mine came back negative...but now when my babies born he has to get genetic testing cuz they think he possibly has some kind of skeletal dysplasia cuz his femur bone is 4+weeks behind (his foot is longer then his femur for cryin out loud ><) or some form of dwarfism. Isnt it great how they make you worry sick when your pregnant and already worrying sick???

Best of luck with your babies. I didn't have the testing done so I don't have much to add but I didn't want to read and run.

I can contribute that I have a very mild form of Spina Bifida that has caused no real difficulties in my life.
