Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi there everyone, I have some very good news to report and I hope it helps. I know that reading people's good outcomes gave me alot of hope and reassurance. My baby boy, Liam was born on April 1st at 8:51 p.m. by C-Section ( I developed Preeclampsia), and was absolutely PERFECT. He was diagnosed with the EIF at 18 weeks and I suffered tremendous worry and anxiety for the last half of my pregnancy (not to mention a horrible winter which didn't help my mood either. But here it is, Springtime and I hold my precious little boy in my arms, smelling his sweet smell and feeling enormous relief.
I know it is easier said than done to not worry, because I kept thinking "I just may be that one statistic" where they only find one marker and he does happen to have Down's. But this is not the case. My doctor kept telling me to not worry as with everyone else. They kept saying that Down's would show many more markers. Sometimes people even have two or three and their babies come out fine.
I know all of you are worried, I was too and it sucked. Especially when people were so excited for you and deep down you feel so worried.
Try to continue your pregnancy and try to push it to the back of your minds. And everytime you see a medical staff, ASK about the spot. I did every chance I got and they would offer some reasurance.
I will continue to check up on everyone's stories. I think this marker is very very common and very little significance. Of course it is easy for me to say this now. Good luck to all of you, I completely understand the horrible worry you have to endure.
