Well I got popped for Trisomy 18.

Beautiam2007,

Didn't they offer you an amino right now? Or if you don't want an amino right now, perhaps they could move your ultrasound up to 18 weeks?

Hi, I see this post if quite old, I just received the same. 1 in 10 chance and wanted to know how it went for you. I'm sick, haven't eaten in 2 days, cry all night and my ultrasound and visit with genetic specialist isn't for another 4-5 weeks. I don't know if I'll make it that long. I am 16 weeks along right now.

I know how you feel. Unfortunately it did not turn out well for us we did amnio at 16 weeks and he had T-18 and his brain scans showed extensive cysts on his brain (no brain development) We had to get a D&E a week before Christmas and he was 17.5 weeks. I hope that your baby doesn't have that issue. I would insist on having a scan before 4-5 weeks because if the baby has issues and dies then you will either have a induction to go into labor or a D&E. please if you have any more questions or help, please ask.

** Please note another lady in this thread had 1/10 chance for T18 and she wnt on to have a healthy baby. So there is a 50/50 chance.

sorry for your loss

Realize this thread is old, but still- so, so sorry for your loss. Heart wrenching.

Can't imagine one recovers too easily from something like this, but hope everything's much better now.
