Hi all,
My wife is 17 weeks pregnant, and it has been a crazy pregnancy. We wanted to see if anyone else out there had any similar experiences to us, and maybe any useful information that we can raise to our doctors when we meet with the OBGYN next week.
During the first trimester, my wife had spotting and bleeding. We had rush trips to the urgent care with the bleeding, but everything turned out OK.
At 12 weeks, we had the first trimester screening, and had a 1-9 chance that our child had down syndrome (nuchal: 1.02 MoM, HcG 3.0 MoM, and Papp-A 0.25 MoM).
At 16 weeks, we did the integrated screening and they revised our risk to 1-44 (HcG 5.18 MoM, UE3 0.66 MoM, INH 3.77 MoM, AFP 1.87 MoM).
She took a fetal DNA test from Verifi, which came back negative for trisomies 21, 18, and 13. She had an amnio on Monday to confirm, and we are waiting for results.
We had a preliminary level II ultrasound, learned the baby is a boy, and has short femurs (which is not good apparently, but my wife is short at 5'1 feet).
Also, since her Papp-A was so low (at 0.25 MoM), we have been told that may cause certain placental problems. Has anyone else had a Papp-A that low, and what did your doctors suggest that you do?
If anyone out there could help share their experiences with results similar to ours, that would be helpful. Also, any questions that you'd pose to the OBGYN related to the low PAPP-A would also be helpful. We thank you in advance.
