This is my 3 rd pregnancy . Had the nt scan and blood work done , results show 1:7500 chance of Down syndrome. Feeling good! Went in for anatomy scan, found out having boy :) , but also found 2 soft markers( short femur and dilated kidney).....worried ( even though doc said they are common in healthy babies) . Took the harmony rest, results came back great less 1:10,000 chance of ds. Feeling good again. Went back for ultrasound yesterday and they were going over what they were going to do at scan and that I'd be back in 2 weeks for fetal echocardiogram , I asked why and they said if ey see an issue with kidney they like to this because the 2 are formed at same time and if issue with one , might be issue with heart........he said by my ultrasounds he doesn't think there will be an issue... But I'm freaking out!,, now I'm thinking they lied to me about my harmony test results and something is wrong with baby! Please someone help me, I know feeling like this isn't normal .

    There are many other things that aren't related to ds that can be wrong so there is no reason to think they lied. Try to trust your doctor when he says he just wants to make sure everything is okay.

    I know it is hard, I have had 3 different anatomy scans so far and after everyone they say the babies look good but I need to come back in two weeks do they can look again.

    Downs Syndrome is just one reason a baby can have abnormalities of the kidneys and or heart. There are many others. I'm so sorry you're facing this worry and it's stressful, but I don't think there's anything you can do but ride it out. T&P for a healthy baby and pregnancy.

    When I had ds2 I had 4 different scans each came back with a different soft marker and the other soft marker had went a way.  I had the fetal echocardiagram as well. It was extremely stress. I took the Matertini21 test that came back negative. I don't think the doctors are lying to you they are just doing the best they can to be as through as possible which gives a lot of false "maybes". Try to relax - even though it is near impossible.  It is normal to be freaked out and worry about the health of your baby.  Take it slow and when test at a time.
