? received bad news My baby tested positive for spina bifida ? the nurse said it could be a false positive. &’ I have to…

Prayers your way.

@michelle wait , no they didn't do that . It was just a normal ultrasound and they looked at everything.. which my ultrasound was fine and it ended up being a false positive. They didnt stick a needle in my stomach..

Did they stick the needle In your stomach?

@michelle , yes they did

Heyyy mine came back positive also, did they do a detailed ultrasound?

Wonderful news! So glad to hear that.

Great news ❤️

Hey ladies !!! Thanks for all your prayers and words of encouragement! Everything went great , I have a healthy baby !! It was a false positive ??

What she said^^^ I was tested last week and got the results back Saturday afternoon, everything was normal. But before I tested she said do not worry these tests are always spotty and have thrown off lots of false positive! Sending prayers for you!

I'm right there with ya. My son tested positive for Downs Syndrome from my quad screen blood work. I had my anatomy scan done last Saturday and my results came back as baby is healthy! Facial/Cranial structure is normal and so are all of his major organs. Still going to consult with a genetic counselor for reassurance but just know those tests have a very HIGH rate of false positives... Many many people get a "positive" and turns out nothing is wrong with baby at all.

Best of luck to you and try not to stress until you get further testing. My prayers and heart are with you and your blessing! ?❤

I'll be keeping you and baby in my prayers today ❤

Thank you so much ladies!! It’s always good hearing someone else’s story &’ how you guys pulled through ???? it lifts me up in a way.. but I go in for my ultrasound today at 10:20am . I will keep you guys posted .

I had the same thing 5 years ago with my first son. We also had to do the ultrasound and he was fine. I did find out after though the same protein that indicates spina bifida can indicate preterm labour. I went into labour and my son was born at 34 weeks.

Sending prayers to u. Hope baby is ok.

I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope that's it's a false positive....keep us updated?

I'm so sorry to hear this. There are many different severity levels of SB. I have it and aside from being petite (4'10") and being ever so slightly bow legged (it's not that noticeable when I walk though ?), I am extremely healthy! I had a couple surgeries at the beginning of my life, but I don't remember any of it. I'll be praying for you and your baby that he/she may have a mild form like me. xoxo.

So sorry to hear this my dear. I hope that they find its wrong and you get to hold your health y baby in few months

Prayers girl!

Yes it was from a blood test . &’ I’m praying so

With my son my results came back 1/4 (super high risk) for neural tube defects, but he was completely fine. I hope it's the same for you!

Oh no I'm sorry! Was this from a blood test they took or something?
