had my anatomy scan done today they said baby had a small nose which could be a sign of down syndrome but had no heart defect or anything else unusual also said it is seen in alot of African American babies which my daughter is half black has anyone else had something like this show up on ultrasound
Still haven't told DH... ...that we're expecting! ? Tonight we were at dinner with my brother and SIL and they just had a baby 4 weeks ago. She said something about babies and DH replies, with such an attitude, "uh no! Never again, we are done!"
Baby Shower Dress?! Shopping has been difficult and I can't decide which dress for my shower? Keeping gender a surprise!
I forgot to post the joys of having a Halloween 🎃 Baby . My own Photography shoot of the belly instead of doing the same as everyone else . 🥰 baby daddy and I had a blast 💋💋💋🔥
So at my last ultrasound the tech said my placenta is anterior, at the front of my uterus instead of the back...which means that it may take a lot longer to feel baby move:( has anyone else had anterior placenta?
The ultrasound tech told me my baby is showing hints as to the baby might having down syndrome. (even though the down syndrome blood test and chromosome 18 blood test came back negative) they said sometimes they can be inaccurate and gave me an option of to not do anything at all, to do additional blood work which is only gonna be 80% accurate or I can do an amniocentesis test which puts the baby at a very low risk of miscarriage but is 100% accurate. they said the baby showing a cyst on the brain, 2 black spots on the brain, a bright spot on the baby's heart, and the baby's nose bone is super short. and they said those are hints as to the baby having it. anyone go through this??? message me please. I've had a miscarriage prior to having my son which showed sets of 3 chromosomes after the fact.. I wanted to do the 3rd option with the amniocentesis test but I just don't know.

@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.

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.

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
