I didn't do the needle test. They did the very detailed ultrasound and doc came in an said it wasn't necessary that it was a blood clot not a fibroid.

I have been cleared of any disability! The specialist even asked if my doc knew what she was talking about. I'm like wow turned out to be a blood clot. My baby girl is healthy and growing really well. She even turned on the ultrasound to show her hinny. Like see NA NA NA boo boo haha. I am so relieved.

I got amino done at 29 weeks when they found fluid around the baby's lung.. I handled it pretty good but they wanted to remove the fluid from around his lung so I got 2 needles =\ the second hurt the most cause they had to get in a good position but the amnio is straight in and done.. its quick you will be fine.. the amino is easy.. stings a little.. bring your partner.. it helped having mine there.

No matter what she's my angel. After trying three years and a miscarriage. She's my gift. No matter what. I have a fibroid on my uterus and can cause things like down syndrome and spinal bifida *(spelling) on my ultrasounds she's measuring right and her anatomy looks great my doc says! I love her to pieces already and nothing or any information will change that.

Also remember that all tests are not 100 percent accurate! My MIL had the test your choosing to do, they got the results and told her that her little boy was going to have severe mental and physical problems.  Keep trying to tell her it would be best to abort him, they were wrong there is nothing wrong with him he a happy perfectly healthy 5year old!!!
my drs wants me to have the test done because my daughter was at risk for cerebral palsy and seizures! (Because my husband has both)  I flat out refused it and told them i would love her no matter what, disability or no disability!  Shes perfectly healthy 14 month old!

When I had my ultrasound my doc said she was measuring great! And they said its my choice but they highly recommended I go!  I will be asking alot of questions before they do anything! If I back out at the last minute so be it :/

I was told I was high risk for ds from the quad screening test.. not sure if that's the one you had? But like 90% get false positives.. that's what my dr told me.. so when they offered the amnio I refused because of the risks as well as I didn't care if my baby had anything I would still love her. At my gender scan I made my dr check all her organs and make sure everything was measuring/looking on point and he was also checking for any abnormalities.. said everything looked great.. my odds were 1:280.. he told me anything over 200 is awesome.. I know its nerve racking tho :( hope everything turns out okay for your little precious one! I delivered my healthy baby girl Friday night
