Thanks diannescruffy- i do have one question- with your first baby who had Trisomy 13- had you had any scans previous to your 20 weeks scan? Like the 12 week NT scan or anything that may have shown indicators for any chromosonal problems?
I am kind of feel like either way i am setting myself up for pain- i am scared to get to the 20 weeks scan and need to possibly delivery a baby i wont keep - but i am equally scared to have testing done. I guess i want the confirmation it will all be ok without having the CVS or Amnio- and i am hoping that at least the First Trimester Screening might give us some indication either way.
I will have the screening done next week- so i will just wait and see how that pans out and decide the next step from there.
When I was pregnant with Emmanuel all I had done were the blood tests no NT scan and the bloods did come back high risk but we chose for no further testing. I know it's a hard decision to make and only you can make it. I really hope everything turns out all ok.
i have just been referred this morning by my ob to have an amneo test in a week. i am measuring 13.5wks and had nt scan and blood test results come back today. my adjusted risk was 1:737 but my nuchal fold was 2.77mm. ob said anything over 3mm was 'aweful' and i am close to that. report said i am low risk but he doesn't believe that. dh is away in perth til friday so i won't tell him til saturday. its a terrible position to be in about having the test and risking miscarring a healthy child. i don't think i would terminate if it was downes.
i am thinking of you and hoping everything goes well for you and bub.
Hi Shan
I know this is an old thread but hoping for an update on how you’re going?
I’m currently in the same position as you, because I also have a balanced translocation involving chromosome 13 I am high risk for Trisomy 13 pregnancies.
I have just passed my 11th week and so far all scans have been perfect, baby is measuring spot on with a strong heart beat. The last scan I had was at 10 ½ weeks and bub was very active.
We are desperately hoping for a good outcome with this pregnancy after a previous loss and hoping you have a good news story to share.
Thanks
Rachel
