Pregnancy Info HOME

Im 24 yrs old and this is my first pregnancy and it's been tough. I've been on a very big emotional roller coaster. My 1st U/S came back as two markers for DS. I went and got a level two U/S and the doctor advised that there was a white spot on the heart and that it was very common and not for me to worry. As for the second marker they thought there was a chance for spina bifida and the level two U/S showed no signs of it and that all the body parts and organs were all delveloping correctly and there was no sign of spina bifida. I was set free of any worrying. I then had to go to my monthly follow up and turns out my AFP test came back abnormal so again I had to go for another ultrasound and I opted to go through the Amnio procedure. We advised the doctors regardless of the results we were not going to term. the pregnancy but, wanted to prepare ourselves and educate ourselves if our baby turns out ot have DS. I felt safe and assured the procedure would go well and the risks were really low. I'm 24 weeks along and the baby is kicking like crazy! I can't wait for his arrival in Dec. I should be getting my Amnio results back in about a week or so..I just took the test last Wednesday. Wish me luck!
