@brandosmommy, they CAN see through ultrasound, it has something to do with the neck, they look at 20 weeks and they also do blood work at that time too

usually between 15 and 20 weeks they do a quad screen to check for down syndrome as well as a bunch of other genetic testing for other things that may be prevalent in your family

Through a ultra sound they found too much liquid in her neck bringing up reason for concern. And they said they won't know for sure unless I did the CVS procedure which gives a more accurate answer then blood work or ultrasound cause they are testing the babies actually DNA

But how can you sit there and tell someone that their baby is healthy then sit there and say you don't know ? @housfullofgrls

I was told this baby may have a chance of having Down syndrome so I got a CVS (amniocentesis) done

They could be wrong, it's happened many times before. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best. That's all you can do at this point. Be strong.

There's a test for it in the first or second trimester, I believe.
