Pregnancy Info HOME

Ditto to 1moremoms comment. I was so happy to find this message board and read people's stories instead of more scientific studies! I am 36 and will be 37 at delivery. My first trimester testing (NT, plus blood work) gave me 1:937 for Downs so I had put it out of my mind. Flash forward to Level II ultrasound when the dreaded spot was found on left ventricle. Odds if they had never done the 1st trimester screening would have been 1:100. I am going to see a genetic counselor to have my odds recalculated. At any rate, I'm not doing amnio so reading the boards here and elsewhere is how I'm going to prepare, hopefully relax and prepare for whatever comes our way. If there are any moms 35 and over who have been through this please share your story regardless of outcome. I wish good results for everyone on this board and thank you for posting. Although I wish no one had to worry about the EIFs, I find it comforting to know that so many other women are willing to share their stories!
