XP CVS

Fitzkitten · January 2013

Hey 2nd trimester ladies, I saw someone posted about this, but I don't know what happened to the thread. I am getting a CVS on Tues the 5th, I have a rare chromosomal disorder that a piece of one of my X's is missing...baby needs to be checked to make sure we'll be ok. Just wondering if anyone's had one and how your experience went..did you have it transabdominal or cervical? Thanks!

I haven't had one, but I wish you and baby the best of luck!

P.S.: Is it considered pregnancy brain if you initially thought that this was going to be a post about a sale at a drug store?

I had one (cervical, not transabdominal). Posted a little bit about it here:

Good luck! I think the anticipation of it is much worse than the test.

Hi, I posted on August 13 moms, and XP on here.

I'm having a CVS tomorrow to screen for Cystic Fibrosis. DH and I are both carriers for a CF gene mutation.

My OB said he is 90% sure he is going go cervical, because the baby is sitting low in the uterus. He wont know for sure, though, until he looks again tomorrow. He also said that most procedures he does are transabdominal, FWIW.

I'll be thinking about you--I hope everything goes well. Good luck!
