Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello all!
I haven't visited this site in quite some time, but I thought I'd return and give you an update on my son. Just as all of your success stories were comforting to me during my pregnancy, I figured I'd send a little comfort you way! In August of 2006, I shared my story regarding the two soft markers that were found during my 20 week ,level 2 ultrasound...an echogenic foci on my son's heart and a choroid plexus cyst on his brain. EIF as we all know is associated with Down Syndrome and CPCs, I was told, are associated with Trisomy 18...a fatal condition. My husband and I did seek help from a genetic counselor where we opted out of the amnio due to the high risks of miscarriage. I spent many days and nights crying and worrying over my son's health. I am very happy to say that on January 29, 2007, I delivered a healthy 9 lbs, 9 oz baby boy. Now that he is two years old, I can tell you that he is growing to be a very strong and very healthy little boy!!
I would also like to relay another success story...my girlfriend's 20 week ultrasound showed 5 soft markers, and she recently delivered a very healthy baby girl! Looking back to my pregnancy, I was very thankful for this forum...it gave me hope. I think it's amazing that with today's technology, we have a means of sharing our worries and fears with others with the opportunity of gaining a bit of comfort at the same time. My prayers are with you all!
