thanks ladies you have all made me feel so much better about things @babybermea @jlou @113015angel @lostinct82mj
@londysmama16, yes the first screening I had I tested positive for Downs, they sent me to a specialist and did a scan, didn't see anything but still had the blood test maternity21 done and it can back negative.
I had the same thing come back on my scan. Got a cell free DNA test (materniT 21) and a fetal medicine specialist referral. My blood test just came back with no chromosomal abnormalities :) good luck. It's scary but message me if you need to talk.
yea they mentioned some test that I turned done because of the risk of miscarriage I think that was it @babybermea
It's a simple blood test they take from your arm . Since you don't carry the down syndrome gene they know it's from the baby in the bloodwork . If they offer you an amniostisis (not sure how to spell it ) test I would research it bc they basically poke your baby with a long needle which can cause a lot of issues and a lot of women are against it but to each women it's own . Anyways don't stress over it doll.
okay thanks that makes me feel a little better @babybermea
Don't worry about that they can give you a blood test to check for any deficiencies and also they can sit you down with a genetic counselor it is the doctors job to warn you just to cover there own asses if they felt it was serious they would tell you of other testing options
@londysmama16, and my child is also mixed, so u should be fine.. good luck
