up on any genetic testing until after they are born most of the time and they test for a certain type.

    Like I said hopefully it's nothing but if it ends up being something in the dwarfism realm please contact me here or the loss boards and I'll be happy to share what I know.

    Take care!

  • I'm so sorry, I will be praying that it's just a mistake!
