Pregnant after 35

UPDATE: Trying Not To Freak Out

The results just came back from the M21 test. The baby has Down's syndrome. I need to come in for another u/s so they can take a more thorough look at the baby's heart. They gave me an option of an Amnio but I just don't know how I feel about that right now. My mind and heart and shock right now. Thank you ladies for all of the thoughts and prayers.

  • @URMySunshine77 I am still mentally numb from everything. I have an Amnio scheduled for Monday so we will be able to get a few more answers. They also want to do a more in depth U/S too. We should have answers by Thursday.

  • I'm sorry you're not getting the news you'd like, but I'd also like to express my congratulations on your up-coming bundle of joy. Please, I am being sincere. All our test results came back normal, but when LO was born we found out she had Down Syndrome (also with a heart defect). The best advise we ever got was this; "she is a baby, treat her no different than any other baby, enjoy her." OMG! She is wonderful! She draws people to her. We can't go anywhere without someone wanting to stop and talk with HER, not us, but her. When she smiles, it's not just an expression on her face, she smiles with her whole body. You will soon have a beautiful LO to snuggle, coo, and tickle. Enjoy the baby days, the Down Syndrome is just a label.
