I dont post much and for that im sorry. I got A call the middle of the week that my Dr wanted us to come in the next day to discuss my penta screen results. Turns out i have a 1 in 10 chance of my baby having trisomy 18. Waiting on the call for the mfm . Has anyone else dealt with this im so scared.

  • Thank you everyone.
  • Big hugs, I am so sorry. I hope the doctor will have a way to make a diagnosis so you have more information and that you can see a genetic counselor. 
  • Hoping for the best!

  • The good news is: It's just a ratio of your 'chances' of having it.  Like PP said, you still have 9 in 10 chances of a normal baby. 

    I'm sure further testing will be ordered (CVS or Amnio) to confirm.  We will all be sending positive energy your way and hope that the coming weeks (while you wait on further confirmation) will go by fast. 

    ...Hugs...
