Omg, I love cake reveals, it's gonna be so cute!

 

[mommyof2peas]

Ive never done one But since it is right around thanks giving I thought it would be a great time. Since everyone is together.

 

[NavyLadybug]

You'll need to videotape it!!

 

[mommyof2peas]

Yay for great scans and finding out the gender early! I won't know until November 16th and the wait is going to destroy me. I will be exactly 20 weeks. They almost scheduled me for the 5th and I would have gladly taken it, but my doctor wanted to stress the importance of getting the scan done as close to 20 weeks as possible.


baby was doing great at my appointment yesterday, it was my first actual ob appointment. I had a pelvic exam, breast exam and pap done and I have some blood work ordered for 4 weeks from now. Other than that I'm waiting for a call from the genetics counselor at the office to know if everything came back looking ok from the nt scan.

 

[zmzerbe]

I just got a call from the genetic counselor and she said that the risk numbers for a chromosomal abnormality came back "unusually high" and wants me to get a cell free DNA test. (Otherwise known as panorama, harmony, etc...).

How long did these results take to come in to you ladies that had this done?

 

[jtink28]

i took the materniT21, and it took 6 days to get the results.

remember, the risk numbers are just numbers - it's not a test, and there are LOTS of people who get "high" numbers and everything is 100% fine.

on a bonus note, you'll get to know the gender much sooner!

 

[KozmikKitten]

zmz I'm not getting it done but I believe I read that it takes 7-10 days to get the results of the panorama.

 

[zmzerbe]

Thanks ladies I know they are just numbers but they still worry me. I have two cousins with Down's Syndrome and my mom lost a baby to trisomy 18 in her late 2nd trimester before any of us kids were born. Also, like you said, at least I get to know the gender early. I'm not sure when I can go in to get this done yet, I have to talk to DH about when we are free.

They said that the Down Syndrome numbers were (1:45) and she said the other trisomy's were high as well.

Urgg got results and apparently my cervix is measuring only 2cm long... Anyone else experienced this??? Now I have to go for more ultrasounds and possibly get a stitch

no personal experience with this, but I hope everything goes ok I'm sure it's scary news to think about.

No experience on that Firsttimer

Zmzerbe, my mother also had high numbers (when she was tested for my siblings her's came back as 1:50, which when you think about it is 2%) and she has 6 healthy kids. They THOUGHT my youngest brother had Down's at her 20 week scan but it turned out to be something completely different (Called Craniosynestosis which isn't genetic)

With my son, my quads came back as 1:12000 for Down's and around the same for other Trisomy's and yet my daughter had Trisomy 4p. So numbers aren't everything

Thank you, that's a little reassuring lol

 

[SunUp]

Any scans soon?!

 

[mommyof2peas]

Next Fri is mine

The first time I took the test it was almost a week ... The second time it was 4 days. Do you or your husband have family history of genetic issues?
