I need lots of T&Ps
When I went for my NT scan, the neck measurements were normal, so I thought my risk of downs and other trisomies would come back fine. Boy was I wrong.
My b/w came back, and I now have a 1/25 risk for trisomy 13 or 18 (apparently they didn't differentiate) which is a death sentence for my baby (babies don't usually live past a year with one and a day with the other). I've spent the past 2 days crying my eyes out not understanding how this could happen after things finally seemed to be going well for us, especially with my reasonably young age.
I have to go for an level 2 ultrasound and amnio on May 31st to find out whether I'm the 1 or one of the 24. It is killing me waiting that long, but according to my ob, peri's in the area won't do an amnio until 16 weeks. Amnio also carries a risk of miscarriage so I am nervous about the actual procedure too. There is some test that can bring us preliminary results in 48 hours, but idk if the doctor will do it (I've been too upset to call thus far). If not, I have to wait another 10-14 days after the amnio to even find out the results. Then I'd have to make a decision about termination if it doesn't come back in our favor, something I never thought I'd have to do.
I know the odds are 96% that the baby will be ok, but I'm scared to death that I've fallen in love with this baby only to lose it. I am literally just going through the motions of the day trying to make it until the 31st. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Keep your hope up.did you have 1 blood test or 2? I would think one one so far.
This is the reason my doctors office will not give you true number results until after the second round of blood work. It changes. They will give you a high% or a low% from the first test. Try to remain calm I know it seems impossible. However they are testing for markers of risk not facts. Keep your self positive and wait until your amnio.
Lot's of HUGS and positive vibes.

Praying for all three of you! Lots of love and hugs to you.
I did not have an amnio (I opted to not have it even though my NT results were not out of the park) but a very good friend of mine did and she said it was nothing to worry about (and I too was worried for the same reasons as you) and said that it was very easy and not uncomfortable.
