good results from NT scan, whew
Well I just got back from the NT scan, we got our first trimester screening results, and we are okay. 1 in 310 chance for Downs, 1 in 15,000 for other Trisomies. Not bad for 39 year old mom & 41 year old DH!
We will do further bloodwork around 15 weeks & then see what those numbers suggest in terms of whether we do the amnio.
We are really pretty relieved, especially because of previous preg. where our results came back 1 in 5 chance of a problem (and we lost the baby to trisomy 18). We were very nervous today, and I'm very happy that things look pretty good this time around.
We're calling our parents tonight to tell them about the pregnancy, and I think we're in for a very nice Thanksgiving tomorrow. I know I am feeling particularly thankful at this time.

Yay! Terrific news! We got our results last week and they all came back great too. Such a relief! We're going to wait to get the results from the 2nd Tri screening and the detailed ultrasound to decide if we are going to do an amnio. If all looks great, we may just bypass it.
I see you're in LA. Which hospital will you be delivering at? I'm at Ceders.
Congrats again!
Hey Kirstie, this is #1 for us, and we're planning to deliver at Providence St. Joseph's in Burbank (we live in the valley).
Happy & Healthy 9 months to you!
It's #1 for me as well... And 40 years old at that! Not bad, Not bad at all.
I can't wait to hear how everything goes for you. Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy! Cheers!
Suz, I am so happy to hear the good results! Suzanne is having the.....
