And the scariness continues :(

LWilson82 · January 2012

I posted yesterday regarding my scary NT scan and how it came back with a 1 in 47 chance that the baby might have Downs. But we were still upbeat because the actual NT Scan was good, it was just the blood work that was bad. And heck 98% is great odds.

Well I got a call from the doctor today, she explained that because my scan was normal yesterday they didn't call a doctor into the room to discuss the actual scan with us. But she was looking at the still shots from the Scan and saw a few concerning things regarding the fluid under the baby so she wanted us to come back and repeat the test.

We went back and much to our horror it was exactly as she thought. The tech yesterday measured incorrectly and there was significant fluid under the baby making our chances of chromosomal abnormalities shoot from 1 in 47 to 1 in 2.

Needless to say I was a mess. We opted to do the CVS which I had been completely against. But due to the fact we were no longer just discussing Downs, and were now given odds that the baby could have life ending issues, we decided to do it.

That test is horrible despite how wonderful our doctor was. In any case we find out the results on Monday. Could definitely use any thoughts and prayers:)

Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing, it's always hard to believe when you find yourself in that 1%

Fingers crossed everything is okay!

I wanted to share with you my sister's story, if you don't mind.

She had her NT scan, and her results were 1 in 5. She had the blood work, the amnio, etc. The results all came back with chromosomal abnormalities, trisomy, etc. Her high risk doctors all told her that basically something is wrong with the baby, and to be prepared.

She was a mess throughout the remainder of her pregnancy, and her baby girl was born happy and completely healthy in October.

I hope your situation turns out to be the same!

Oh my goodness. I am SOOO sorry you are going thru this. This is scary stuff. Please try to stay positive until you know for sure. I know a couple of people who were told the baby had a high chance of Down Syndrom and the baby came out perfectly healthy. These initial tests are not always accruate...stay strong. Will certaintly say a prayer for you.
