Re: NT screening and Wifes B day
No tips as we skipped all of the screenings.
I just wanted to say Happy Birthday! and Good Luck!
I had a NT - but not a meeting with the genetic counselor. The maternal-fetal med doc just told us things looked good.
good luck!
We did neither with our first and both with this pregnancy. The NT took 3 tries to get the baby in the right position, but once he/she was there the tech told us quickly that everything looked good. She also gave a million pictures, which was fun
A blood draw and weight later we were sent home and got a letter in the mail with our new risk odds.
We went to the genetic counselor earlier in the pregnancy because of my family history. It was about an hour appointment in which we just went through my family tree for genetic issues. She took a lot of notes and told us that the main issues that we had been concerned about were not big red flags to her. She suggested a couple options for testing re hemophilia (I may be a carrier) and we opted for the least invasive (testing the baby at birth if it is a boy). It was, on the whole, a very reassuring appointment.
Good luck!
THANKS FOR THE B DAY WISHES !
The Scan was awesome saw so much - pictures galore. even saw the blood flowing through the umbilical cord ( never knew you could see that ) Saw all the chambers of the heart and the brain sections .... The fold was measuring correctly and now we wait for blood work ... Being 35 we are at a higher risk so we will see what the blood says. On the Multiples board they all said be careful of false positive and we know about them and will deal with the results when we get them.
It was an awesome day now we have to wait 3 weeks to see them again !
