Feel it's time to update everyone..

I'm pregnant with my first child and currently 18 weeks. We found out 6 weeks ago that our baby looked to have a defect called gastroschisis, then at 16 weeks we went in for another ultrasound and the doctor determined that it was in fact Omphalocele and also there looks to be VSD.

I opted to have amniocentesis and micro array testing done. The blood test came back first, where they found a region of duplication in chromosome 11 (25 genes) which they said there is no record of this in medical history or reports. So that remains a mystery or perhaps the more likely reason being a misreading or error.

The amniocentesis came back a few days ago, completely normal. Which I'm glad to hear, but still just as confused.

On the positive side of things, the baby has a high heart beat sticking around 150 or more, and we found out baby is a girl. Normal measurements for the gestational age and moving around a lot on the ultrasound. Also had the first trimester screening and the NT Scan the results were normal.

I have been transferred to the high risk OB Doctor, my appointment with them is Next Thursday the 18th. Also hoping to meet with the pediatric surgeon soon.

Just trying to take things day by day.
