Good morning ladies! Boy, this has been such a worrisome pregnancy so far or tough year period... 1st, I miscarried on February 25th (that was so hard on me). Then, I got pregnant with this baby a month later 😮. I go to the doctor to start up my regular appointments, and I didn't like how I was treated; it was as if I were lying about my positive pregnancy tests I took because they didn't see a "yolk sac" and they put me through a battery of tests. The tests were unnecessary because I just ovulated late. Then the weeks go by, I'm put back on insulin and bp dosage increased greatly, and the unwanted weight gain 😭. Then about 2 weeks ago my husband and I were worried because they said my baby had a 1/190 chance of having down syndrome. So finally I got my Natera Panorama test results back and everything came back low risk, which was wonderful news to hear since I've been a ball of nerves after that phone call. I was also told that my baby is a girl (which is so awesome, little boys are too but I wanted to experience having a daughter as well because I believe this will be my final pregnancy). Have any of you ladies had this test done, and how accurate were your results?

@spookylyn they went by my ultrasound that said my baby's nasal bone didn't appear. The baby was moving a lot when I got the ultrasound done. However, the doctor reviewed the photos and said the baby looked fine and the fluid on the neck was fine as well. Also, I am African American, so it's possible for the baby's nasal bone to not be as prominent from what I was told, and my husband and I both have small noses. So I feel like the genetics counselor was being dishonest to get me back in there just to create an extra bill. I'm also not getting the amniocentesis done because I believe my baby is fine.

@spookylyn yes, everything was negative and low risk

@spookylyn if it came back positive we were just going to wait until the baby is born to see what we were going to do

@hollya1221 your gender was accurate for the 1st as well?
