I just got test results positive for trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)from the verify test. I'm in disbelief and shock. The genetic counselor suggested we do the cvs test to rule out a false positive. I can't believe this is happening!!
My daughter's best friend has down syndrome and her mom is an incredible woman who has taught me so much about children with that difference. I can't imagine the struggle you are feeling and facing and there are great resources and people out there for you, no matter what path things take.
Married DH : 7/7/12; 3 fur babies (2 dogs and 1 cat) DS born 9/3/13; DD born 7/22/15; LO due 5/28/18 FS (age 5) and FD (age 2) to become AS/AD very soon!
T&Ps!! Hopefully you received a false positive. If you didn't, when you're ready, know that the DS community is extremely kind and welcoming. You can do this!!!
I can't imagine what you're feeling right now but you and your family are in my prayers. FX for a healthy baby but I echo PPs that there are a lot of resources out there. Sending love.
This signature is all for YOU. I'm on mobile and can't see crap.
Thinking of you. It would be hard to hear something like that when you're not expecting it. I haven't gotten my harmony results yet and the waiting is really hard. The NT scan went well, but isn't as accurate as the blood tests. Hopefully CVS can give you a better answer.
That must be scary to hear. If your baby does turn out to Down syndrome there is a ton of support in the ds community. My friends have a daughter with ds and she is healthy and oh so sweet and happy. It will all be okay.
This...if it isn't a false positive you guys will be ok. Lots of T&Ps!

my thoughts are with you. although it may seem impossible right now, if it's not a false positive people with ds often lead great, happy lives. not saying it won't be a challenge but i work with individuals with ds and they are some of the happiest people i know.
