Our baby girl

VikingGirl12VikingGirl12 member
in June 2016 Moms
We got the phone call today that we were terrified of.
The Harmony test came back positive, with a 99% chance that our girl has Down syndrome. We refused the amnio, and my dr fully supported our decision. We don't want to risk losing her.
Her anatomy scan was perfect and showed no markers. In a couple of weeks we will have a more in depth ultrasound and will meet with high risk OB's out of Atlanta and see what health issues we may be up against.
I will try to stay active here, but will be hard for a while.
We are obviously struggling right now and just ask for prayers. Thank you for all the support you showed before.

    See a specialist. The quoted 99% number is very misleading- that's both the sensitivity and specificity, but because true positive outcomes are rare, the positive predictive value is around 50% at best, and even lower than that if you're not high risk (positive predictive value decreases with decreasing prevalence in the population, whereas sensitivity and specificity are inherent to the test itself). If your doctor didn't explain all of this to you, find someone who will.

    Im sure this news must be very difficult.  Fingers crossed there will be no further health complications. I know you must feel like your at bottom of a very steep hill but just know all of us  are ready and willing to talk/listen whenever your ready. I have a good friend who's son had down syndrome. At birth she found out her son had down syndrome. At first she didn't post pictures of him when he was born and waited to announce the news (She just needed time to comprehend the news herself) but now she fills the Facebook feed with pictures of his adorable face. She's doing wonderful and most importantly her son is also doing wonderful. He's a very sweet, healthy and smart little boy. Keep us posted! Sending lots of love, thoughts and prayers your way.

    I'm so sorry that you didn't get the news you wanted but I can tell that your daughter will have the best life possible.  Like pp said, it doesn't mean there is only a 1% chance that the test is wrong.  I know many times parents prepare for Down's and the baby actually doesn't have it.  T&P are with you in your family during this difficult time.

    Hugs and thoughts to you! You're already showing how great of a mom you will be!

    While I know this is not the news anyone would hope for, I hope you can find peace in that in my teaching and behind I've sought out working with and being around children and adults with Down syndrome because of the joy, love for life and pure appreciation for life they live with.

    Whether your little girl has Downs or not, she is lucky to have you and your is and loving on her already!
