Terrified of amnio results

[MrsMooky]

I'm 20 weeks and thought the pregnancy was going perfectly. No monrning sickeness whatsoever, bags of energy, I'm even glowing for christs sake. It was a colossal shock this morning to get a call from the hospital telling me that my downs risk is 1:50 (I conceived at 35, now am 36, NT was 1.6mm). I got an anomaly scan and amnio this afternoon but am absolutely petrified of the results. My doctor and consultant said the baby looks perfect - but is that a good sign? After the bloods look risky? I feel like can't deal with this. My dad died a week before I found out I was pregnant, I can't do more grieving this soon. I was meant to be finding out the sex tomorow but decided not to in case things do not go well. Reassurance needed..please.. 1:50 is not SO bad, is it??

Lovely Mrsmookey did you find out the sex or do you already know ? So happy for you xx

Than you so much. I couldn't bear to be told the sex yesterday in case anything went wrong, so now I have to wait for the full amnio results in a couple of weeks. Me and the husband have been poring over the ultrasound picture that we couldn't look at yesterday and saying things along the lines of 'is that a shadow or a penis?'!!!

Hee hee they rung me when I was at work I am a travel agent and was with a customer at the time I ran off and left her sat there lol dident even make it upstairs to take the call and just burst into tears when they told me hee hee. She said would you like to know the sex and I said can I pop you on hold whilst I ring my dh lol rung him and he said well I want to know at the same time so I put the nurse on loud speaker and she said it was a boy so not only then was I crying but all the girls I work with .

My little boy who I thought may have down syndrome is now sat next to me playing his ds being a pain in the bum telling me he has a ear infection think he may be just saying that because his little sister has a chest infection ans is off school

Pics on my profile if you want to have a peek x

He's gorgeous! And little boys being pains in the bum are a godsend given the possible alternatives :)

Lol it sure is very best of luck and cant wait to hear your news in the coming months xxxx

Hurrah! Really pleased to read your news.

Great news Mrs Mooky! I think you can breathe a huge sigh of relief! ARC told me that finding things on the full karyotype are very very rare.

I can't quite believe it - I was so prepared for the worst! Made a donation to ARC as a tiny step towards repaying my karmic debt :)

That's wonderful!!!! I am so happy for you! :D

Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

We had a call from the hospital yesterday telling us that the full results are all clear - yay!! - and the baby is a girl - wtf?!! DH made the midwife read out the results three times. To say that I'm shocked by this would be an understatement - I have just always imagined myself as a mum to boys. Or in fact, 'boy', as we're only planning on the one (and tbh its been so sodding stressful this time round, I don't know if I could do it again!). I'm not ungrateful, this time last week I promised the powers that be anything as long as the baby was healthy, its just such a shock. It's almost like finding out I'm pregnant all over again..

Oh how lovely many congrats, I was shocked when I was told we were having a girl lol think of all the lovely clothes you can buy her though xx

Yay, many congratulations on your baby girl with a clean bill of health!! I was shocked when I found out my first was a girl as I was so sure I was only going to have boys.. my second was a girl too! Girls clothes are MUCH nicer than boys clothes, to put it mildly.

So happy for you!!

Glad everything worked out for you and yay for a baby girl (although boys are lovely too) Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
