Last week at our 20w US, we were diagnosed with SUA. Baby boy loves his breach position, so today, during the level 2 US, the tech couldn't get a very good view of his left kidney (mentioning it may be pelvic). The heart and right kidney look good, but the doctor said his head was measuring small. They measured both my husband and my heads and we're both average.
Neither the doctor nor the geneticist said we should get the amniocentesis, but it felt like they thought we should; and it was offered due to the SUA and small head. The genetic testing said we were 1:100,000 for Down Syndrome, but there are so many other abnormalities that could be present. We opted for the amniocentesis and it was performed today as well (with test results in 10-14 days).
After reading the message boards, I know lots of healthy babies have been born with SUA, but have others/are others experiencing these other issues? I'm just hoping for some piece of mind to get me through these next couple of weeks of waiting.

Thinking of you as you're going through this difficult time waiting for your amnio results.
