Congrats to all the new gender reveals!! :) Sooo exciting

AFM: Last Friday when we went to find out the gender she did the skeletal also. According to the pictures and the tech who was also the tech for my DS said everything including the spine looked great and healthy. As for the blood work for Spina bifida and down syndrome the down syndrome was negative but the spina bifida was positive. So now I have a scan at 9:45 and additional tests tomorrow to make sure that everything is going to be ok. The nurse did reassure me that this test if very high on giving false positives and if there had been anything close to spina bifida that the ultrasound would have showed it when mrs. lori was looking and measuring. She also said that's why I dislike this test bc it's not diagnostic and it could very highly be wrong. She told me to try not worry because my numbers look great, everything else looks great, and if there was other symptoms or abnomalities then there would be worry but, even the ultrasound friday would have shown something and Kensley's spine looks wonderful. I sure do hope so. We need plenty of prayers I'm still a little shook up and I've cried and cried I can only hope that this is a false positive and Kensley is in great health. I did read where it says that the most common cases the babies, children, and even adults it does not cause problems or need treatment or even know you have it unless a test or xray when older. :cry: I just want everything to be ok. :cry:

I am so sorry you are going through this. Try to stay positive hun. I bet it was just a false positive. I am sure the tech would have seen something on Kensley's scan had something been wrong. I will be praying for you and her! :hugs::hugs::hugs:
 
Thank you Momo I'm just really really worried :-/ I have to remember her middle name isn't Grace for no reason. <3 my appt tomorrow is at 9:45 I'll keep you updated their gonna do another scan and some extra tests. :(
 
It sucks for those of us going through extra tests or possible worries. Why would they even give a test that has a high rate of false positives? Just unnecessary worry for us pregnant women who are already extra worried anyway. I'm sure she's fine, workingonbaby2, and mine is too. I'm glad you will know something soon, prayers for kensely!

My little girl has one soft marker, but they don't plan on doing any other tests and pretty much just said she's probably fine. I almost wish they wouldn't have even told me about it when there's nothing they can do anyway.
 
Massive :hugs: workinonbaby2. Thinking of you & Kensely :hugs:

I can't believe how many :blue: we have! Where's all the girls?! Congrats to everyone who had found out.

Firmly :yellow: here :)

I bet you're right!! :dohh: I'm already choosing girls' names because I'm feeling confident it is a girl. :haha:

workingonbaby2, I'm sorry for all of the extra worry! :hugs: I'll keep you and your sweet baby in my thoughts and prayers for your tests tomorrow.
 
Thinking of you and your little girls workin and bookworm! I am right there with you on the extra worries and additional testing but I am sure that all of our little ones will be just fine. Sending lots of prayers and good thoughts to you and hope we all get the answers that we are looking for soon.
 
I HOPE it is a girl, but we have 8 more days until we know! Tbh, I will love this baby regardless of gender, I just want it to be happy and healthy! :) Any other babies kicking your backs? Mine has been today and it is the strangest feeling!
 
Off to my 20 week ultrasound! I'm a little worried about the results. I have an anterior placenta and have had two previous c-sections. They are checking today to make sure the placenta isn't touching my previous scars as that can be quite dangerous. Hoping it's higher up at this scan!

Thank you Bookworm!! I completely agree I asked the nurse Kelly why would they even offer it if there was a lot of false positives with it?! She said that's why she hates this test bc it puts worries that don't even need to be there. She said it's just what I would have to do now that it came back positive she said it's not diagnostic it's something else that's why it's off a lot of times. So idk just worried but my OH has been very supportive and he's going with me tomorrow along with my mom. Her middle name is grace for nothing.

Bookworm- do the soft markers go away eventually or what are they? I'll defintely be sending prayers your way also lots and lots of them with lots and lots of :hugs::hugs:.
Both of our girls are gonna be fine healthy and strong :flower: Keepin' the HOPE <3
 
So we had our 20 week scan. Baby is still a boy and he has all his fingers, toes, and organs.

Bad news! His head isn't wide enough. he is measuring 19+3 and his head is only measuring 17+3. They said it isn't wide enough and can cause inter cranial pressure once he is born because his skull is too small for his brain. they said it is also a sign of a couple rare genetic disorders. They are scheduling me to see a specialist this coming week. Please pray for my little man. I am so scared for him!
