Well, I mainly decided to have the down syndrome screening as an excuse to have an ultrasound (Good insurance and I like seeing the baby!). I didn't really think it was something that I was concerned about. Today, my phone rang and it was the nurse from my OB's office. She told me it was a negative screening and there was a 1 in 5000 chance of my little one having Down Syndrome. I was shockingly relieved. I didn't even realize that I had been worried!

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you have been having. It sounds...painful. I hope you get the go-ahead next week.
This is sort of my first baby, but sort of not. I had a baby thirteen years ago and placed her for adoption. It is an open adoption, so we have had a pretty neat relationship since she was born. But, I haven't raised her. So, this feels like a first baby in that I am experiencing the excitement and wonder of pregnancy for the first time and I am dreaming about the little baby I will be bringing home. But, I have had the experience of being pregnant and giving birth before. It is kind of complicated, but I'm making my way through it. |

thanks me too!
wow that sounds like a difficult situation but glad you have a good relationship with your first daughter - my biological mum gave me and my sister and 2 brothers up when we were very very young - my dad (and later stepmum) raised us, but my biological mum has never been part off our lives - we only have adopted children in our family who still have contact with their biological mum and i think its nice that they will grow up knowing her but at the end of the day they will know they were brought up in the best place possible as knowing their mum, they know she isnt capable of looking after them (due to mental illness) so are you goning to find out the sex of your baby? |

I think we are going to find out the sex of the baby. I wasn't very happy about that, but DH is "insisting." (The idea has grown on me now.) He wanted to know more than I didn't want to know. We should be able to find out in a month or two.

A new trisomy 21 and 18-13 Screening Tool is available at Prenatal Screening Software-Trisomy Risk Calculator
If you are interested in contrast the risk estimates provided by specialized centers, it's free and don't need registration for using. I become really impressionated when I saw it. What do you think about that tool? |
