Down Syndrome

I am just wondering if anyone else's baby in the month of May has been diagnosed? I took the materniti21 test and it came back positive. I am ready to meet my little boy and I'm ready for this emotional roller coaster of a pregnancy to be over with lol! I feel like every time I go to the doctor I get told something else that just makes me stress. Thankfully I have a great team of doctors who know what they're doing and are the sweetest group of people I could imagine.

    Did you have any additional testing done to confirm the maternit21 results. From what I was told it is a risk screening test and not a definitive diagnosis. We had a high risk result for this pregnancy with maternit21 and after an amnio were told everything is fine.

    I have not had the same experience. But I echo PP the test is used as an indicator. More testing is done before the diagnosis. T&Ps to you and your little one.

    T&Ps to you and your sweet little man. I agree with these ladies. It's only an indicator and not a diagnosis. My OB also echoed this to us.

    Definite T&P to you. They told my friend with maternit21 results that she was having a Down syndrome baby. She was emotional, but was okay. She had a healthy little girl with no DS. I would get amnio if you are concerned because that will diagnose for sure. My OB just looked at the growth, took blood work, and measured the pocket of fluid between the back of the head and the spine to determine if I was at risk. I personally love DS children and adults. When you work with them you find they have such sweet personalities. Good luck sweetheart.
