I can't be too sure about my blood work, all I know is that when the sonographer initially measured the nuchal fold he worked it out as a 1 in 30 chance of DS or other chromosomal disorder, but then when he phoned for my BT results and worked that in, it rose to 1 in 20. So I'm guessing that no, there was not normal blood work.
Please be kind to yourself. Allow yourself to cry, I did. I was so angry with God too, I yelled at Him, demanded answers, cried more... you do whatever you need to do. Whatever you need to do to get yourself through each day.
Each day, you are one day closer to getting those results. I'm so sorry they didn't have enough to do to fast results as well as the longer one and you have this period of time now to wait.
Life is not perfect for everybody. It gives and it takes. What we can do is to accept and find the peace of our hearts.
I have done all I could do. I cried, I asked, I complained~~~~~~~~. But all these wont change anything. The only thing I could do is to let God take it over. I believe if God guides, God provides. If this is what I have to face, I have to take it. I have to be strong for those who I love and those who love me.
a long weekend will come again. probably at the same time next week, I have already known my final sentence. I am so nervous now. Every day in next week must be a torture untill the final time comes.
I have no idea. If it is ten days like the doctor said the other day, then this Wednesday will be the earliest. But I am not sure. It is so hard to stay positive right now.
Wongbaby, stay strong. I know how hard it is. I know.
Where are you, work or home?
Wednesday is the day after tomorrow. That's so close. You can get through. Talk to the baby, tell it how loved it is. Talk to God, ask for His strength. Ask for peace. Ask for rest, for energy.
I am right now alone at home. I usally do some part-time work at home basis. But it has been stopped for a while ever since I found myself pregnant. I will try to start work again as soon as possible. But every time when I opened my laptop, I could not help ending up in googling, although I have almost read all the related posts.\\\\
I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Take each day as it comes and I hope you get good news soon. There are so many positive stories from incredibly strong women here on BB. Dr Google can be comforting and informative or an absolute PITA. If he isn't telling you what you need to hear, focus on the BB stories. Easier said than done I know but it may help. The support here is amazing. Big hugs to you.
I want to tell you about a dear friend of mine.
She was pregnant with her first child and had her NT scan. The sonographer told her that the baby looked healthy and was developing normally. She was over the moon, and so happy to see her bub on the screen.
After her blood work was done, she was given a 1 in 8 chance of DS. She was shocked, scared and very worried. Her OB suggested a CVS. She had the CVS.
After a torturous wait, she was told that her bub was developing normally! He was perfectly fine! He did not have DS.
She gave birth to her bub 4 weeks ago, and he is absolutely gorgeous and healthy.
I know that this story will not change the result of your CVS, but I wanted you to know that good outcomes can occur even with seemingly bad odds.
I hope you can find peace as you await the result
I just received a call from my doctor who performed my CVS. The fast result is clear and I am having a baby boy!!!!!! The full report will be back in another week. I am overwhelmed now, having tons of emotions and feelings in my head and heart. I am not able to think properly.
I try to talk to my OB later this afternoon cause he is too busy with other patients now.
I remembered when I did the CVS, the doctor mentioned having clear CVS results is passing the first hurdle. Does this mean I am now half passing? I know it is quite uncommon for the full results differing from the fast results. But I am starting to worry again.
