Just want everything to be ok :(

[KvBucci]

I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant an going for my second ultrasound today. As the first one reviled two soft markers for downs ( calcuim spot on her heart and 2mm fuild in one of the kidneys ) I already have a healthy 10 Month old boy. So this was a shock. I'm so confuses and pray that they might have gone. If not I'm getting an amnio ASAP I don't think I could deal with a baby that has downs emotionally and fiancally.. I'm so lost and upset I just want a healthy baby girl I always wanted :( not a day goes by I can't get this out of my head..

I hope you end up having a perfectly healthy baby but Downs babies can be high functioning and be the same blessing as a baby without Downs.  Try not to worry.  I know it is super hard but worrying won't change the outcome.  You now have your amnio booked so you will have answers soon.  I do wish you luck with the procedure and with your decision.

An amino isn't always right. I know some one who had the amino and it said her baby would have downs but she ended up having a healthy baby girl. No downs. Keep your head up.

Good luck on Tuesday.. I hope everything goes well with the amnio, i know it is  a very scary sounding procedure but many women get it done.

Please stay positive, and remember God wouldn't give us anything we couldn't handle <3

Just had my u/s and it's all still there no change
:( :( so I'm booked for amnio on Tuesday. I'm over this waiting and not knowing. I'm so upset and stressed. My husband and I ain't handling it very well at all.. Let's hope the amnio goes well and we get good news so I can start enjoying this pregnancy again :(

Good luck sweetie, keep me posted on your results:) I'll be crossing my fingers for us both

[KvBucci]

Yep to late :( I'm going to prob have to take the risk and have a amnio to found out for sure. Fingers cross I hear some good news at my u/s today.. Can only take one step at a time and see what happens :(

[barron5]

I believe its between 15-18 wks:(

[KvBucci]

I think it's too late. Isn't there so many weeks you have to be inbetween?

[MsKitty84]

That's so scary, best of luck on your ultrasound. I hope it goes well. Just in case it doesn;t, could you ask your doc to give you the blood test after all before you decide to go ahead the amnio? It might give you enough information so you don't need one, or it could help you decide that you really do need the amnio to know for sure.

[KvBucci]

I didn't do that test :( now I'm sort of regretting it.. So I'm thinking of getting a amnio. I'm losing sleep over all of it. And I swear my 10 month son is picking up on my worry because his been so misbehaved lately.. I feel so lost.. I'm scared to get amnio but feel its my only way for piece of mind as I feel I won't b able to care for a baby that has downs. :( :( And if I don't get the amnio and DO have a baby with downs that would be so very hard to deal with..

[barron5]

Did or do you know your results from the blood test for downs? I passed mine with a 1/10000 with my two yr old, I'm not sure of the results from this one yet. I'm hoping I passed it the same way,if I did then there's only a 5% or less chance for downs. I have my ultrasound Thursday and then see my mid wife Friday,hoping to know more then. I'm trying to be strong and telling myself I've been here before and everything was fine. But I will admit its not that easy and bothers me a lot at night

[Chika1216]

Wow I understand that you may be going through a very hrd time right now. But I knew this lady who had the same problem && she was worried and everything but at the end her baby ended up being completly healthy :) don't worry or stress to much because you're just going to overwhelm yourself. Enjoy your pregnancy because it's only ONCE that yooh have that baby inside of you. Wish you the best of luck.

[KvBucci]

Nice to know I'm not alone.. Good luck to you. It's so stressful I feel I'm not enjoying this pregnancy at all.. I'm trying to stay positive but it's really hard when you don't know the out come

[barron5]

I know how you feel,my 2 yr old had the same soft makers and now I'm 23 wks pregnant and going thru it again. My babys left kidney is measuring 4.4mm. I go Thursday for another ultrasound to see if there's been any change. With my two yr old the spots were gone by 23-24 weeks but his kidneys stayed enlarged until I was 38 wks and that's when I finally got the news that everything looked great:) He's a very healthy boy today:) Good luck I hope we both get healthy babies in the end
